[Huawei Developers] Freemind R:
AppsUP contest has already been launched for one month. A number of participants in the forum ask some questions about Ads Kit. Today I want to share the frequently asked questions of Ads Kit with you. Hope they can be helpful for you.

Q: How to integrate Huawei Ads in my game? How could it compliant to EU consent?

A: Here is the link: https://developers.google.com/admob/android/eu-consent

Q: How to get ads ids for my apps those are available on Huawei Developer Console?

A: regarding getting Ads ID, please first make sure your developer account is a Company Account, because Ads on individual account is not available just yet.

If your account is a company account, you can login to your console

https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/console#/serviceCards/

Then look for the Monetize Service section and click on Publisher Service. There you can select My Apps, click Add app, and then you can register your app for Ads Service. Afterwards an Ads ID will be generated for you and will be showed on the panel.

Q: I used cordova for development app and plugins that provided from huawei like analytics and I succeeded, but for ads-kit can’t find guide for integration plugin - only I can find download plugin 4.0.4 and demo example. But what I get Console without any fired event that registered like "failed" and also did not get any Oaid.

A: Some kits are incompatible with non-huawei devices, even if you install the HMS core APK. You can check the compatibility for each kit here.

Q: I find all the sample use the test ads id but how to make the release one?

A: Individual account is not supported yet, but this function will be available at end of August, confirmed by related department.

Q: Why do native ad videos fail to be played and remain in loading state?

A: On mobile phones whose targetSdkVersion is 28 or later, ad video assets may fail to be downloaded. In this case, you need to configure the app to allow HTTP network requests. For details, please refer to Configuring Network Permissions.

Q: What are the differences between the ads-lite SDK, ads-identifier SDK, and ads-install referrer SDK provided by HUAWEI Ads Kit?

A: The Difference:

1. ads-lite: Integrates ad formats such as banner, native, rewarded, interstitial and splash ads.

2. ads-identifier: Obtains the OAID and the value of Disable Ads Personalization.

3. ads-installreferrer: used to obtain an install referrer.

To know more please refer to Integrating the HUAWEI Ads SDK.

Q: How is an ad report generated? Is developer data reported in two copies (one copy for Huawei and the other copy for the third-party platform)?

A: An ad report is generated after the server cleans various ad SDK-reported ad events for the anti-cheating purpose. The ad SDK in the app reports data to the ad platform and third-party advertising platform.

Q: I am individual developer. What platform I can use to monetize my apps?

A: You can apply for the Merchant Service if you want to use the In-App Purchases service, distribute paid apps or themes, or carry out joint operations (for apps, games, and themes) with Huawei. Please follow the instructions here:

Q: I want to distribute my Games in China. When I select china it asks me to upload some Copyrighted approved content? How can I bring these documents to china government because I am not from China but I want to distribute my games in China as well on App Gallery.

For companies: should have ICP, Network culture business license and Internet publishing license

For games: should have Software copyright, Game operation record and ISBN
