Integration Guide v7.6.0

Overview

Thank you for choosing Pokkt SDKfor Cocos2d-3x. This document contains all the information required to set up the SDK with your project. We also support mediation for various third party networks. To know the supported third party networks and their integration process go to mediation section.

Before implementing plugins it is mandatory to go through project configuration and implementation steps , as these sections contain mandatory steps for basic SDK integration and are followed by every plugin.

You can download our SDK from pokkt.com

ScreenName: This one parameter is accepted by almost all API’s of Pokkt SDK. This controls the placement of ads and can be created on Pokkt Dashboard.

We will be referencing PokktAds Demo app provided with SDK during the course of explanation in this document. We suggest you go through the sample app for better understanding.
