Modified: 2015-10-13
SDK Version: 2.7.9

Getting Started with Appsfire

The Appsfire iOS SDK is the cornerstone of the Appsfire network.

It provides the functionalities for monetizing your mobile application: it facilitates inserting native mobile ads into you iOS application using native iOS APIs. You can choose one of our ad units (Sushi, Uramaki and Sashimi), or create a new custom ad format (based on the Sashimi Ad Unit). Be sure to read our full documentation.

It also helps you engage with your users by sending push and in-app notifications.
