Amazon Ads Plugin Launched!

Amazon is currently doing a promotion for Amazon Ads interstitials. All interstitial impressions served in August and September for Android apps will have a guaranteed $6 cpm. It would be great to have this out before then so we can take advantage of it! :smiley:

Amazon is currently doing a promotion for Amazon Ads interstitials.

Yeah, Iā€™m about to publish to Amazon, and this would be a great opportunity to take advantage of.

@deleurapps
For the reason above, it would be great if the new version could be available soonĀ  ;).

When I try to build for iOS with the amazon ads plugin I get this error: Ā 

Runtime error /Users/me/Builds/MyGame.app/.build/libtemplate/Builder.lua:310: \<error\>{"status":256,"message":"ld: library not found for -llibgremlin\_Licensing\nclang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)"}\</error\> stack traceback: [C]: ? [C]: in function 'assert' /Users/me/Builds/MyGame.app/.build/libtemplate/Builder.lua:310: in function 'checkError' /Users/me/Builds/MyGame.app/.build/libtemplate/Builder.lua:333: in function 'build' ?: in function 'buildExe' ?: in function \<?:624\>

It seems to be saying that it canā€™t find the library that checks you have a legit license from Gremlin.

#84

There seems to have been a small mistake in the plugins metadata file. I have pushed up the required change. (if that was the only issue).

The change should be live within ~1.5 hours. Can you build again then and let us know how you get on?

Thanks

#85

Iā€™m finished for today I think, but Iā€™ll check it first thing for you.

#86

Weā€™re also looking to publish to Amazon ASAP (in fact weā€™ve already published but are ready to update) so that we can make the most of this promotion. Ā 

Do we have any more word on when interstitials will be ready?

#87

Still getting an error, which is slightly different:

/Users/me/Builds/MyGame.app/.build/libtemplate/Builder.lua:310: \<error\>{"status":256,"message":"ld: library not found for -lAmazonAd\nclang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)"}\</error\> stack traceback: [C]: ? [C]: in function 'assert' /Users/me/Builds/MyGame.app/.build/libtemplate/Builder.lua:310: in function 'checkError' /Users/me/Builds/MyGame.app/.build/libtemplate/Builder.lua:333: in function 'build' ?: in function 'buildExe' ?: in function \<?:624\>
#88

Is this for an iOS device build or Xcode simulator build?

#89

How Does this amazon plugin work?

Do I have to register in Amazon Ā ?

#90

We are trying to get hold of Deleur apps for you guys. I havenā€™t heard from him in a week or so.

#91

Hey guys, sorry about not replying earlier I was out of the city.

I just saw the promotion and it looks great so Iā€™ll try to get the interstitials out ASAP.

Thanks for your patience.

#92

Sorry for the build error, this seems to be just a problem with the format of the plugin files I uploaded. We are working hard to correct that ASAP

#93

I have pushed up the change. All should be good within ~1.5 hours or so.

Thanks

#94

Did you take the plugin down from your store? Say it ainā€™t so :frowning:
Iā€™m loving the chartboost plugin and was looking forward to adding amazon ads as well.

#95

Hey Jorge, just maintenance, donā€™t worry.

#96

The maintenance work on the amazon adā€™s plugin has completed, the plugin is available for sale from our store again.

Thanks for your patience.Ā 

#97

@deleurapps

Are you any closer to having the interstitials will working yet? Weā€™ve just submitted to Apple and want to submit our Amazon build as well, but it doesnā€™t make sense for us to do this until we can take advantage of their $6 CPM promo.

Thanks

#98

Also, does this plugin work for iOS apps? It looks like Amazon just added support for iOS apps if Iā€™m not mistaken. Will this plugging support that?

Thanks.

#99

Hello everyone!

The current plugin has been updated to support interstitial ads, and will be out soon (just needs to be uploaded to the servers, etc.)

I am also beginning to work on an iOS version that was announced my Amazon today.

#100

Thatā€™s great to hear. Has the documentation and sample code atĀ http://gremlininteractive.com/corona-plugins-documentation/amazon-ads-plugin-documentation/ been update as well, just so we know how it should work? Ā 

Also great to hear about the iOS support, do you have any kind of timeframe that you expect to have it done by?
