Chartboost listener never gets called?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
1

I’m trying to setup chartboost and I noticed no matter what I do the listener never gets called. I’m using the following code 

 

chartboost.init({ appID = selectedAdCodes.inters["chartboost"].appID, appSignature = selectedAdCodes.inters["chartboost"].appSignature, listener = function(event) -- Print the events key/pair values print("@#$@#$#@$@#chartboost@#!@#@!#!@") end })

That print never gets called no matter what I do. Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Here are the docs for chartboost init (not sure why they aren’t part of corona docs?)

Hi @dmglakewood,

This plugin has not been updated/maintained in quite some time, although we are looking into bringing Chartboost back so that Corona users can utilize it. Considering this, I would not recommend that you take much more time implementing this version of it.

I’m working on a new version of the plugin, and I’m in talks with CoronaLabs (Roj) about the distribution of it.

Having said that, the older version on Corona’s server should work. I just tested with the Chartboost Sample app, and it was calling the listener without any issues. Tested on iOS 9.2 with Corona build 2016.2813.

Well it turns out it does send events but it doesn’t send an init event. For my other ad companies I would wait for the init ad event call before caching it.

That’s true. The Chartboost SDK (version 5 and older), does not send an init event.
However version 6 does. I’m working on a Corona plugin for the new SDK and I’ll announce it on the “Chartboost 3rd party” forum thread when it’s available.
