Logging

Console Logs​

SDK logging allows you to check SDK integration and activity, including information about waterfalls with ad units, ads requests, loading, and some other. We recommend always enabling logs and using the debug logs to get full SDK information.

Enable logging using the code below before SDK initialization:

Appodeal.setLogLevel(.verbose)
info

Should be called before the SDK initialization.

Available parameters:

  • APDLogLeveloff - logs off;

  • APDLogFlagError - only error messages;

  • APDLogLevelWarning - warning and error messages;

  • APDLogLevelDebug - debug messages;

  • APDLogLevelInfo - error, warning and information messages;

  • APDLogLevelVerbose - all SDK and ad network messages.

Connect a device with the app installed, open the Xcode console, run the app, and check SDK logs by the "Appodeal" tag. For more information about the console, please visit Debugging with Xcode.

Here is an example of Appodeal IOS SDK for interstitial ad type. Please note, logs can be different if you use another ad type or a different SDK configuration.

Activity Logs

Appodeal SDK provides API to log some mediation activity events. Implement APDActivityDelegate protocol and set its instance to Appodeal. These logs are not dependent on log level.

@UIApplicationMain
final class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
    var window: UIWindow?
    
    func application(
        _ application: UIApplication,
        didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil
    ) -> Bool {
        Appodeal.setActivityDelegate(self)
        return true
    }
}

extension AppDelegate: APDActivityDelegate {
    func didReceive(_ activityLog: APDActivityLog) {
        // TODO:
    }
}

APDActivityLog contains information about activity type, ad type, ad network and optional event-specific custom messages.

Available activity types are:

  • APDActivityTypeMediationStart - mediation start for ad unit;

  • APDActivityTypeMediationFinish - mediation finish for ad unit;

  • APDActivityTypeImpressionStart - impression start for ad unit;

  • APDActivityTypeImpressionFinish - impression finish for ad unit;

  • APDActivityTypeClick - user interact with impression;
