Issues with Yandex Network Integration via AppLovin SDK

---

Problem Summary

While migrating my Flutter mobile application from Yandex Mediation to AppLovin, with Yandex as the primary network, I encountered the following issues:

1. Adaptive Banners:
   Yandex supports adaptive banners that scale dynamically to match the screen width, providing a better user experience. However, the AppLovin adapter for Yandex does not support this feature, causing banners to appear too narrow, with poor content visibility.

2. App Launch Ads:
   Yandex offers a special ad format for app launches, which is critical for monetization. Although AppLovin supports app launch ads, the Yandex adapter does not, making it impossible to utilize this feature through mediation.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Integrate the Yandex network into Flutter application via AppLovin mediation.
2. Attempt to display an adaptive banner.
3. Attempt to display an app launch ad.

Actual vs Expected Behavior

• Adaptive Banners:
  • Actual: Banners appear with fixed narrow widths, making the content hard to see.
  • Expected: Banners should adapt to the screen width, similar to the native Yandex implementation.
• App Launch Ads:
  • Actual: App launch ads are not supported through the Yandex adapter in AppLovin.
  • Expected: The adapter should allow app launch ads, as supported by both AppLovin and Yandex.

Impact

These limitations significantly reduce monetization opportunities and degrade the user experience for applications relying on Yandex as the primary ad network.

Yandex

Please prioritize resolving these issues to enhance compatibility between AppLovin mediation and Yandex Ads.

Hi @DenchikBY - we are investigating adaptive banners, and for App Open ads, you'd have to implement it as a custom adapter.
