UPDATE:
The .sdk_packages.json file looks like this for the admob ad on android. Obviously the ca-app-pub-XX contains the correct values.
"android": {
"AdMob": {
"ads": {
"gameover": {
"type": "interstitial",
"id": "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
},
"home": {
"width": 320,
"type": "banner",
"id": "ca-app-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"alignment": "bottom",
"height": 50
}
}
}
},
This is the result.
Im also having issues with the Chartboost sdkbox implementation for ads, the cache is not being cleared when the app is closed or even uninstalled. I have updated the reward video image and text on the Chartboost dashboard but the app still displays the old image and text.
I have contacted Chartboost and theyre tests show that the ad is being updated, but sdkbox Chartboost in my app is not pulling the updated ad.
The problem for both AdMob and Chartboost in sdkbox seems to be the cache because they are not loading the updated ads or reading the .json file for dimensions. Another example in AdMob is if I change the name from home to bannerad, and update the code accordingly, nothing is being displayed.
CODE:
AppDelegate.cpp
sdkbox::PluginAdMob::init();
sdkbox::PluginAdMob::setListener(new IMListener());
sdkbox::PluginAdMob::setTestDevices("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
sdkbox::PluginAdMob::cache("home");
//sdkbox::PluginAdMob::cache("gameover");
IMListener
class IMListener : public sdkbox::AdMobListener{
public:
virtual void adViewDidReceiveAd(const std::string &name) {
if(name == "home")
{
sdkbox::PluginAdMob::show(name);
}
}
virtual void adViewDidFailToReceiveAdWithError(const std::string &name, const std::string &msg) {
}
virtual void adViewWillPresentScreen(const std::string &name) {
}
virtual void adViewDidDismissScreen(const std::string &name) {
}
virtual void adViewWillDismissScreen(const std::string &name) {
}
virtual void adViewWillLeaveApplication(const std::string &name) {
}
};
HelloWorld.cpp
bool HelloWorld::init(){
// do stuff here
sdkbox::PluginAdMob::show("home");
return true;
}
