Thanks

I have been trying various providers but that specific issue was with revmob. Emailed them 2 days ago but haven’t had a reply. [import]uid: 204816 topic_id: 35864 reply_id: 144944[/import]

Hi there.

It may be a temporary outage of Android campaigns. But if you are using testing mode (for dev environment only), it must appear an ad, even in Android devices. Be aware the testing mode changed in the newest versions of the RevMob Corona SDK.

RevMob.setTestingMode(RevMob.TEST_WITH_ADS);

I am using the very latest code from REVMob i signed up and then downloaded and added the code and so far i am not impressed…

what do you mean temporary outage of Android campaigns… why would this happen? Not enough ad sponsors or something?

How long do temporary outage of Android campaigns seem to last?

It appears to be an networking issue in the Corona SDK. Builds 1043-1051 has some problem/change that is incompatible with RevMob. After 1051 the RevMob SDK works. I suggest you to upgrade it.

@chrisevans1001 have you ever heard back from RevMob?

Larry [import]uid: 11860 topic_id: 35864 reply_id: 145113[/import]

Yes they sent me an email yesterday asking for a few details. Just got in so am going to email them in the morning and will post back the results. [import]uid: 204816 topic_id: 35864 reply_id: 145114[/import]

@doubleslashdesign: We have many reasons to not delivery an Ad. It depends on ad campaigns, device, country etc etc. Sorry for the late response.

I forgot to post back! Paulo is kindly replying to my issues. I resolved the initial problem but finding issues with, I believe, network 2.0 on builds 1040 ++. [import]uid: 204816 topic_id: 35864 reply_id: 145833[/import]

I have the same problem. i.e

I integrated revmob sdk in my app. Revmob test mode ads are working fine in the required placements by using

 

   RevMob.setTestingMode(RevMob.TEST_WITH_ADS)

 

My app in appstore(Live). I downloaded the app. but i didn’t see any revmob ads. i disable the testmode ads before uploading the app store.

I disable the testmode ads, and run in my xcode simulator, ads are coming now. But in the same live version, ads are getting. 

 

I am using Corona build : 2013.1137

 

what could be the reasion for it? 

I’d recommend plugging your device into your desktop. Start Xcode and fire up the Organizer (Shift-Command-2).

Under your device select Console, then start your Live app and see what the logs are saying.

That should give you a clue…

hi @Ingemar,

I am getting this below log…

and i am using new sdk 5.3.1 . 

what could be the reasion for it? 

I also use 5.3.1

I think you’ll have to contact RevMob about this and attach the log.

I’ve never seen that error before, but it’s definitely a problem on your device.

What about the RevMob dashboard? Are you seeing any impressions/installs?

Revmob revenue dashboard shows impressions when i test in xcode simulator or Revmob TestingMode enabled But not live version app.

Is your iPad by any chance using iOS 5.x?

I’m starting to suspect that it has something to do with the UDID or IDFA not being returned in a way that RevMob understands.

UDID is deprecated (Apple will reject any new apps trying to use it) and I think the latest version of RevMob uses IDFA to identify the device. iOS5 doesn’t support IDFA, so maybe that’s where the problem is…

In any case I’d suggest contacting RevMob directly as they can give you more detailed help in this matter…

By the way…

What’s the name of your app? I can try to install it on my test devices and see if I get ads or not…

My App Name : 3 Pictures: Guess the Word

And Link : https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/3-pictures-guess-the-word/id638119562?ls=1&mt=8

please check…

I’ve tested on an iPad mini running 6.1.3 and an iPod Touch 3G running 5.1.1.

Both report the same problem as in your log “[RevMob] WARNING: device not identified, no registration or ad unit will work”

I think it’s best to contact RevMob and give them all the details about your development setup and SDK versions etc.
