Integrate SDK7
Update your plist with SKAdNetwork identifiers
ironSource SDK7 includes SKAdNetwork support. Update your app’s info.plist with the network IDs of all of the ad networks you work with to allow ads to appear in your app.
See Apple’s SKAdNetwork documentation to learn more.
Use the SKAdNetwork IDs Manager to get an updated list of all your ironSource mediated network IDs.
Enable SKAdNetwork attribution in your application
Update your app code to report Apple with registerAppForAdNetworkAttribution or updateConversionValue(_:)
You can read more in Apple’s documentation, under the section called ‘The advertised app’s responsibilities are to:’.
Universal SKAN Reporting

Request Tracking Authorization
With iOS 14, Apple introduced a new mechanism for privacy and ad tracking – the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt.
If you want to request user authorization to access app-related data, make sure to include the NSUserTrackingUsageDescription key in your app’s Information Property List (info.plist).
You can update the <string> </string> section with your personal message to be displayed for your users as part of the ATT prompt.
<key>NSUserTrackingUsageDescription</key>
<string>Your Personalized Message here </string>
