I update the new sdk and approve by Apple…
But something seems not good that …
in iOS almost no installs after 5/1 ?
I can say this case is not usual .
is Anyone have the same case ??
My installs dramatically dropped off on May 1st. Didn’t update or change anything. What gives? Did they change something server side?
Hello Everyone,
My name is Jan and I work for RevMob.
First of all, in the name of the RevMob team, I would like to apologize for the installs report delay.
This is as problem affecting only Corona due to their limitations and it also frustrates us but Corona is the only engine not sending Apple’s IDFA which would be used to track installs. Without this tracking option a few advertisers are still adapting to non UDID tracking and this is causing the delays. All those installs are recorded and none of them were lost.
Thanks,
Jan
Corona is showing further details now:
http://www.coronalabs.com/blog/2013/04/30/new-system-info-properties/
Does that not relate to this?
If corona release this more early.
Maybe it would not cause this issue.
But I do think RevMob can use this right now.
Because the corona starter could not use this new function .
So It is not a good time for RevMob use this API right now
@Segaboy you are correct , the latest build available only for pro users solves this issue.
Bear in mind they released it two days before Apple’s deadline which did not gave us much time.
Thanks,
Jan
Thanks for the response and info Jan. The lack of response over the past few days was causing concern.
Is the a particular version of Corona we should use with RevMob 5.1?

Maybe adding a new box showing “missed installs” from previous days would help a little rather just adding to current date. That way you will not have to wonder if the extra installs are today’s installs or previous days install. Not sure if Revmob can automatize this but I think it will help.Not really sure how Revmob adds those “missing” installs after the fact. Manually?
Just my 99 cents!
Mo
missed and paid later OR lost forever due to SDK bug ? 
this is a difference
my 2 cents

What is going on with rev mob!? I used to make 20 or more per day and now only 2-3!?
Is anyone seeing iOS installs on their dashboard? I am not. I am only seeing android installs for the last couple of days.
Notice there is a new version of RevMob… 5.2 available now… which uses the new system info available… but ya need to use Corona 1095… and these properties are only available in IOS6? Is that correct?
So question is… What happens if we use Corona 1095… and RevMob 5.2… and the app runs on a device with IOS 5? Seem you are checking the Corona build version and then going with the system.getInfo(“iosAdvertisingIdentifier”) option… which is only suported on IOS 6.
Jan, can you give us some clarity on this…
thks
Richie
everyone on ios using recent SDK
still no good alternative for udid that is why we cant see installs
Jan :
I also like to know is necessary to update to SDK 5.2.0
Becuase after I update the 5.1.0 to app store and release .
The iOS installs drop. The data of iOS on dashboard is really disaster.
If update 5.2.0 can improve this, I will do it right now .

I was onto RevMob yesterday and they said they applied a fix… And subsequently I had installs recorded. There may be delays on realtime install reporting they said.
I think we need to continue testing this over the coming days and report in this thread.
Im using 1076 with rm v 5.1.
This whole UDID change has us in a state of flux…
Thoughts???

Dear Revmob,
Please clarify does solution for this prooblem would need next SDK version (5.2 ?) or this is entirely done on your server side ? I am in the middle of dozens of reviews at Apple right now. I used 5.1 + latest corona for those builds and see no installs so far.
PS: would be nice to have Install Counter (new IR) but also Converted Installs Counter (current IR). At least this would show developer how much potential installs does he loosing because of too many installs from Revmob on this particular device. Converted IR would be posted / booked IR. Currently we do not know if users DO NOT installs apps becasuse there are no ads or what so ever or DOES server cannot book / post them due to UDID problem.
Tom,
@richard770 I strongly advise you to update your app with SDK 5.2 and Corona 1095. On iOS 5 the IDFA won’t be collected and only the MAC address will be used for tracking which can cause delays on installs.
@LairdGames Thanks for the suggestion, our team is already working on new ways to improve our transparency which I agree is lacking right now.
@Bladko Only missed and paid later. What happens is that once the delays start the advertiser usually pause his campaigns affecting our eCPM. Since he is a large advertiser the drop is easily noticed and publishers can get the false impression installs were lost.
@codingcake The update will definitely improve it.
Thanks,
Jan
Hey Tom… It was a server side fix.
I still want to do more testing… I’ll point the guy in RevMob at this forum and see if they can post sone details on this for us all.
Cheers
Richie
Just re-submitted with 5.2 and 1095. Fingers crossed I guess.
i have test on fresh device
5.2 + 1095 works, impressions / clicks are shown real time, installs in few minutes delay. Only 2-5 cents installs today (pay per click ?)
I wonder about other thing. 70% of all clicks i see [RevMob] The method RevMob.startSession(REVMOB_IDS) has not been called, usually after resume / suspend OR when i click on and ad unit during this particular app session. Never have seen this before. No changes in ad code only update to 5.2.
