I use AdMob, AppLovin, Chartboost and AdBuddiz (in that order) using my own mediation layer.
Downloads have increased markedly - iOS App Analytics show that the download increases across my apps have come from China.
My ad impressions have not increased. I rather hoped that they would as my main ad provider is AdMob.
Has anyone had success in serving ads in China? Not sure if any of the ad providers in Corona serve China?
Thanks - Hoglet.
It turns out that when I check AdSense/AdMob breakdown by country - China is not listed.
@Dev Community and @Corona Support - are there any ad plugins that serve China?
Thanks - Hoglet.
It looks like appodeal does fine in china. Look at attachment. Mind you i get very little traffic there.
I’ve contacted AppLovin to see if they serve China.
Having read some forum postings elsewhere I have concluded that for most devs, China downloads do not give a proportionate increase in ad revenue. Oh well…!
How are you getting downloads in China? Did you go through their approval process?
My downloads are probably rogue since I have not gone through or want to go through the approval process.
Turns out that it’s both Japan and China. I didn’t do anything in particular for the iOS submission/review.
I default all my apps to all territories in iTunes Connect.
Still, it’s all rather suspicious. No increase in bootups showing in the Chartboost dash. No increase in ads served/requested in AdMob.
I will leave it. Experience has told me where to focus my efforts and when I am “spinning my wheels!”
AppLovin have confirmed they do serve ads in China.
Our downloads in china also increased over the last months without any felt results.
Don’t know why. It’s just messing up the download statistics 
I agree. Downloads have increased between 4 and 5 fold.
Tempted to pull apps from Japan and China. Might as well leave them there as there may be the odd IAP.
Sill, I rely on US, Australia, Canada and then, to a lesser extent, the UK market.
