Mediation ad platform

Has anyone got Gideros up and running with mediation on iOS and Android?
Ie, platforms like Admob, Supersonic, Appodeal, DeltaDNA or Fyber that serve ads from a host of networks (Admob, Adcolony, Applovin, Chartboost, Vungle, Unity etc.).

We are using admob mediation using SDK-less ad providers now. However, it's too early to tell if this will work for us.
The Gideros ad plugins all seem to be at various stages development. Monetisation is an essential part an indie game developer's business strategy, so I would really like to know how we can maintain these plugins ourselves.

It looks promising @mertocan how is it doing on your games?
Do you earn something or is it like my chartboost profile? (0.02$ earnings so far..

I'm with @simwhi.. monetisation is essential. Without it you might as well not bother.

[edit: @simwhi are you sure? appodeal sdk includes some libs (.jar) files and its docs say to use only provided libraries, take a look at their "web based wizard":
https://www.appodeal.com/sdk/choose_framework ]
We really need to have a simple ads implementation.

Right now it's too early to include ads in my next game (and I don't want to mess up my already published one) but I will certainly share my findings.
However, just to encourage everyone, appodeal docs provide example manifest and as inclusion instructions on android there is only: waiting to hear from mertocan experience..
It looks like they have updated the lib recently too.
it should be all fine with their docs, when you enter their website you just need to choose Gideros in framework field, then you choose the platform (Android) and ad formats you'd like to use and see the relevant instruction. For Gideros it should look like this:
4. Gideros Integration
4.1. SDK and plugin integration
Place all .jar files and libads.so from the SDK archive into the libs folder of your gideros exported app.
Also include Google Play Services lib (7.5+) in your project.
4.2. SDK initialization
To initialize SDK you need to add following code to the beginning of your gideros project:
require "ads"
require "bit"
INTERSTITIAL = 1
SKIPPABLE_VIDEO = 2
BANNER = 4
BANNER_BOTTOM = 8
BANNER_TOP = 16
BANNER_CENTER = 32
REWARDED_VIDEO = 128
NON_SKIPPABLE_VIDEO = 128
appKey = "fee50c333ff3825fd6ad6d38cff78154de3025546d47a84f"
appodeal = Ads.new("appodeal")
appodeal:setKey(appKey, bit.bor(INTERSTITIAL | REWARDED_VIDEO))
end)

4.3. Interstitial Integration
4.3.1. Display interstitial
appodeal:showAd(INTERSTITIAL)
Copy to clipboard
4.3.2. Setting Interstitial callbacks
appodeal:addEventListener(Event.AD_RECEIVED, function(e)
if e.type=="interstitial" then
end
end)
appodeal:addEventListener(Event.AD_FAILED, function(e)
if e.type=="interstitial" then
end
end)
appodeal:addEventListener(Event.AD_ACTION_BEGIN, function(e)
if e.type=="interstitial" then
end
end)
appodeal:addEventListener(Event.AD_DISMISSED, function(e)
if e.type=="interstitial" then
end
end)
appodeal:addEventListener(Event.AD_DISPLAYED, function(e)
if e.type=="interstitial" then
end
end)

4.4. Rewarded (Non-skippable) Video Integration
4.4.1. Display Rewarded (Non-skippable) Video
To display rewarded video you need to call the following code in activity:
appodeal:showAd(REWARDED_VIDEO)
Copy to clipboard
4.4.2. Setting rewarded video callbacks
appodeal:addEventListener(Event.AD_RECEIVED, function(e)
if e.type=="rewarded" then
end
end)
appodeal:addEventListener(Event.AD_FAILED, function(e)
if e.type=="rewarded" then
end
end)
appodeal:addEventListener(Event.AD_DISMISSED, function(e)
if e.type=="rewarded" then
end
end)
appodeal:addEventListener(Event.AD_DISPLAYED, function(e)
if e.type=="rewarded" then
end
end)
appodeal:addEventListener(Event.AD_ACTION_END, function(e)
if e.type=="rewarded" then
end
end)

Their support service told me that the percentage is dynamic, it varies on your traffic, and it is That's not much different from what I do with other providers..

i personally use them for a long time, to my exp money dropdowns might happen in the end of Q because advertisers set new budgets + it’s usual situation for whole market each Q.
also traffic volume is crucial, if u have like a couple of thousands imps/day you should’t expect super results from mediation, because that amount of imps won’t be enough to cover all possible sources that could buy ads for max price.

Another problem is that before I needed to have tv compatible ads, I'm not sure if appodeal 'knows' about android tv and fire tv ads?

They replied,
So, you should wait until you have 2-3 thousands impressions to get higher eCPM values. They select best ad network for specific people. It increases your eCPM values.
