How to Publish from Studio

  1. In Studio, open the project you want to publish and click Publish in the top right corner. 
    Studio starts checking the project output quality based on the file size limits and, if necessary, compresses the video assets to meet the limit.
  2. If needed, do any of the following:
    1. To preview the video output on desktop, click Preview. 
    2. To preview the video output on your device, click Connect.
    3. To view the asset file size information, click View Details.
    4. If the file size exceeds the limit or the output quality is below your expectations, make the appropriate changes to your assets. For example, compress the image assets or reduce the number of video assets in the project, and try again. See also File Preparation, if needed.
  3. In the Export for list, select ironSource.
  4. If you want to rename your project file, enter a new Project Name without using any special characters.
  5. Click Generate File.

Studio generates the HTML5 file and automatically saves it to your Downloads directory, from which you can load the file to your device for testing.

Congratulations! You have now successfully created and exported your project. Great work!

Tip: To access your downloaded output file later without going through the publishing process again, thus saving your allowed outputs, just click Retrieve My File.

ironSource QA and File Upload

Use the ironSource Web Test Tool to test your playable ad’s compatibility with the ironSource network. 

  1. Enter the HTTPS://URL of your DAPI ad (.html file) and click TEST AD
  2. The ad should pass all tests listed on the pre-flight checklist at the bottom
  3. Rotate the device to ensure different ad orientations work correctly
  4. Use the Tablet/Phone icon switch to ensure that the ad runs on 4:3 screen ratio correctly 

After testing on the web, test on the iOS/Android testing apps (click on these links on your mobile device):

After successfully passing QA on the test apps, send your unit to Quailcheck for a final QA pass.
