# Adapter Stabilizer

## Introduction

MAX SDK includes adapters for multiple ad networks, and they are updated frequently. Keeping adapters on the latest stable versions helps maintain performance and reliability.

The Adapter Stabilizer enforces the QA-approved adapter version guidelines to reduce QA rejections and flag potentially outdated adapters. Stable adapter versions are maintained by the Lion Studios QA team.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Adapter Stabilizer now lives inside **Settings Manager → MAX**. The old `LionStudios → Adapter Stabilizer` menu item has been removed.
{% endhint %}

## Usage

### Automatic

* After installation, a pop-up will appear if any outdated adapters are detected. Click Review & Update to open the MAX settings tab with the Adapter Stabilizer section expanded.

### Manual

1. Go to `LionStudios` → `Settings Manager` and open the `MAX` tab.
2. Check the adapter status:

   * The header shows either `All adapters up to date` or `N adapter update(s) available`
   * The table lists all required adapters, including their installed version, verified stable version for `Android` and `iOS`, and current `Status`
   * To install or update all adapters at once, click `Install and Update Adapters to Verified Stable Versions`
   * After the initial installation, the button changes to `Update Adapters to Verified Stable Versions`

#### Color Coding (Adapter Stabilizer Section)

The Status pill and the installed version cells use the same colors.

* <mark style="color:green;">Green(Stable)</mark>:  QA stable version is installed.
* <mark style="color:yellow;">Yellow(Update available)</mark>: Installed version is below the QA stable version. Click the install/update button.
* <mark style="color:blue;">Blue(Newer than stable)</mark> : Installed version is newer than the QA stable version. This is fine, the button will never downgrade it.
* <mark style="color:red;">Red(Broken Version)</mark>: Installed version is on the known-broken list - update immediately.
* <mark style="color:$info;">Grey(Not Installed)</mark>: Adapter is not installed. Click the install/update button.
