Prerequisites

Performed by: Developer

See the Compatibility Matrix for the minimum Android and iOS versions for this package.

Install the SDK

Performed by: Developer

Install the TapMind AdMob extension:

Extension → Extension Manager → Install from File
Download the TapMind extension ZIP: TapMind-CA-Admob-Cocos (main)
Select the downloaded ZIP, install, then Enable the extension in the Installed tab.

Configure AdMob

Performed by: Ad ops

Create the custom event (waterfall): Mediation → Create mediation group → select Android or iOS and ad format → name it (provided by your account manager) → Add ad units → select your app and ad units.

Add the ad source: Waterfall source → Set up ad source → Custom event → select your app/platform → select the ad unit, then enter:

Android

Mapping name : provided by your account manager
eCPM         : provided by your account manager
Class        : com.tapmind.tech.TapMindMediationAdapterAdmob
Parameter    : {"placementName": "provided by your account manager"}

iOS

Mapping name : provided by your account manager
eCPM         : provided by your account manager
Class        : TapMindMediationAdapterAdmob
Parameter    : {"placementName": "provided by your account manager"}

The placementName value is case-sensitive and must exactly match the Placement Name configured in the TapMind Dashboard.

Note: Official Google documentation: Create a custom event

Verify integration

Performed by: Developer

After install and dashboard configuration:

Run your app in a debug build. TapMind's test mode is enabled automatically in debug builds and serves test ads at a high fill rate.
Request an ad through your mediation SDK as you normally would.
Confirm a TapMind ad fills. Check logs for the tag TapMindAdapter.
When verified, build in release mode for production - test mode is disabled automatically in release builds, and live ads serve.

Note: Test mode is automatic. It follows your build type: debug = test ads, release = live ads. There is no flag to enable or disable, and nothing to turn off before going live.

Release build QA: There is currently no documented release-safe test path to validate R8/ProGuard without serving live ads. Consumer ProGuard rules from the TapMind AAR are applied automatically when you integrate the published adapter packages.

Troubleshooting

Performed by: Developer

Before diving into logs, confirm adapter class names and the LevelPlay network key against the Class & Network Key Registry, and placementName and eCPM/rate with your account manager.

See Troubleshooting for common symptoms, mediation-specific fixes, release vs debug guidance, and escalation steps. Partner-specific verification steps are under Verify integration above.
