[Solved] How to test InMobi?

I have built the Sample Code /CoronaSDK/SampleCode/Ads/InMobi , but it doesn’t work.

In InMobi account, I have registered my app on the app store and its status is changed to Activated.

In main.lua, I have changed the AppId with string surrounded by quotes.

[import]uid: 12088 topic_id: 13215 reply_id: 313215[/import]

In my case, no banner shows up with the inmobi provided example. I’ve set the inmobi appid in main.lua.

The status of my app in the inmobi site is pending but according to its FAQ, in this case test ads would be served.

When I run the inmobi example, the console shows this:

Wed Aug 3 23:08:11 iPad-de-Isiursu InMobi[420] : InMobi: Test-Mode is on, test ads will be served.
Make sure to set test-mode to false before submitting to App Store

Wed Aug 3 23:08:11 iPad-de-Isiursu InMobi[420] : InMobi:Ad request failed.Server returned a no-fill.

Another issue is that if I touch the “Show next banner” button several times fast the app crashes.

Any idea?

Thanks

Isidro.

I’m having the same problem. My game is live in the app store, so I’m adding in ad support.

In my log file, it shows my Bundle ID as com.omnigeekmedia.games.omniblasterlite just like I would expect. But when I went to register the app on the InMobi site, they didn’t like BundleID’s with sub-domains in them. I posted feedback and the tech responded to just leave out the subdomain, but if they are using that to match up the ad delivery.

I can’t realistically change my Bundle ID and sub-domains are perfectly allowed.

I’m stumped. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 13215 reply_id: 48723[/import]

I did a quick test. InMobi has a test appID you can use to test against. When I use it, I get Ads. When I use my AppID I don’t.

Also what is a good speed to rotate the ads. The sample code is rotating every 5 seconds which is way too fast.

@robmiracle

60 seconds refresh rate works well for me in AdMob. So I also use 60 seconds
for InMobi.

BTW, how long did it take InMobi to approve your ad.

I submitted my first ad 24 hours ago and it is still pending, and I’ve just submiitted my
second ad (for another new game). [import]uid: 64189 topic_id: 13215 reply_id: 48784[/import]

I’ve used the InMobi test AppId and it doesn’t work either.

Always the same response: InMobi:Ad request failed.Server returned a no-fill.

@isidro:

Did you remember to set the testMode=true ?

[blockcode]

ads.show( “banner320x48”, { x=0, y=0, interval=60, testMode=true } )

[/blockcode]
After that, you may need to wait 2 - 3 minutes for the test ad banner to show.

@robmiracle and Ansca Support:

Did you get any full page test ad (like AdMob testpage) when you touch the test ad banner.
For my case, nothing happens when I touch the test ad banner.

So far I’ve tapped on one ad and it took me to the the app store to install the Groupon app.

I’m getting ads now on my appID now that its been approved.

Now I have to REDO all my backgrounds because the only place I can put the ads overlays text on the background.

**SIGH**

@droidresearch Yes , I tried with testMode set to true and false. I tried with the test appId and with an appId of a activated app. I waited for hours and nothing.

I’ve a ticket opened with InMobi.

Thanks.

My InMobi app has been approved. After 48 hours, my fill rate is only 19.8%.

Is it this bad for you guys as well?

My AdMob (for my Android SDK apps) fill rate is 80 - 99 % in the first 48 hours.

I hope Ansca can include AdMob soon, we really need AdMob. [import]uid: 64189 topic_id: 13215 reply_id: 49106[/import]

hi guys,
where’s this testAppId that you guys talking about? I have the same problem with inmobi ads not showing up at all. Support says that’s because my app still on incomplete status (which gonna be for quite awhile but i like to test the functionality if possible) [import]uid: 76697 topic_id: 13215 reply_id: 50334[/import]

Scroll down about half way to the question about:

I am an App developer, my App is still under development. Can I register my app, integrate and test it? [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 13215 reply_id: 50337[/import]
