What is Flutter?
Flutter is Google's portable UI toolkit that allows developers to build mobile apps for both Android and iOS, among other platforms. As an open-source project built with C, C++, Dart, and Skia, it accelerates app development and reduces the cost and complexity of cross-platform app production.
From highly branded designs to pixel-perfect experiences, Flutter uses its own high-performance rendering engine to draw widgets. This framework is designed to be layered and customizable, enabling you to create your own widgets or customize existing ones.
Development teams familiar with object-oriented concepts can now integrate a full-stack monetization SDK. From new apps to top global hits, our one-stop growth engine provides all the features your apps need at every stage of success.
Ad Types you can Monetize in Flutter
After integrating the Appodeal SDK and the Flutter compatibility plugin, you can incorporate various ad units into your app.
Enhance your ad experience with rewarded videos, full-screen ads, playable ads, native ads, and banner ads.
Interstitials
Full-screen advertisements that can be static or video-based. In Appodeal, they are categorized as:
- static interstitial - static full-screen banners
- video interstitial - videos that users can close 5 seconds after they start.
Both types are requested in parallel during caching, and the highest-paying ad is displayed.
Rewarded video
User-initiated ads where users earn in-app rewards in exchange for viewing a video ad.
Developers requiring more control over rewarded video ad loading can use manual caching with the Appodeal SDK. This feature can improve your display rate and reduce SDK loads when multiple ad types are cached.
You can also set up Predicted eCPM, which returns the expected eCPM for a cached ad, calculated based on historical data for the current ad unit.
Banner
Classic static ads typically located at the top or bottom of the screen, adjustable to the device's size and orientation.
Only one banner can be displayed on the screen at a time. If a loaded ad cannot be shown for a specific placement, nothing will be displayed
MREC
Rectangular ads (300x250) that do not require a full-screen view.
Similar to banner ads, MREC ads can be placed anywhere within the app's layout, allowing users to continue interacting with the app while the ad is displayed.
Consent Manager with Flutter: GDPR, CCPA, COPA, iOS ATT…
Appodeal simplifies compliance with privacy laws and regulations in the mobile ad-tech industry.
By integrating the Appodeal SDK and Flutter compatibility plugin, you'll gain access to our Stack Consent Manager—a ready-made solution that collects explicit user consent in regions covered by GDPR and CCPA.
This enables Appodeal and our ad providers to deliver more relevant ads to your users, resulting in higher eCPMs. Stack Consent Manager includes a pre-made consent window that you can easily present to your users, eliminating the need to create your own.
Additionally, if your app is designed for children, you can disable the transmission of user data to ad networks to comply with COPPA.
What about iOS 14.5 & ATT Framework?
Since iOS 14.5, the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) is unavailable unless your app uses the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework to obtain user authorization. If this request is not presented, the IDFA is automatically zeroed out, potentially leading to a significant loss in ad revenue.
However, the Stack Consent Manager framework is included by default in your project, so no additional steps are required. The authorization request will be shown to users on iOS 14.5 and later
