@react-native-google-mobile-ads/yandex

Yandex Google Ad Manager / AdMob mediation adapter package for react-native-google-mobile-ads.

Platform disposition: iOS-only

Google does not publish an open-source / versioned Yandex mediation adapter:

• No CocoaPods GoogleMobileAdsMediationYandex (CocoaPods 404)
• No Maven com.google.ads.mediation:yandex (Google Maven 404)
• Yandex is absent from AdMob / GAM choose ad sources lists
• Google’s /mediation/yandex guide URLs return 404 (AdMob + GAM, Android + iOS)

Character inventory treats the Yandex GAM adapter as iOS-focused (Android none), consistent with the Google publication gaps above.

This package therefore ships iOS only, linking Yandex’s own published AdMob custom-event adapters — not Yandex Mobile Mediation as a host (GoogleYandexMobileAdsAdapters / MAX / CloudX are out of scope).

Yandex does publish an Android AdMob adapter (com.yandex.ads.adapter:admob-mobileads on Maven Central). It is not linked here because Google has no official Android Yandex GAM mediation artifact and Character lists Android coverage for this network as none.

Install

yarn add @react-native-google-mobile-ads/yandex
# peer: react-native-google-mobile-ads

Autolinking pulls in the iOS mediation pod. Rebuild the app after install. Android autolinking is disabled for this package.

Native adapter class names (AdMob / GAM UI — custom events)

Yandex is added to AdMob / GAM mediation as a custom event (not a single GADMediationAdapter* class). Paste the class name for the ad format:

| Platform | Format | Class name | | -------- | ------ | ---------- | | iOS | Banner | YMAAdMobCustomEventBanner | | iOS | Interstitial | YMAAdMobCustomEventInterstitial | | iOS | Rewarded | YMAAdMobCustomEventRewarded | | iOS | Native | YMAAdMobCustomEventNative | | Android | — | not shipped |

Also exported from JS:

import {
  nativeAdapterClassName,
  networkSlug,
} from '@react-native-google-mobile-ads/yandex';

// nativeAdapterClassName.android === null
// nativeAdapterClassName.ios.banner === 'YMAAdMobCustomEventBanner'

Custom-event parameter JSON (Yandex Ad Unit ID) must still be configured in the AdMob / GAM UI per Yandex’s guide, e.g. {"adUnitId": "R-M-XXXXXX-X"}.

• CocoaPods: https://cocoapods.org/pods/YandexMobileAdsAdMobAdapters (Trunk latest 8.4.0.0 as of 2026-09-04)
• CocoaPods Specs podspec 8.4.0.0: depends on YandexMobileAds ~> 8.4.0, Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK ~> 13.6.0, platforms.ios 13.0
• Android AdMob adapter exists at Maven Central but is not used here: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.yandex.ads.adapter/admob-mobileads (8.4.0.0); Yandex guide: https://ads.yandex.com/helpcenter/en/dev/android/admob-third
• Do not use GoogleYandexMobileAdsAdapters — that enables Google inside Yandex Mobile Mediation (Yandex-as-host), which is out of RNGMA adapter scope

Core continues to own play-services-ads / Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK. This package does not re-pin the GMA SDK.

[email protected] requires Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK ~> 13.6.0, which matches the core package's iOS GMA pin.

Platform floors align with core: iOS 15.1 and Android minSdk 24. The mediation integration remains iOS-only.

Google’s mediation guides permit Android minSdk 23 upstream; this product advertises 24 to match core.

Expo (optional)

// app.json / app.config.js plugins
[
  '@react-native-google-mobile-ads/yandex',
  {
    // Pass Yandex SKAdNetwork IDs from Yandex’s current docs
    skAdNetworkItems: [/* ... */],
  },
]

App IDs stay in the core Expo plugin.

• Yandex Mobile Mediation host SDK (YandexMobileAdsMediation, GoogleYandexMobileAdsAdapters)
• AppLovin MAX host SDK
