Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the iOS SDK file size so large? Will it make my application file large too?

The Millennial Media iOS SDK is a FAT library that combines object files compiled for the simulator (i386) and device (armv6 and armv7). The SDK file is approximately 8 MB in size but this does not increase your final application size by 8 MB. The object files are built against the SDK, not with it, when you compile and your final application for release into the App Store. The memory footprint of the final SDK should be KB in size, not MB.

What is an APID?

An APID is a placement id number, given to you by Millennial Media. This unique identifier that tells us which application is calling for ads. Implementing the APID is required and helps us keep track of your revenue and advertising statistics that you can view in the mmDev portal.
