6. After importing the latest MAS SDK, I can't see the ads in testing; what should I do?​

Make sure your test device is added and that test ads are enabled in the dashboard. Follow this link for more details, but if ads are still not showing, please contact support.

7. I see that you will be discontinuing support for versions prior to MAS 4.8.2; what exactly does that mean?​

We will stop providing technical support and monetization optimization for apps using earlier versions than MAS 4.8.2.

8. If I haven't upgraded by July 30, will my app be demonetized?​

No, your app will still be monetized after July 30, but we will no longer provide technical support or monetization optimization for it, as stated above.

9. Will I still get paid if I am using an old version after July 30?​

Yes, you will still get paid after July 30 if you are using an older version. However, it's certainly in your best interest to upgrade for even more improved monetization.

10. After upgrading to the latest MAS SDK, my DAU increased but the ARPDAU and IMP/DAU dropped; why is this?​

This happens due to a data discrepancy issue with the old SDK that we fixed in MAS 4.8.2+ that caused the DAU shown to be lower while ARPDAU and IMP/DAU were higher. The data displayed now in the dashboard is more accurate.

11. I still have questions. How can I contact support and get help?​

You can reach out to support using the chat option in the MAS Dashboard.
