Implementation Steps.

SDK Configuration

1. Set Application Id and Security key in Pokkt SDK. You can get it from Pokkt dashboard from your account. We generally assign unique application Id and Security key.

PokktAds.setPokktConfigWithAppId:(NSString*) appId securityKey:(NSString*)securityKey

2. If you are using server to server integration with Pokkt, you can also set Third Party UserId in PokktAds.

PokktAds.setThirdPartyUserId:(NSString*) userId

3. When your application is under development and if you want to see Pokkt logs and other informatory messages, you can enable it by setting shouldDebug to true . Make sure to disable debugging before release.

[PokktDebugger setDebug: YES/ NO];

Ad Types

Video

• Video ad can be rewarded or non-rewarded. You can directly call show for it.

• it will stream the video which may lead to buffering delays depending on the network connection.

Rewarded

1. To show rewarded ad call:

   [PokktVideoAds showRewardedVideoAd:(NSString*) screenName viewController:(UIViewController *)viewController];

Non Rewarded

1. To show non-rewarded ad call:

   [PokktVideoAds showNonRewardedVideoAd:(NSString*) screenName viewController:(UIViewController *)viewController];

Ad Delegates

Ad actions are optional, but we suggest to implement them as it will help you to keep track of the status of your ad request.

Video

[PokktVideoAdsDelegate setPokktVideoAdsDelegate:self];

OutStream Ads

1. OutStream ad will be non-rewarded only.

2. Ad will play only if Ad is visible in bound, if it is not visible on the screen it will in pause state.

3. OutStream Ad contain 3 states as Play, Pause & Replay. After completing the video Replay button will be enable.

4. If You are requesting for full screen ad then you have to destroy OutStream ad.

5. OutStream Ad allows only for the following format.

   • ScrollView

     1. Load OutStream Ad Call:

        +(void)loadOutstreamAd:(NSString*) screenName placeHolder:(UIView *)container scrollView:(UIScrollView *)scrollView withDelegate: (PokktOutStreamsAdsDelegate*) delegate

     2. Destroy OutStream Ad Call:

        +(void)disappearScrollViewOutStreamAd:(NSString *)screenName inContainer:(UIView *)container

   • Tableview

     1. Load Ad

        +(void)loadOutstreamAd:(NSString*) screenName atIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath tableView:(UITableView *)tableView withDelegate:(PokktOutStreamsAdsDelegate*) delegate

     2. Destroy Ad

        +(void)disappearTableViewOutStreamAd:(NSString *)screenName inContainer:(UITableView *)tableView

Pokkt ad player configuration

Pokkt Ad player works the way App is configured at Pokkt dashboard, but we provide a way to override those settings using PokktAdPlayerViewConfig.

Application should prefer configuration provided through code by developer or what’s configured for the app in dashboard, can be controlled any time through the dashboard itself. If you want to make changes to this configuration after your app distribution, you can contact Pokkt Team to do the same for your app through admin console.

PokktAdPlayerViewConfig * adPlayerViewConfig = [[PokktAdPlayerViewConfig alloc] init];
// set properties values to adPlayerViewConfig
PokktAds.setAdPlayerViewConfig(adPlayerViewConfig );

Various properties that can be managed through this are:

1. Default skip time Defines the time after which user can skip the Ad. Property name: DefaultSkipTime Values: Any Integer value. Default value is 10 seconds.

2. Should allow skip Defines if user is allowed to skip the Ad or not. Property name: ShouldAllowSkip Values: True = User can skip Ad. False = User can’t skip Ad.
