corona ads error on android

rob · September 13, 2016, 7:01pm

First the version of Java has nothing to do with this. We use Java’s tools to sign the apps and create keystores. Enterprise users for Android will depend more on Java since they are writing native code.e

The purpose of supportedPlatforms is to **limit** where the plugin loads. Without it, the system will try to load the plugin for every platform you build for. But you may only want to load a plugin for Android and not iOS. A great example of this is our “Social” plugin. Back in the day of iOS 6 and earlier, if you wanted to share to Facebook or Twitter you would build a panel and insert buttons in for each social network you wanted to support. Apple has superseded that with their new sharing system UIActivityViewController. This is the window that pops up when you tap the square icon with an arrow coming from the top. We have a plugin for this called the activity plugin. However on Android, you want to still use the social plugin because it’s the current Android way of sharing.

Now you want to include “activity” for iOS and “social” for Android. But “social” is available for both. You could just include it, but it would add extra size to your app. So you can use supportedPlatforms to exclude social for iOS while keeping it for Android.

As a rule if we don’t support a platform, we include a “stub” plugin that has all of the API’s but they just output “This plugin is not available for this platform”. Without the stub, your program would error.

Rob so after that my app starts it works for like a 2 seconds and it crashes what might be a reason?

rob · September 13, 2016, 7:36pm

What error are you getting?

Is this in the simulator or on a device?

What messages are in the console log?

davitzuroshvili · September 13, 2016, 7:40pm

On a device and i get no error messege it just Crashes 2 seconds from the lanch so you launch it and after 2 seconds it crashes

Have you looked in the device’s console log? If you need help with that please read:

I moved this to the Corona Ads forum. Let me see if I can get an engineer to look deeper into this.

Thanks

Hello,

I was able to build and run the Corona Ads sample project successfully with the build.settings you provided [0on Android ICS (4.0) and above]. Could you let me know the your testing device’s version?

davitzuroshvili · September 15, 2016, 6:14pm

android version is 4.2.2 but it also crashes on other devices too i have also tested that on testobject.com on real physical devices you can go ahead and do that too

lakshmana · September 16, 2016, 11:30am

Hello,

We have received the application file and observed that code related to google play service plugin is missing there. Please send us the building log (the log you see in corona simulator console) and build.settings file you are using for building the app.

So far I haven’t been able to reproduce this issue. Just to make sure there is no weirdness around plugin permissions, I created a new developer account, logged into Simulator with the new account credentials, used your build.settings to build the Corona Ads Sample app. The build was successful and I am able to run the sample app on Android ICS and above.

One of my colleagues had forwarded the APK you had sent. We extracted the APK and found out that the google-play-services library is not included in the APK - which corresponds with the crash log you provided.

Could you try the following steps:

Open Corona Simulator
Logout [Corona Simulator -> Preferences -> De-authorize and Quit]
Quit Corona Simulator
Open Corona Simulator and Login
Build Corona Ads Sample project

Hope this helps.

davitzuroshvili · September 21, 2016, 6:32pm

i have deauthorized it and activeted again but still crashes

davitzuroshvili · September 22, 2016, 8:17pm
