Ads.show giving java.lang.nullpointerexception

Solar2D Monetization (in-app purchases, ads, etc.)
#1

For the past few days I’ve been using admin banner ads without any problem. All of a sudden though on android devices it’s been giving a java.lang.nullpointerexception error. After debugging it ONLY happens when the line of code ads.show(“banner”, {x=0, y=0}) is written. Without the line the app works perfectly fine. However when it is there the app gives a black screen and says java.lang.nullpointerexception on startup

Same here, I see this happen on Android but not on iOS.

In my case, it seems to happen when I do an ads.hide(), call an overlay, then hide the overlay, then do an ads.show() back on the original scene.

Okay never mind, in my case it happens when I call an ads.show() without any arguments passed… Putting in the “banner” and the x-y coordinates fixed it.
