Download

The MoPub SDK is available via:

JCenter AAR

The MoPub SDK is available as an AAR via JCenter; to use it, add the following to your build.gradle.

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    compile('com.mopub:mopub-sdk:4.14.0@aar') {
        transitive = true
    }
}

SDK Modularization

With the modular SDK, you can choose to include specific formats to decrease overall SDK footprint in your app. To do so, include the line for any combination of components that you want in your build.gradle file as follows:

repositories {
    // ... other project repositories
    jcenter()
}
// ...

dependencies {
    // ... other project dependencies

    // For banners
    compile('com.mopub:mopub-sdk-banner:4.14.0@aar') {
        transitive = true
    }
    
    // For interstitials
    compile('com.mopub:mopub-sdk-interstitial:4.14.0@aar') {
        transitive = true
    }

    // For rewarded videos. This will automatically also include interstitials
    compile('com.mopub:mopub-sdk-rewardedvideo:4.14.0@aar') {
        transitive = true
    }

    // For native static (images).
    compile('com.mopub:mopub-sdk-native-static:4.14.0@aar') {
        transitive = true
    }

    // For native video. This will automatically also include native static
    compile('com.mopub:mopub-sdk-native-video:4.14.0@aar') {
        transitive = true
    }
}

To continue integration using the mopub-sdk AAR, please see the Getting Started guide.

Upgrading from 3.2.0 and Prior

Important Message About Upgrading to MoPub SDK 4.4.0+

Version 4.4.0 of the MoPub SDK fixes a security issue identified by Google. Note that only publishers who received a message from Google are affected. While not all publishers are impacted, we recommend you upgrade to SDK 4.4.0+ ahead of Google's deadline (July 11, 2016) to avoid any issues submitting updates to your apps after the date. More information can be found in Google's support article.

Working with Android 6.0 Runtime Permissions

If your app's target SDK is 23 or higher and the user's device is running Android 6.0 or higher, you are responsible for supporting runtime permissions, one of the changes introduced in Android 6.0 (API level 23). In addition to listing any dangerous permissions your app needs in the manifest, your app also has to explicitly request the dangerous permission(s) during runtime by calling method requestPermissions() in the ActivityCompat class.

Specifically for the MoPub SDK:

Dangerous permission ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION is needed to pass network location data to MoPub.
Dangerous permission ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION is needed to pass GPS location data to MoPub.
- Granting ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION also allows network location data to be passed to MoPub without the need to also grant ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
Dangerous permission WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is needed for MRAID 2.
Note: The user can deny granting any dangerous permissions during runtime, so please make sure your app can handle this properly.
Note: The user can revoke any permissions granted previously by going to your app's Settings screen, so please make sure your app can handle this properly.
