Iphone iOS 7 / admob: Interstitial ad shows the status bar in front of the ad and close button

henrik5 · January 20, 2014, 2:49pm

The ad does close if you try to touch the x a couple times. The status bar also shows between the loading image and the first storyboard scene being loaded, so I guess the main problem is that the status bar won’t go away using the standard

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iphone = { &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;plist = { &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;UIAppFonts = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Roboto-Light.ttf", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Roboto-LightItalic.ttf", &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Roboto-Thin.ttf" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; UIStatusBarHidden = true,&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;UIPrerenderedIcon = true, -- set to false for "shine" overlay &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = true, -- uncomment to quit app on suspend &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CFBundleDisplayName = "Sun ＆ Moon Pro" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; --[[&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; -- iOS app URL schemes: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CFBundleURLTypes = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; CFBundleURLSchemes = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "fbXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", -- example scheme for facebook &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "coronasdkapp", -- example second scheme &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; } &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; --]] &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;} &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}, &nbsp;

and

display.setStatusBar(display.HiddenStatusBar)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-- show no/default status bar (iOS) &nbsp;

Adding UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance = true to the iphone options does prevent the statusbar from showing between the loader image and first scene appearing. But the status bar is still visible over the ad and the close button. Is there a build that fixes this so that interstitial ads can go full screen?

I’m experiencing the same issue today also. The funny thing, nothing changed in my code in relations to the admob ad except for making a new build today. I’ve tested this on the latest 2014.2xxx builds, no luck.

gamebit.labs · January 20, 2014, 7:55pm

I also notice that for admob banner ads (full horizontal), i see 1 pixel gaps on the left/right side of the banner. Again, nothing change in code in relations to the ad except that on certain days the builds show a gap, on certain days they don’t.

Same here please fix this.

Hi @RLRL,

Can you describe your issue in more detail? Is it exactly the same as “some days yes, some days no” described by @gamebit.labs? Meaning, if you use the exact same Corona build #, sometimes the ads have the 1-pixel gap, but another day they don’t? Or are you using different daily builds, and in some builds it happens but others it doesn’t?

Thanks,

Brent

Experiencing exactly the same issue here, have to click the X twice to dismiss and a nasty status bar across the Ad, once the Ad dismisses the status bar vanishes as main.lua had

display.setStatusBar( display.HiddenStatusBar )

Any ideas if future build will fix ? Currently using Version 2013.2100 (2013.12.7)

Also I tested on an iOS6 device, NO PROBLEMS !! It seems iOS7 specific.

@davporte, I think Brent asked about the banner issue because they had already fixed the status bar issue in topic? So check the daily builds changelog since Feb 6. Well at least I hope so

davporte · February 18, 2014, 12:24am

@henrik5 can’t see anything in the log re this ? The status bar issue is not fixed and the nasty having to hit the X a number of times on iOS7

gurcanhamali · February 18, 2014, 7:54am

Hi Brent,

I have same issue on my Iphone5 (it has ios 7) .

When admob: Interstitial ad shows the status bar in front of the ad and close button.

I cant update my application for this reason.

tulip-wangwei · February 25, 2014, 3:17am

@davporte I experienced the same issue as you. The status bar show in front of Interstitial ad, so the users have to tap X number of time to close the ad. Did you find out how to fix it?

@Brent Do you know how to fix this problem I mentioned above? Thanks

bjsorrentino · February 25, 2014, 9:31pm

I believe that a bug report was filed for this (in a related post), so we can investigate and work on a fix now.

Thanks,

Brent

Brent Sorrentino:

any news about the fix?

andreglegg · March 3, 2014, 6:26pm

Is this happening on the release build or a debug/test build ?
