Just curious, what seems to be the most used by Solar2d devs, between AdMob and Appodeal? I am still having issues with appodeal, and I may just use Admob going forward; but am curious if anyone has any input about Admob or has any issues with Admob.
Thanks
Based on my experience Admob performs much much better than Appodeal’s networks so I prefer using just Admob.
But in countries that are not supported by Admob the Appodeal (or other similar networks) is a solution.
I gave up on Appodeal a while back. I use mostly Admob with meditation, and it works great. I still have one app on Iron Source because I am scared of losing revenue on that app.
I’ve been using AppLovinMAX and Admob. MAX has been giving me higher eCPM, but the ads seem to be longer/more annoying than Admob’s, so I’m kind of threading the needle between them.
Thanks to all 3 of you for your input - very helpful!
@CaseyFields is there a list of countries that are not supported by AdMob
I don’t know about a list but Russia is a big market that Admob does not support this period.
Thanks Casey!
On a side issue maybe someone can shed light on this …
I submit my game to Apple Connect with Transporter fine as long as I only have
[‘plugin.appodeal.base’] = { publisherId = ‘com.coronalabs’ },
in the build.settings plugin section
BUT, if I have any or all of these are there, Transporter refuses to upload the file
and shows multiple issues
[“plugin.appodeal.Unity”] = { publisherId = “com.coronalabs”},
[“plugin.appodeal.IronSource”] = { publisherId = “com.coronalabs”},
[“plugin.appodeal.Chartboost”] = { publisherId = “com.coronalabs”},
[‘plugin.appodeal.AppLovin’] = { publisherId = “com.coronalabs” },
[‘plugin.appodeal.FacebookAudience’] = { publisherId = “com.coronalabs” },
In the past, I think I had all those 5 I just listed and several others like
[‘plugin.appodeal.Smaato’] = { publisherId = ‘com.coronalabs’ },
[‘plugin.appodeal.StartApp’] = { publisherId = ‘com.coronalabs’ },
[‘plugin.appodeal.Yandex’] = { publisherId = ‘com.coronalabs’ },
and never had any upload issue.
Any insight as to why any or all of the first five I noted above cause the app to not be accepted via Transporter to apple connect?
So it is not my code, it has to do with these other plugins - which I think I need, because once I just send the app with plugin.appodeal.base during testing it never seems to find an ad, I think because it needs more then just plugin.appodeal.base. to work … correct?
Thanks

Casey,
Thanks for sharing. It was successful transport to apple connect.
Thanks
