iOS build fails with Appsaholic Commercial Break plug-in

Solar2D Monetization (in-app purchases, ads, etc.)
#41

Alright, let’s take a look at where we are:

  • You can confirm that there is an issue with the “Enable Analytics and Monetization” setting when used with the following plug-ins:

  • combre

  • applovin

  • Facebook?

  • You are working on resolving/clarifying the issue “soon”

  • Uncompressed apps over 200 megabytes are considered “a bit hefty”

  • my uncompressed source tree for the app is 70mb

  • There is a significant amount of binary bloat that occurs with each plug-in

  • each plug-in binary adds to overall app binary size

  • larger app binaries use more network bandwidth because Corona (free) requires builds to happen remotely

  • It is not “disallowed” to use multiple providers

  • It is suggested to comment out plug-ins that you are not using

From this, I surmise you are telling me you know about this problem and a fix is already being discussed.

Best regards,

Hi Tony,

Yes, let me summarize that we are aware of the issues between that checkbox and the build issue that you experienced. In the meantime, I still advise that for testing alternative ad provider plugins like Commercial Break, AppLovin, or Facebook Audience Network, you comment out Fuse, Vungle, etc.

Best regards,

Thanks, Brent.  For now, I will uncheck the Analytics and Monetization checkbox (disable Fuse)  when testing with combre, applovin, FAN.  Why do you also recommend commenting out Vungle?  Is it because of the size/network concerns or is there also a conflict of some kind?

I think I should just state that I don’t think many of us look at these as binary options.  It just makes sense to diversify your ad portfolio and avoid keeping all of your eggs in one basket.  I may be one of the earlier people to find this, but I know I am not the only one.

I received a message from Fuse this morning that says starting Feb. 11, the Fuse plug-in will need to be explicitly added to build.settings, so I am guessing that is the timeframe for this issue to be fixed?

Hi Tony,

Did you figure out a solution to this? We’re having the same problem with trying to integrate Fuse / AppLovin and Appsaholic.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Dean,

No, I never successfully built my project with both Fuse and Combre plugins enabled.  I ended up pulling the Fuse plugin in favor of Vungle and decided against using Combre because of plugin size and permission concerns.

Best regards,
