[EDIT] Issues with RevMob - Help please!

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hello,

I was trying to implement revmob in my game. 

I downloaded the SDK from revmob website and had gone through few revmob samples.

But, I don’t know why, in every sample an error popped up (PLEASE SEE THE SCREENSHOT ATTACHED).

Help please?

EDIT EDIT EDIT

I managed to work with revmob.lua right. It now works fine.

BUT, now I am getting another error. I searched up for this, but found nothing helpful. The error says : “Attempt to index local RevMob(a boolean value)”.

What does this error mean? 

My code is as follows:

[lua]

local RevMob = require “revmob”

local REVMOB_IDS = {[“Android”] = “MY ID”}

RevMob.startSessionWithListener(REVMOB_IDS, revmobListener)  ----This is where error is flashing ------

local banner = RevMob.createBanner({ x = 50, y = 50, width = 200, height = 40 ,listener = revmobListener })

local revmobListener = function(event)

  print("Event: " … event.type)

end

.

.

. (And code continues …)

[/lua]

I tried Revmob.startSession(means without the listener) but it did not work either. 

I tried making RevMob global (i.e. removing “local” ), but no luck :frowning:

Please help with this?

Anyone who could help me with this?

No one?

It appears that your revmob file is corrupted. Did you modify it?

#5

Umm … noo … Which part is to be modified? 

I mean I am using the ‘revmob.lua’ file as it is. What should be modified in it?

I am new to revmob environment… So don’t know much about this …!

I apologise in advance that this reply is not much help. There was a time when RevMob integration issues were responded to quite well on the forums. From my understanding (and also speaking from my own personal experience) RevMob eCPM fell off the proverbial cliff many months ago. I abandoned RevMob at the time and so did many other Corona devs. Hence the lack of response IMHO.

Best,

Martin.

Oh! I searched up for alternative to admob (because my account got disabled) … and RevMob seemed to be a decent one … Thank you @MAS1.
I was stuck with this revmob issue since last 3-4 days … Now I think I should move on to some other ad provider.

Please suggest me some good ad providers other than admob and revmob?

It’s worth pointing out that RevMob “may” have recovered. Given the lack of chatter on here and elsewhere to that effect - I doubt it. Unless someone can comment to the contrary?

For iOS I use iAds, Adbuddiz, AdMob (sorry that yours is disabled) and Vungle. For Android I don’t bother. Android does not monetize well in my experience. YMMV of course.

#9

I’m presently focusing on android. Cause for iOS I’ll have to arrange for a macbook :stuck_out_tongue: (I’ll try to arrange it soon)
Anyways thank you so much @MAS1 for your time. :slight_smile:

I am seeing very low eCPM on Revmob. Don’t recommend it. Try using Chartboost instead.

#11

So, anecdotally it appears not to have recovered.

When I closed my account with them in the summer, I got exasperated with the installs that were “never credited”. When I queried it with RevLoss, I was told that it was because the campaign in that instance was CPC rather than CPI. Ouch! The dashboard was very misleading.

#12

Okay… So I  tried chartboost. But now during compile time, I am getting the error that chartboost is not supported for this package. 

It is not compatible with corona starter I guess :frowning: [feeling frustrated] 

Now i’m thinking to give Adbuddiz a hit. How is it? If not good, then please suggest an alternative which is compatible with corona starter :stuck_out_tongue:

#13

Like everyone mentioned. Don’t bother with Revmob. They’re pretty useless now. Chartboost is the way to go for interstitials and Vungle for videos. If you’re using iOS, then use iAd too.

#14

I’m unable to use chartboost :frowning: [Maybe because I’m using corona starter].

So now I’m using Adbuddiz for interstitials and Vungle for videos.
