Google Mobile Ads Interstitial Integration Guide
Guides Android and iOS teams through integrating Google Mobile Ads interstitials at natural app transition points.
The skill is scoped to Android/iOS interstitial-ad implementation and requires identifying the platform and target file. No credential theft, covert exfiltration, or destructive default is shown. However, it does not disclose ad data flows, privacy/consent requirements, dependency permissions, confirmation scope, or rollback procedures, so points are deducted.
The documents define a basic platform split and load, callback, show, and reference-release workflow, including an Android callback-thread warning. Static materials contain no test suite, complete examples, compatibility matrix, or systematic abnormal-input handling; some API and threading claims cannot be verified statically, so points are deducted.
The name and description clearly target GMA SDK interstitial ads and explicitly exclude rewarded interstitials. Separate Android and iOS guides are provided, and the workflow asks for clarification when the platform is unclear. However, supported project versions, inputs and outputs, non-fit cases, regional compliance, Chinese-language support, and network reachability are not adequately defined; no fallback is described for inaccessible Google services, so points are deducted.
The structure is readable, with platform reference files, a version field, repository installation guidance, an Apache-2.0 license, maintenance status, and issue-reporting paths. The skill itself lacks copy-ready examples, FAQs, known limitations, dependency versions, changelog details, and explicit maintenance ownership, so points are deducted.
The workflow covers the core interstitial integration sequence and names important Android/iOS APIs and build-verification actions, which can support a basic implementation. It lacks a complete directly usable implementation, initialization/configuration and lifecycle details, ad-unit and presentation-timing guidance, and verified outputs; static calibration limits effectiveness to 7 or below, so points are deducted.
The evidence includes a pinned revision, exact path, API signatures, and official documentation fallback references, providing limited auditability. There are no committed tests, CI coverage, sample projects, or third-party execution results, and no code was executed in this review, so the score remains low.
- Do not treat this skill as a complete compliance solution; separately verify privacy disclosures, consent, SDK initialization, regional policies, and data processing requirements.
- The Android guide requires switching callback UI work to the main thread, but that claim and the stated API version are not validated by the supplied static evidence; confirm them against the project-pinned official SDK documentation.
- The documents request Gradle or xcodebuild verification, but no build was executed in this review; the project must still validate dependencies, lifecycle behavior, presentation timing, and failure handling.
- The skill depends on Google Mobile Ads services; reachability may be limited on mainland-China networks, and no alternative or offline path is documented.
What does this skill do, and when should you use it?
This skill provides implementation, integration, and configuration guidance for Google Mobile Ads SDK interstitial ads in Android and iOS mobile applications. It first requires the ad placement and target file to be identified, then determines the application platform. The workflow proceeds through loading the ad, registering ad event callbacks, showing the ad, and verifying the implementation. It is explicitly not intended for rewarded interstitial ads.
It prompts the user to identify the target file for the ad and to clarify whether the project is Android or iOS when necessary. It points to the relevant platform guide at references/android-interstitial.md or references/ios-interstitial.md. It prescribes the sequence of loading the ad, registering ad event callbacks, showing the ad, and verifying the implementation; the supplied source does not include the guides' code or API details.
- An Android developer needs to add interstitial ads between content or at another natural transition point.
- An iOS developer wants a defined workflow for integrating Google Mobile Ads SDK interstitials.
- A mobile application team needs to confirm the target file and placement before implementation begins.
- A developer needs guidance for standard interstitial ads while excluding rewarded interstitials.
What are this skill's strengths and limitations?
- Clearly focused on Google Mobile Ads SDK interstitials for Android and iOS.
- Includes an ad-placement checkpoint and an ordered implementation workflow.
- The repository uses the Apache-2.0 license, permitting copying, modification, and distribution.
- The supplied source does not include the Android or iOS guide contents or code examples.
- No test suite or verified platform versions are evidenced in the supplied source.
- Rewarded interstitial ads are out of scope.
- The repository is under active development.
How do you install this skill?
Run npx skills add google/skills in a command-line environment and select this skill during installation. The source says individual skills can be selected from the repository, but it does not specify the exact installed folder.
How do you use this skill?
After installing the skill in an Agent Skills-compatible client, submit a request such as “Set up Google Mobile Ads SDK interstitial ads in my Android app.” Provide the platform and target file if they are not obvious. Follow the applicable Android or iOS guide in this order: load the ad, register event callbacks, show the ad, and verify the implementation.
