I use Chartboost in my Android app. I have enabled the hasUserConsent variable. However, my app does not display ads. Repost Page on Chartboost do not coincide with my app installs on the Google Play Developer Console
The same project, the iOS platform still works normally
Please view image attach file
This is my code:
main.lua
local chartboost = require( "plugin.chartboost" ) -- Chartboost listener function local function adListener( event ) if ( event.phase == "init" ) then -- Successful initialization chartboost.load( "interstitial" ) elseif ( event.phase == "loaded" ) then if ( event.type == "interstitial" ) then chartboost.show( "interstitial" ) end end end -- Initialize the Chartboost plugin chartboost.init( adListener, {hasUserConsent = true, appId="5b4c0151a9a7760c2fe76a2c", appSig="8a1e0a83d42dd1ec1a7e96476aecb8630a91e334" } ) local widget = require( "widget" ) -- Function to handle button events local function handleButtonEvent( event ) if ( "ended" == event.phase ) then chartboost.show( "interstitial" ) print( "Button was pressed and released" ) end end -- Create the widget local button1 = widget.newButton( { left = 100, top = 200, id = "button1", label = "Show ads", onEvent = handleButtonEvent } )
build.settings
settings = { android = { usesPermissions = { "android.permission.INTERNET", "android.permission.INTERNET", "android.permission.ACCESS\_NETWORK\_STATE", "android.permission.WRITE\_EXTERNAL\_STORAGE", "android.permission.ACCESS\_WIFI\_STATE", "android.permission.READ\_PHONE\_STATE" , }, }, plugins = { ["plugin.chartboost"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }, }, excludeFiles = { all = { "Icon.png", "Icon-\*dpi.png", "Images.xcassets", }, android = { "LaunchScreen.storyboardc", }, }, }

I was disappointed because there was no support from Corona for this question
This is a question I had hoped a community developer who uses Chartboost on a daily basis would have some advice for you. While our developer has a test account, we don’t run production ads from Chartboost anywhere.
Next, you are not printing out any data in your adListener function. You can’t know what’s going on with your ads if you don’t print the event table and tether your device to your computer and monitor the device’s console log.
I would require the JSON library and then at the very top of adListener print the table:
local chartboost = require( "plugin.chartboost" ) local json = require( "json" ) -- Chartboost listener function local function adListener( event ) print( json.prettify( event ) ) if ( event.phase == "init" ) then -- Successful initialization chartboost.load( "interstitial" ) elseif ( event.phase == "loaded" ) then if ( event.type == "interstitial" ) then chartboost.show( "interstitial" ) end end end
You might want to make sure all your ID’s and such are correct too and that you’re not in test mode. I don’t know if Chartboost uses different ID’s for iOS and Android, but your code sample above doesn’t show any compensation for that if that’s a Chartboost requirement. Most Ad providers require different App ID’s for different platforms.
When you’re able to capture the console log from a device with the prints, post what’s being logged back here and we can see why you’re not getting ads.

Hi Rob (and Trung);
I’m sorry that I am late to this thread.
I am busy doing an app update today and I am discovering the reason that Trung has the Chartboost+hasUserConsent problem.
Our apps use Chartboost on 3 platforms: Apple, Google Play and Amazon.
This is what I have found:
a ) On Apple devices, you can pass in the new “hasUserConsent” parameter when you init the plugin. Everything seems fine and ads display as anticipated.
b ) On Amazon and Google Android builds, the chartboost.init call fails completely when you include a “hasUserConsent” parameter in the init. This is the error printed out in the console:
V/Corona (10673): Loading via reflection: plugin.chartboost.LuaLoader
I/Corona (10673): ERROR: chartboost.init(listener, options), Invalid option ‘hasUserConsent’
Of course I am not altering my init code at all between platforms. It is:
chartBoost.init(adMgr.chartBoostListener, {appId = adMgr.cbID, appSig = adMgr.cbSig, hasUserConsent = true})
And my build.settings file includes the plugin normally:
[“plugin.chartboost”] =
{
publisherId = “com.coronalabs”,
supportedPlatforms = { [“android-kindle”] = true, android=true, iphone=true }
},
I am building with Corona version 3335.
The steps-to-reproduce should be really simple.
Build a simple APK and include the Chartboost plugin.
Add a line of code (and a bare bones listener) to init the plugin and you should see the resulting ERROR message.
And, of course, if it won’t “init”, it won’t load or show ads.

I’ll share this with Engineering.

Thanks Rob.

The same error but very long time I did not receive any support
Another bug from Chartboost. When your application has Unity Ads & Chartboost => Unity Ads will not show
Hey there, guys!
Looks like there was an internal API naming bug in one of the latest updates, which was slipping from us for quite some time.
Thanks to your feedbacks, updated android version was reuploaded. Make sure to use at least 3313 Corona Simulator build, though.
Thanks for fixing this.
