IronSource/Supersonic plugin does not support banner?

Hi corona fellowers. I wonder why supersonic/ironsource plugin does not support banner ads because when I check the documention on their website I can see :

//Rewarded Video IronSource.init(this, appKey, IronSource.AD_UNIT.REWARDED_VIDEO);

//Init Interstitial IronSource.init(this, appKey, IronSource.AD_UNIT.INTERSTITIAL);

//Init Offerwall IronSource.init(this, appKey, IronSource.AD_UNIT.OFFERWALL)

//Init Banner IronSource.init(this, appKey,IronSource.AD_UNIT.BANNER);

How can I display banner with the plugin?  Should I write my own plugin? I’ve never done it before.

Regardless of what the docs say, have you tried showing a banner?

supersonic.show( “banner” )

 

It may be the docs are out-of-date or incorrect (it happens occasionally).    Give it a try, you might get lucky.

 

Note: If you can in fact show banner ads, PLEASE go to this page:

 

https://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/supersonic/show.html

 

Then, scroll to the bottom and click the ‘Retport Issue’ button and suggest an update to the page.

Having said that, my guess is that Supersonic needs to update this plugin.  In that case, I think you should contact them.

Be sure to give them a link back to the docs page and be clear that this is about Corona, so they know what you’re talking about.

I believe this is a plugin we maintain. I’ll ask the team to see if banner’s are supported. I don’t believe that banner’s are currently supported.

I did make a plugin for a company a couple months ago for iron source and supported it works with banner and all mediation networks.

#6

Nice! How can I use it? Is it the supersonic plugin on corona market we are talking about?

#7

Any idea on how long it will take to support banners with the plugin? Currently I can display some admob banners with the paid plugin but it often runs out of ads available.

At the moment I made the setup on the ironSource platform to display my ads and I saw that ads banner are disabled for my account. So I guess this is why banner are not yet supported on the Corona plugin because ads banners are not available by default on the platform. I’m working with a publisher who has an ironSource account with banners enabled. I will try to test my ads with their API key and test if I can display banners as raominggamer said, maybe I will get lucky.

#8

An engineer looked into this and it’s not a simple case of adding in a couple of lines of code to ad support. Apparently there are other things in the plugin that have to be reworked. It’s in the queue to be worked on, but we can’t commit on how soon it will be complete. It definitely won’t be this week.

No, it is an independent plugin. I support all mediation, banners, the full thing. I wrote it for a company a couple years back. I don’t know if I can sell to you or not. I would have to ask the company I made it for if I can and if you would want it.  I cannot submit to marketplace due to corona restrictions about ad networks. Basically, 3rd party plugin devs cannot make ads plugins on the marketplace.

By the way, on the appodeal plugin I can this this disclaimer:

Appodeal contains various SDKs for the ad providers it mediates. This means that you can not use Appodeal in conjunction with AdColony, AppLovin, AdMob, Chartboost, Facebook Audience Network, Flurry Analytics, InMobi, Unity Ads, or Vungle.

I don’t see this disclaimer on the supersonic plugin, does that mean I can’t make mediation with supersonic/ironSource?

The Corona Supersonic plugin does not support mediation. You can use multiple ad providers and if you get an error from one, like “No fill”, then you can load and show an ad from another provider. Appodeal is the only mediation provider we support.
