Advertisement SDK – Flexible In-App Banner System
About the Project
To support ad delivery in a major client’s mobile app, we developed a reusable Advertisement SDK for both iOS and Android. The SDK simplifies banner ad integration by supporting both in-house and third-party ad providers through a single, consistent interface, making it easy to use and adopt across different app modules.
Business Challenge
The client needed a flexible advertising solution capable of showing banners from both their own system and an external ad network. The main challenge was building an SDK that could dynamically determine and render the right banner depending on the app’s current state.
Contributions
With multiple ad providers in scope, we proposed and built a lightweight, modular Advertisement SDK for iOS and Android designed for flexibility easy usage:
- Developed a unified API for requesting, configuring, and rendering banners
- Abstracted each ad provider behind a common interface to support switching or adding new providers easily
- Enabled dynamic UI rendering, allowing apps to simply request a banner, while the SDK determines what, when, and how to display
Reusable & Scalable Solution
The Advertisement SDK was developed as a standalone module with a unified interface. It can be integrated into any app with minimal effort, supports screen-specific ad placements, and is easily extendable to work with additional providers or new ad formats.
Key Expertise
- Designed tools that are both scalable for the business and easy for mobile teams to adopt
- Created a flexible ad delivery solution that’s easy for mobile teams to adopt and extend
- Successfully handled integrations with both internal and third-party ad systems across Android and iOS
- Built a UI-aware architecture that makes it easy to render banners dynamically with minimal code impact
Results
Built an SDK that supports multiple ad providers with no changes to app-level business logic
Significantly reduced integration time and complexity for teams adopting ad banners in mobile products
Created a foundation for future monetization and experimentation with new ad formats
