From The Blog: Appodeal plugin updated to SDK version 2.0

Getting Started Announcements
#1

Corona Labs offers over twenty monetization plugins that we strive to keep maintained and up-to-date. Usually these updates are transparent and we notify you via posts to the Monetization subforum. Occasionally, however, there are breaking changes that we need to make you aware of.

Specifically, the latest update to the Appodeal plugin has two breaking changes which may require that you update your code:

  1. The "video" ad type has been rolled into the "interstitial" type. Thus, in various API calls like appodeal.load() and appodeal.show(), "video" will no longer work. However, you can control the choice of video vs. static interstitial ads through the Appodeal Dashboard.
  2. tvOS support has been removed. In other words, if you’re building for tvOS, the Appodeal plugin will no longer work.

These changes will affect developers using Corona build 2017.3068 (the current public release) or later. If you wish to use the older plugin version, you’ll need to use an older daily build of Corona.

Hi,

Can I get a bit more detail on this please?  I have looked at the documentation on appodeal and can’t seem to find any updated documentation.

Thanks,

There probably are not huge differences between the docs:

https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/appodeal/index.html

The two changes involved dropping tvOS, the docs no longer list tvOS for the platforms. The other change is the “video” type is no longer available as a separate item. It’s now part of  “Interstitials”. You will notice in the .load() documentation that “video” is no longer an option.

Hello Corona folks. I’ve done several Android builds using Corona build 2017.3105 today and yesterday. But for some reason, the Android logcat output for the app keeps showing “plugin.appodeal 1.3”. Shouldn’t it be 2.0?

I’ll get engineering to investigate!

That number is our plugin version which is 1.3. It’s not the Appodeal SDK version which is 2.0.

Ah! That makes sense! Thank you Rob!
