Chartboost NOT working any longer

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

But I think the main problem was not to serve the ads but to have the installs correctly tracked.

#62

I suggested to Chartboost last week to put up a notice about this issue since it affects all Corona users publishing for iOS with build 2169 or later. It’s quite serious as it will look like everything is OK, but installs will not register since the device’s IFA is not available.

Today Chartboost updated their documentation with a notice. Read the update at the top.

https://github.com/ChartBoost/corona-sdk

This only affects iOS. Android will still work when compiling with the latest versions of Corona SDK.

If you intend to use the Github version of the Chartboost plugin for iOS you must build with Corona version 2014.2162 or earlier.

Hey Gremlin, 

Any update on this?

#64

Yep. We are working on getting this out asap.

The iOS version is finished, and the Android version isn’t far behind.

Just trying to get through the red tape.

#65

Hi Gremlin,

Will this work with the starter edition of Corona? Please say yes!! :slight_smile:

#66

Thanks a lot @ingemar for this info. I also noticed that you said this only affect ios but on android I am missing the top banner and close button when using Chartboost More apps? Is this just me or something there changed to on 5/16?

Cheers.

As far as I know (right now) it should yeah.

Should have more info (and hopefully a release) by the end of this coming week. I apologise for the delay, just have some things to sort out before we can get it out of the door.

We are using the official Chartboost native SDK, so this will get rid of the IDFA problems, and also offer a more streamlined Lua api.

Appreciate you patience. This is definitely being released though, so don’t worry :slight_smile:

Edit: this plugin is only available for Corona basic and up subscriptions

#68

Gremlin! That’s a great news! By the way, do you have a link to your current ios plugin?

Hey Mo. It isn’t available or released yet. Sorry if my previous message was confusing in any way.

Basically we are hoping to get this out/released by the end of the coming week. Red tape stuff :wink:

Cool!  NP, Thank you.

Hello dave, 
I know we have already been in contact but I came across your post and I was thinking that it might be interesting to give a little bit more insights about AdBuddiz since some other developers following this thread might not know who we are. 

We specialize in displaying full screen premium ads in mobile apps and specifically games. 
The company has been built by former game studio employees so we are all game lovers and we were tired of ads that look awful and that take so much time to integrate. Therefore, our goal has been to create a clean-cut solution that really respects the users and is non intrusive with beautiful graphics. And of course, we built a team whose goal is to generate the highest revenues for our publishers.

The solution is available on both android and iOS (we have one team dedicated to each platform so that we can maximize the revenues of both). And obviously, we now have a Corona plugin  :slight_smile:

Our team is more than ready to answer any questions that any of you may have.  

#72

Hi Gremlin. Any update on the Chartboost plugin?

#73

Hey guys, sorry for the delay on this, it was out of our control.

We will be releasing the chartboost plugin at the end of this week, or the beginning of next week at latest.

The iOS version is done, the red tape has been cut, and we are ready to rock and roll :slight_smile:

#74

Just went to see that you made it available to Unlimited Apps.  So I went ahead and bought it.  Thank you!

#75

Thank you for your support!

#76

I just want to be clear on one thing Gremlin.  Is this an official plugin from Chartboost (like do you work for them) or is more of an unofficial plugin?  Just curious.  Thanks for the work on this. 

#77

We don’t work for Chartboost, but they have given us their approval of the plugin and will be endorsing it on their website, if that gives you more assurance :wink:

We are using Chartboost’s official native SDK’s in our plugins also.

#78

This is great news.  Their current plugin has been open source and has suffered from lack of development on it.  

I happily await the new plugin. 

#79

@Gremlin 
Any updates?
Eagerly awaiting Chartboost plugin! 
No pressure though  :smiley:

#80

Yep. We are all finished with the iOS version. Just waiting for it to hit Corona’s servers and we will launch. 

We are hoping that this will happen today.

Cheers
