iAD, how to determine it's been "shown" like in admobV2 (interstitial)

Going through the documentation and it seems only admobV2 supports this?  Or is it interchangeable and I’m doing something wrong

Hi @henson802,

By “shown” do you mean, the ad triggers the event listener that you set up? iAds supports a listener function as well, and if I recall the event properties given are very similar, if not essentially the same.

Hey @Brent Sorrentino

Yes - the adListener (event) function… doesn’t have the “shown” in the iAds documentation but does in the adMob.  The adListener are similar but some key parts are seemingly missing from the iAds, such as the “shown” and “loaded”

Also, in adMob documentation shows you can preload the adverts.  But nowhere in the iAds documentation shows that you can do this.

Both are rather crucial in my development project, so was curious if it was something in my code that I’m doing wrong… or the iAds Plugin doesn’t incorporate these (yet).

This is the link for a ticket to implement the ‘preload’ feature : http://feedback.coronalabs.com/forums/188732-corona-sdk-feature-requests-feedback/suggestions/5222567-preloading-ad-banner-interstitial-before-showing-i

I’m guessing that hasn’t been implemented in iAds (over 200 up-votes!)… only confirmation for AdMob and so I’m thinking that the ‘shown’ part of the adListener event isn’t there either for iAds.

Maybe it’s just my code - but I signed up for AdMob and plan to try that once it gets linked to see if I have better luck.  Also may as well try Vungle - one of them shall fit my needs
