Verify integration

Performed by: Developer

After install and dashboard configuration:

  1. 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.
  2. Request an ad through your mediation SDK as you normally would.
  3. Confirm a TapMind ad fills. Check logs for the tag TapMindAdapter.
  4. 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.
