Arghhh… I’m not seeing banner ads either now on my Android devices, the rewarded video played OK … Has something changed?
banners are still showing on my Apple devices
Yazan,
I just started using Appodeal, so my knowledge and experience is very limited…
But have you checked on your appodeal dashboard, your android app setup - under AdNetworkMonitor Tab and see that you have ‘Banners’ selected?
THANK YOU. So I had banner ads turned on but for some reason, all the ad platforms in the banner section were togggled off. I just toggled them on and I got the banner ads.
GENIUS ! If your “knowledge and experience is very limited” then I dread to think what mine is.
The switches visually appeared to be ON but as they are labelled the wrong way round (ON/OFF) I turned them all OFF, that didn’t work but when I turned them back ON again the banners returned. So great “spot” by you.
I think they must have done something with the site as they were working before.
Thanks
You need to put some print statements in your adListener function to dump the contents of the event table passed to that adListener. It will show you if your getting errors or any reason why you’re not getting ads.
Without this information, all anyone can do is guess as to the problem.

Post your init code, plugin configuration and the show ad line would also help. I build the app I am currently coding a couple times a day. I have seen no issues with ads today or yesterday.

My init looks like this though:
--appodeal init if isAdSupported == true then appodeal.init(appodealListener, { appKey = os\_Key, --disableWriteExternalPermissionCheck=true, locationTracking = false, supportedAdTypes = { "banner","rewardedVideo" }, --bannerAnimation = true, testMode = false}) end
Where it lists “supportedAdTypes”
Does that make a difference?
No, it doesn’t make a difference, banner ads are still not appearing
Oh OK.
I know most of the issues I had were typo’s like "phase = " rather than “event.phase=” and stupid stuff like that but I am 70 so I can get away with it.
do you get a true with appodeal.isLoaded( “banner” )
Otherwise, sorry I couldn’t help.
No, I get a false. Even if I manually call appodeal.load(“banner”), still false
But the other ad types show true?
Yeah interstitials and rewarded videos show up perfectly
Odd. Have you re checked your BundleID and key for your app at appodeal?
Try this. Remove the showbanner from the home page and add it to the init:
local function listener( event ) if ( event.phase == "init" ) then -- Successful initialization print("Init Successful") appodeal.show( "banner" ) end endIt may be “frowned upon?” but as I only have the one scene I have put:
local isAdSupported = true --FWD declaration local appodeal if isAdSupported then appodeal = require( "plugin.appodeal" ) end
at the top of the scene and then the init() at the beginning of “scene:create” like so:
function scene:create( event ) operatingSystem = system.getInfo( "platform" ) local os\_Key if operatingSystem == "android" then os\_Key = "myAndroidKey" else os\_Key = "myAppleKey" end --print("os= "..operatingSystem.." key= "..os\_Key) --appodeal init if isAdSupported == true then appodeal.init(appodealListener, { appKey = os\_Key, --disableWriteExternalPermissionCheck=true, locationTracking = false, supportedAdTypes = { "banner","rewardedVideo" }, --bannerAnimation = true, testMode = false}) end
This checks for which OS it’s on and chooses the correct key.
I can now appodeal.hide and show 'til my hearts content.
I don’t have anything in “main” and my build.settings plugins look the same as yours.
Still doesn’t work
Could this have anything to do with no banner ads being available in my location?
I doubt it. I have not seen anything under 0% fill rate in any country. Here is the bottom of my list for banners:
Add the test mode to the init like this and see if you get the test ads:
appodeal.init( listener, { appKey = “MY APP KEY”, testMode = true })
Look at the logs and see if you see any errors. If this doesn’t work I would suggest starting a chat with Appodeal it might something in your account.
do you have more than one device for testing… Is it the same on all?
