You may need to use specific ads during integration and/or troubleshooting iterations. For that you can use a debugging proxy app, such as Charles or Proxyman. You will then be able to map the Teads ad response in order to serve the creative of your choice.

Steps to achieve it

  • Download Charles or Proxyman or the debugging proxy app of your preference
  • Ensure to set up your computer, your app project and your testing device according to the docs that your debugging proxy app provides, for instance Charles docs, Proxyman docs
  • Use the "map local" feature from your debugging proxy app in order to map the Teads ad response to a local one, according to the instructions below
