I decided to use Corona Ads over admob to help simplify my monetization workflow (clean up the code). Ad Mob worked great for me but Corona Ads doesn’t seem to be showing up and there are no errors thrown. I was able to check the logcat to make sure.
I noticed in the console that I still have a “pending status”. Could that be the problem?
If you’re seeing “pending” then you’re account’s backend hasn’t been setup yet. This should happen within 24 hours of you setting up your app.
Check back after 24 hours.

Actually the Ads team got back with me and you should be getting ads while “pending”, but it depends on fill rate and can still take up to 24 hours.

Okay. Got you. I was able to print out what was output from the event:
08-15 14:00:48.070 17738 17751 I Corona : {
08-15 14:00:48.070 17738 17751 I Corona : “name”:“adsRequest”,
08-15 14:00:48.070 17738 17751 I Corona : “phase”:“request”,
08-15 14:00:48.070 17738 17751 I Corona : “placementId”:“Bottom Banner 320x50”,

08-15 14:00:48.070 17738 17751 I Corona : “isError”:false
08-15 14:00:48.070 17738 17751 I Corona : }
08-15 14:01:10.400 17738 17758 E Corona : ERROR: timeout
08-15 14:01:10.400 17738 17756 E Corona : ERROR: timeout
08-15 14:01:10.410 17738 17760 E Corona : ERROR: timeout
08-15 14:01:10.420 17738 17759 E Corona : ERROR: timeout
Looks like a time out is happening. Is that because of the fill rate?
The times outs are not fill rate related. That sounds like something else.
Corona Ads dumps a lot of content to the console log. There is probably more than this. If you’re using adb logcat, with parameters to filter only Corona messages, try running adb logcat with no extra parameters to get everything.

My account is still pending 6 days later, and no ads are showing up.
Ads showed up when I used the tutorial api key, but not when I substituted my own key.
*Bump* coming up on day #8 and still no ads showing, and my account is still pending.
Yes I have. No response. Think this is day 2 now? Not sure.
Hopefully you will get a response soon.
Rob
I did, thanks. It’s active now.
