In your root-level (project-level) Gradle file (<project>/settings.gradle), add the following repositories block so that Gradle can download the artifacts of ad networks:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
  repositories {
    google()  
    mavenCentral()  
    maven {  
        name = "IronSourceAdsRepo"  
        url = "https://android-sdk.is.com/"  
        content { it.includeGroup("com.ironsource.sdk") }  
    }  
    maven {  
        name = "MintegralAdsRepo"

        content { it.includeGroup("com.mbridge.msdk.oversea") }  
    }  
    maven {  
        name = "PangleAdsRepo"  
        url = "https://artifact.bytedance.com/repository/pangle"  
        content { it.includeGroup("com.pangle.global") }  
    }  
    maven {

        url = "https://aa-sdk.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/android_repo"  
        content { it.includeGroup("tv.superawesome.sdk.publisher") }

    maven {

}

    maven {

        url = "https://maven.ogury.co"  
        content {  
            it.includeGroup("co.ogury")  
            it.includeGroup("co.ogury.module")

        url = "https://sdkpkg.sspnet.tech"  
        content {  
            it.includeGroup("sspnet.tech")  
            it.includeGroup("sspnet.tech.adapters")  
        }  
    }
    maven {  
        name = "SmaatoAdsRepo"  
        url = "https://s3.amazonaws.com/smaato-sdk-releases/"  
        content { it.includeGroup("com.smaato.android.sdk") }

You can integrate CAS to your Android app using one of the following options:

• Option 1: (recommended) Use the CAS Gradle plugin setup workflow.
• Option 2: Use the default Gradle setup (may require additional configuration).

The CAS SDK provide a Gradle Plugin to simplify and automate certain integration steps. Our plugin will automatically add mediated network dependencies to your project, which you configure in an cas block.

In your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually <project>/<app-module>/build.gradle), add the CAS services plugin inside the plugins block.

plugins {
    id("com.cleveradssolutions.gradle-plugin") version "3.9.4"
}

cas {
    // Plugin configuration
}

If you are integrating the plugin into the module (library-level) then also define the cas.casId property.

cas {
    casId = "com.yourcompany.yourproject"
}

You have the option not to use the Gradle Plugin; however, this will require additional configuration steps for your project.

Add dependency to build.gradle file.

dependencies {
   implementation("com.cleveradssolutions:cas-sdk:3.9.4")
}

CAS is a mediation platform that requires selecting desired ad networks for monetizing your application.

You can choose one of the ready-made solutions or integrate each adapter separately. Such solutions do not require you to add each network adapter separately.

If you already know what to expect from ad networks and are ready to select the set of adapters yourself, after completing the steps on this page, please refer to the Advanced Integration page. Or consult your account manager for assistance.

Add one of the following lines of the standard Clever Ads Solution to module build.gradle file.

Contains a number of stable ads networks that are recommended for use in most applications:
Google Ads, Unity Ads, IronSource, LiftoffMonetize, InMobi, Yandex Ads, Mintegral, Pangle, Chartboost, DTExchange, AppLovin, AudienceNetwork, Bigo, CASExchange.

cas {
    includeOptimalAds = true
}

implementation("com.cleveradssolutions:cas:3.9.4")

Designed for applications tagged at a children's audience and fully compatible with the Google Play Families Policies. Contains:
Google Ads, Unity Ads, IronSource, LiftoffMonetize, InMobi, Chartboost, DTExchange, Kidoz, SuperAwesome.

cas {
    includeFamiliesAds = true
}

implementation("com.cleveradssolutions:cas-families:3.9.4")

Enabling minifyEnabled is a crucial step in optimizing your mobile application, especially when integrating ad mediation SDKs that augment your codebase's size. By leveraging code minification, you not only reduce the overall footprint of your app but also enhance its performance, security, and compatibility.

android {
    buildTypes {  
        release {  
            minifyEnabled true
            ...
        }  
    }
    ...
}

The Advertising ID is a unique, user-resettable, and user-deletable ID for advertising, provided by Google Play services.

cas {
    useAdvertisingId = true
}

implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:18.0.1")

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID"/>

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID" tools:node="remove"/>

If you support Android SDK below 26, you must add the following snippet to the Android section:

android {
    compileOptions {
       sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
       targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
    ...
}

The following permissions are not required for our SDK or 3rd-party SDKs to function, but including them in your AndroidManifest.xml may result in improved eCPM and user experience.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>  
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>

🔗 Done! What’s Next?

• Those ad networks that are not included in standard solutions can be added separately, read more about Advanced integration.
