Vungle Plugin works in Corona Simulator but not Corona Native Xcode Simulator

Hi there,

I am having a bit of difficulty with the Vungle plugin.

I’m trying the most straight-foward test:

• Copy the ‘Applications/Corona/Native/Project Template/App’ to the desktop.

• Add the following build.settings:

    plugins =     {         ["plugin.vungle"] =         {             publisherId = "com.vungle"         }     }

• Add the following to the top of the main.lua:

local ads = require "plugin.vungle"

Then I compile which does complete successfully, but when I come to run in the Xcode simulator I get:

2018-12-14 18:48:06.630689+0000 App[49504:1072875] ERROR: Runtime error module 'plugin.vungle' not found:resource (plugin.vungle.lu) does not exist in archive     no field package.preload['plugin.vungle']     no file '/Users/m/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/0E6F0895-66A1-4D99-9C5B-9198FE888E27/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/E01FD095-D6D9-4F0E-A2AA-8C074792283F/App.app/corona-plugins/plugin/vungle.lua'     no file '/Users/m/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/0E6F0895-66A1-4D99-9C5B-9198FE888E27/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/E01FD095-D6D9-4F0E-A2AA-8C074792283F/App.app/plugin/vungle.lua'     no file '/Users/m/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/0E6F0895-66A1-4D99-9C5B-9198FE888E27/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/E01FD095-D6D9-4F0E-A2AA-8C074792283F/App.app/plugin/vungle.lua'     no file '/Users/m/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/0E6F0895-66A1-4D99-9C5B-9198FE888E27/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/E01FD095-D6D9-4F0E-A2AA-8C074792283F/App.app/corona-plugins/plugin/vungle.so'     no file './plugin/vungle.so'     no file '/Users/m/Library/Develo

I assume that the build process is not pulling down the vungle plugin, but I don’t really know whats going on!

If I use the Corona Simulator to build it does indeed work, in the debug console it says it’s found the native plugin:

Dec 14 07:01:24.717 Using additional build settings from: build.settings                     Building: Copying app resources                     Building: Unpacking build from server Dec 14 07:01:24.785 Building: Adding plugins Dec 14 07:01:24.833 Analyzing plugins...

Thanks for any help,

Mike

Ok so managed to work it out from reading this thread:

Basically you need to force the download of plugins. You do this by:

• loading up your xcode project

• changing the current scheme to 'Download Plugins" (Click ‘App’ top left of the window next to the Play/Stop buttons)

• select ‘Generic device’

• hit the Play (build then run) button.

Once that has built, it should have downloaded all the necessary plugins (that you have specified in build.settings).

Change your scheme back to App, select a simulator and Build/Run.
