What it does

When installed, the agent can review an app project that uses the Google Mobile Ads (GMA) SDK and check common pre-launch mistakes: test ad unit or test application IDs left in the code, missing SKAdNetwork IDs for iOS, mediation adapter version mismatches, and ad preloading issues. It can run a full audit or just one check, then produce a Markdown table of pass, warning, fail, or N/A results with suggested next steps. The checklist is defined by reference guides bundled with the skill.

Great for

  • Mobile developers preparing an iOS, Android, or Unity app for release that shows Google ads
  • Teams who want a repeatable pre-launch checklist for ad integration
  • Developers troubleshooting mediation or SKAdNetwork configuration

Skip it if

  • Non-developers or apps that do not use the Google Mobile Ads SDK, since the checks do not apply
  • Anyone expecting a guarantee of ad revenue or policy compliance; the skill only checks the listed items and the reference guides may become outdated as SDKs change

Try asking

  • “Run a full pre-launch audit of my iOS app's Google Mobile Ads integration”
  • “Check whether my project still contains test ad unit IDs before I submit to the store”
  • “Validate my mediation adapter SDK versions against the GMA SDK”
  • “Review my ad preloading code for problems”

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Name the specific check (for example, SKAdNetwork IDs) if you do not need a full audit, which saves time.
  • Have the agent work from your actual project files and build configuration so findings reflect your real setup.
  • Treat the report as a checklist aid and confirm critical findings against current official Google Mobile Ads documentation.
