Native Ads

Native ads allow you to present your ads in a way that blends seamlessly with your existing design, providing users with a unified experience.

Once a native ad loaded, you can access to an ad’s individual assets and then display them according to your UI layout.

The following sections show you how to load and then show a native ad.

Load an ad

To load a native ad, instantiate an CTNativeAd object that corresponds to your ad unit and call its loadAd method

• Objective-C

#import <CartySDK/CartySDK.h>

self.nativeAd = [[CTNativeAd alloc] init];
self.nativeAd.placementid = @"<your-placement-id>";
self.nativeAd.rootViewController = self;
self.nativeAd.delegate = self;
[self.nativeAd loadAd];

• Swift

import CartySDK

nativeAd = CTNativeAd()
nativeAd.placementid = "<your-placement-id>"
nativeAd.rootViewController = self
nativeAd.delegate = self
nativeAd.load()

Register for Callbacks

Implement CTNativeAdDelegate to listen to ad events.

• Objective-C

- (void)CTNativeAdDidLoad:(nonnull CTNativeAd *)ad { 
    NSLog(@"Ad loaded");
}

- (void)CTNativeAdLoadFail:(nonnull CTNativeAd *)ad withError:(nonnull NSError *)error { 
    NSLog(@"Ad load fail: %@",error.localizedDescription);
}

- (void)CTNativeAdDidShow:(nonnull CTNativeAd *)ad { 
	NSLog(@"Ad did show");
}

- (void)CTNativeAdShowFail:(nonnull CTNativeAd *)ad withError:(nonnull NSError *)error { 
    NSLog(@"Ad show fail: %@",error.localizedDescription);
}

- (void)CTNativeAdDidClick:(nonnull CTNativeAd *)ad {
    NSLog(@"Ad did click");
}

• Swift

func ctNativeAdDidLoad(_ ad: CTNativeAd) {
    print("Ad loaded")
}
    
func ctNativeAdLoadFail(_ ad: CTNativeAd, withError error: any Error) {
    print("Ad load fail \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
    
func ctNativeAdDidShow(_ ad: CTNativeAd) {
    print("Ad did show")
}
    
func ctNativeAdShowFail(_ ad: CTNativeAd, withError error: any Error) {
    print("Ad show fail \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
    
func ctNativeAdDidClick(_ ad: CTNativeAd) {
    print("Ad did click")
}

Native ad assets

After the ad loaded, the ad resources can be obtained from the native object.

assets	Type
title	NSString
desc	NSString
ctaText	NSString
iconImageURL	NSString
adChoiceView	UIView
mediaView	UIView

Display the ad

To display native ads, after completing your UI layout, you need to call the registerContainer of CTNativeAd to register the ad container and clickable elements.

• Objective-C

if(!self.nativeAd.isReady)
{
    return;
}

//set Title
self.nativeView.titleLabel.text = self.nativeAd.title;
//set Desc
self.nativeView.textLabel.text = self.nativeAd.desc;
//set CTA
self.nativeView.ctaLabel.text = self.nativeAd.ctaText;
//add mediaView
[self.nativeView.mainView addSubview:self.nativeAd.mediaView];
//add adChoiceView
[self.nativeView.adChoiceView addSubview:self.nativeAd.adChoiceView];
//set icon image
if(self.nativeAd.iconImageURL){
  dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
        NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:self.nativeAd.iconImageURL]];
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            self.nativeView.iconImageView.image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
        });
    });
}

//show ad
[self.adView addSubview:self.nativeView];
//register nativeView and clickable elements
[self.nativeAd registerContainer:self.nativeView withClickableViews:@[self.nativeView.titleLabel,self.nativeView.iconImageView,self.nativeView.mainImageView,self.nativeView.ctaLabel]];

• Swift

if(!nativeAd.isReady())
{
    return
}

//set Title
nativeView!.titleLabel!.text = nativeAd.title
//set Desc
nativeView!.textLabel!.text = nativeAd.desc
//set CTA
nativeView!.ctaLabel!.text = nativeAd.ctaText
//add mediaView
nativeView!.mainView!.addSubview(nativeAd.mediaView!)
//add adChoiceView
nativeView!.adChoiceView!.addSubview(nativeAd.adChoiceView!)
//set icon image
if(nativeView!.iconImageView != nil && nativeAd.iconImageURL != nil)
{
    fetchRemoteImage(urlStr: nativeAd.iconImageURL!)
}

//show ad
adView?.addSubview(nativeView!)
//register nativeView and clickable areas
nativeAd.registerContainer(nativeView!, withClickableViews: array)

Other

Mute

Make sure make this call before load

• Objective-C

self.nativeAd.isMute = YES;

• Swift

nativeAd.isMute = true
