Game with iAds crashes after ads.show() call

krystian6 · January 31, 2013, 5:54am

Hi,

I want to implement iAds in my game.
It looks pretty simple, however after calling ads.show() my application crashes.

Same thing happens when using sample code.

Here;s the crashlog:

There were few times when app didn’t crash, but my listener got an error event with this description:

response : The operation couldn’t be completed. Ad inventory unavailable

Any ideas on what could have gone wrong?

Funny thing… it works ok on xcode simulator.
Still… crashes on a device
I was testing it using iPad 3, app build as iPhone only [import]uid: 109453 topic_id: 35485 reply_id: 141031[/import]

In my test crash on iPad but not crash on iPhone. Apple rejected my iPhone (not iPad) game because it’s crashed on iPad used for test by Apple’s team review.

Sorry for my bad english.

In past days I send to Apple a version of my game with iAd disabled if used on iPad. [import]uid: 96930 topic_id: 35485 reply_id: 141040[/import]

khadgar: thanks man… I’m wondering if this is common?
I’m not building universal app. I have separate version for ipad and separate for phones [ios/android].
I’m wondering if the ipad version will crash as well on ipad, I didn;t implement ads in that branch yet though. [import]uid: 109453 topic_id: 35485 reply_id: 141043[/import]

I do not know but for now suspected to have problems on the iPad, sure. [import]uid: 96930 topic_id: 35485 reply_id: 141045[/import]

Hi @krystian6 and @khadgar1,

We have verified that this is a bug. The iAds sample app crashes when you build for iPhone only and run it on an iPad.

@krystian6, can you please submit this as a bug report using the link below? You don’t need to provide a sample project, as the symptoms are shown in the Corona iAds sample app. But, by submitting the bug yourself, you’ll get a case number when it goes into the bug database, and you can track it.

Sincerely,
Brent Sorrentino [import]uid: 200026 topic_id: 35485 reply_id: 141109[/import]
