Any updates on this topic? Has anyone made or know of an IDFA plugin?

Any help is much appreciated!

Yes, Corona made a plugin recently to expose these - its called plugin.advertisingId

Hi @Mediaflex,

Just FYI, here’s a link to the docs on the plugin that @rune7 is referring to:

Take care,

Does this work for Android as well and return the Android Advertising Id?

Hi @poon,

I haven’t confirmed with engineering, but this plugin is for both iOS and Android, so I assume it returns the advertising ID for both.

Hi Brent,

Does this means that the “old” Chartboost (not the plugin from Gremlin/ingemar) works now on ios? (ie: installs are recorded)?

Thanks a lot.

Another quick question: how do I use it? Just add it to the builds file and then use the old Chartboost (not the plugin)? I am having issue using the new plugin but not sure if it is me or something not compatible with the Ragdogstudios ads lib. I will soon work on it more but I need to beat Halloween rush (probably too late :slight_smile: So I was hoping I can this IDFA plugin + the old Chartboost until I found more about the new Chartboost plugin issue with my code. Thanks Mo

Hi Mo,

I’m not familiar with the “old” Chartboost library, but I believe it’s no longer supported, so unless they open-sourced it and somebody has tweaked it to work, I can’t vouch for its functionality. Sorry about that…

Take care,

Brent

Thanks Brent. I was hoping that the new IDFA plugin will help on that. I am sure ingemar new plugin is the way to go. I am working with ragdogstudios to figure why i have an issue with it (I am sure on it is on my side) If I found something I will share. 

Thanks again Brent!
