iOS app from AdMob error = com.google.DummyAdapter?

Question

  Cannot find an ad network adapter with the name(s): (
\"com.google.DummyAdapter\"
). Remember to link all required ad network adapters and SDKs, and   se         


        

Answer 1

AdMob sends back a mediation list with only "com.google.DummyAdapter" when the actual network list returned to the app is empty. This is a special case, and it essentially just means "no fill".

It is quite possible that this happens if you set an eCPM floor and AdMob is your only network. For example, if you set a floor of 1.00 and AdMob does not have an ad worth $1.00 eCPM to show, AdMob excludes itself from your mediation chain.

In this example I'd still expect iAd to be returned. As for why it wasn't, maybe your ad unit had country level settings with iAd disabled in your country (wild guess).
