[agramonte]

I created two videos that might help:

https://youtu.be/HeuBuTdvbRU - Show an interstitial.

Two more videos that finally answer the question you asked:

https://youtu.be/FBAjdUnmhwE - Using placements to show either static or video interstitial.

https://youtu.be/ektKbl479hI - Using placements to show daily reward and more frequent rewards.

Wow!! thx!! You are a genius: D

It always shows for me and I at most I only have 3 plugin on the list. But I think there is limit of what they will show if they can’t find the app on the store.

Some questions:

1. What country are you in?

2. Have you tried with debug mode? It should always show an ad then. If not then you have a problem with your code.

3. Did you sync your admob account? Most of the fill comes from admob.

4. Did you add your Facebook placement keys although I would wait for the last minute for this since Facebook will block you if they see traffic coming from an app that wasn’t downloaded from Google Play.

5. Did you go into the control panel and make sure you turn on backfill and any other banner provider you included under the banner tab?

Let me know how it goes.

Hi, 

1 - Spain

2- In debug mode VIDEO NOT WORKS, Banner… well… only one or two times, after not works…

3- Yes

4- Not for the moment

5- Yes…

I suspect it has to do with the permissions of the application, the code:

android = { usesPermissions = { "android.permission.INTERNET", -- "android.permission.ACCESS\_NETWORK\_STATE" { name = "android.permission.WRITE\_EXTERNAL\_STORAGE", maxSdkVersion=18}, --"android.permission.GET\_ACCOUNTS" --"android.permission.ACCESS\_COARSE\_LOCATION" --"android.permission.ACCESS\_FINE\_LOCATION" --"android.permission.ACCESS\_WIFI\_STATE" }, },

In guide, they say that we need INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE but if I have the 3 I have error :

00:34:18.467 ERROR: validate-settings: problem loading ...\Corona Projects\FriQuiz\build.settings: 00:34:18.522 ERROR: Runtime error 00:34:18.522 ?:0: attempt to call a nil value 00:34:18.522 stack traceback: 00:34:18.522 ?: in function 'require' 00:34:18.522 ...\Corona Projects\FriQuiz\main.lua:7: in main chunk

If I comment the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE the app is ok… I dont know… but nevermind because with this I have seen the banner works so… 

Some idea? In the APP of mobile (no simulator) when I open the app have the “error” … “missing … WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE” blablabla, but the app works… 

Thx!!

I would delete all those permissions. They are not needed. I am using the beta version of the plugin and I init appodeal like this:

appodeal.init( adProvider.adListener, { appKey=xxxxx, disableWriteExternalPermissionCheck=true, testMode=false, hasUserConsent=false } )

This is what my builds settings look like:

-- Appodeal ['plugin.appodeal.beta.base'] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs', supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true } }, ['plugin.appodeal.beta.FacebookAudience'] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs', supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true } }, ['plugin.appodeal.beta.AmazonAds'] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs', supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true } }, ['plugin.appodeal.beta.GoogleAdMob'] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs', supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true } }, ['plugin.appodeal.beta.AppLovin'] = { publisherId = 'com.coronalabs', supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true } }

And my user permissions most are not related to Appodeal:

usesPermissions = { "android.permission.INTERNET", "com.android.vending.BILLING", "com.android.vending.CHECK\_LICENSE", "com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND\_GET\_INSTALL\_REFERRER\_SERVICE" },

Hope this helps.

Hi, Thx!!

With your code I can show a banner if I put the code in init appodeal, but how can I show and hide banners in some sides of the app?

I have too a  appodeal.show( “video” ) but never show the video…

Thx!!

PD: Well, I close the app and reopen, and again not show banner… fuck, i dont know why, I install APP and the first time not problem, but reopen and not works… why!!

[agramonte]

to hide I just use:

 appodeal.hide( "banner" )

and to show again:

appodeal.show( "banner", { yAlign="bottom"} )

I have never used appodeal.show(“video”) and it is not documented anywhere I can find. Are you trying to show a video instead of a static interstitial? If that is the case the approach I have always used is:

appodeal.show( "interstitial" )

Then go into your Appodeal control panel -> under apps -> select your app -> click placement -> edit placement for default -> click on add settings -> interstitial type -> and select video ads. Save it and give it 20 minutes to test again.

If you want to have the ability to either show a static or a video. Go back to placement and create a new placement. Call it videoInter or staticInter and then again limit the type of interstitial. When you call this new placement call it this way:

appodeal.show( "interstitial", { placement="videoInter" } )

 or 

appodeal.show( "interstitial", { placement="staticInter" } )

There is only one other thing you should do: When you create other placement you should disable the type of ads that you are not using in those placements so that they don’t get auto-cached.

[jcarlosnunezperez]

Thx! Banner not works correctly, but nevermind, interstitial is working fine, so for me its ok.

BUT!! One thing more, when the interstitial is working, after 5 secs I can close, ok, but when i push the X for close… black window and other 5 secs for new X and close.

Last problem and i will so happy

thx!!

The same and I have other problem with adcolony ads

How to disable plugin.google.play.services

Hello, I decided to put the plugin(adcolony) in my game After starting the game on the phone, I found an error: *AppName* does not target the google play store, but includes google play services. This is adding unnecessary bloat to your app as Google Play Services depends on the google play store My build.settings: settings = { orientation = { -- Supported values for orientation: -- portrait, portraitUpsideDown, landscapeLeft, landscapeRight default = "landscapeRight", --supporte…

[renato.rolando]

This is a matter of plugins you use, if you use only that one you will not have the problem:

– Base
[‘plugin.appodeal.beta.base’] = { publisherId = ‘com.coronalabs’ },
[‘plugin.appodeal.beta.AdColony’] = { publisherId = ‘com.coronalabs’ },
[‘plugin.appodeal.beta.AppLovin’] = { publisherId = ‘com.coronalabs’ },
[‘plugin.appodeal.beta.InMobi’] = { publisherId = ‘com.coronalabs’ },
[‘plugin.appodeal.beta.Tapjoy’] = { publisherId = ‘com.coronalabs’ },
[‘plugin.appodeal.beta.Unity’] = { publisherId = ‘com.coronalabs’ },
[‘plugin.appodeal.beta.Vungle’] = { publisherId = ‘com.coronalabs’ },

I found this suggestion on this discussion.

however each in some message recommends removing one or the other of these plugins.

My impression is that the advertising vendors are drastically reduced and that Appodeal no longer makes much sense; in the end AdMob reigns supreme. Facebook is not supported by Appodeal. The Amazon platform remains outside.

I have no idea of the Iphone world.

I never used direct AdColony. But you message is because you have adMob plugin without use also google play services.

[agramonte]

Facebook is supported by Appodeal. I use it every day. I receive about a 14% bump in revenue over what Admob gives me (I use Admob mediation).

One of my apps for example this month using Admob mediation, I am getting an overall eCPM of about $0.99. The same app on Admob is getting an overall eCPM of $1.14.

[agramonte]

The solar2d Admob android plugin is not only ancient but does not provide a way to use multiple adunit per type or provide mediation. Considering the above your eCPM from Admob will be considerably lower than appodeal or any other mediation provider.

[renato.rolando]

Thank you Agramonte,

I found on ‘mediation settings’ of Appodeal the Facebook “has to be connected manually”, and I believed was not available.
I will study it.
