About Google MCM

The Google MCM program enables supply partners to streamline the number of app developers (and other supply partners) they work with to increase trust, efficiency, and monetization in the advertiser supply chain and make Google Ad Exchange demand available for publishers.

SDK Integration Guide for MCM

To integrate Start.io's SDK including support for MCM (Multiple Customer Management) in your app, follow these steps:

Step 1, Create and Configure a GAM Account

1. Ensure that you have a Google Ad Manager (GAM) account.
2. Approve our invitation to participate in the program, establishing a child-parent relationship within your GAM account.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you do not have an invitation for this program and would like to receive one, please reach out to your account manager or to start.io's support

Step 2, Add Google Ads SDK Dependency

Update your app’s `build.gradle` file to include the Google Ads SDK dependency.

Use the following implementation line for version 23.3. and above:

   implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:23.3.+")

Make sure your Google Ads SDK is up to date.
We officially support Version 23.3.+ of Google Mobile Ads SDK.

Add the following `<meta-data>` tag to your `AndroidManifest.xml` file.

Replacing `ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~yyyyyyyyyy` with your actual Google Ads Application ID:
