[SOLVED] App Open ads no longer showing on iOS (no failed callback either)

I wanted to mention an issue that seems to be happening with recent versions of Solar2D regarding the AdMob plugin on ios.

App open ads are no longer showing on iOS, but the strange part is that the callback also never reports a failure. The “failed” phase / event.isError is not triggered either, so from the lua side it looks like nothing happened at all.

What makes me believe this is not related to my own implementation is that these same apps used to show App open ads correctly on ios in the past, and I have not made any code changes related to App open ads since then. Everything continues to work fine on android, including callbacks and ad display.

I’ve mentioned this before in some posts, but I think it’s important because App open ads can represent meaningful revenue for developers. And when developers are able to generate more revenue with their apps, they are also more likely to continue supporting and contributing to solar2D itself, which helps the engine grow and stay alive.

Solar2d is still an amazing engine and many of us really appreciate the work that goes into maintaining it. That’s why I hope this issue can eventually be investigated, because I think it affects more developers than just me.

Thanks again to everyone contributing to the engine :slightly_smiling_face:

Just pushed a fix that should address this :crossed_fingers:
