Do you know how i can fix this?

did you download and install the libs from the url provided in the guide?

Download Third Party SDK libraries from this link: ThirdPartyLibraries_160 Unpack downloaded archive and copy to the main plugin directory: /Plugins/UniversalMobileAds

.

[pyr0t0n]

Yep these are installed as guided in the manual.

Yep these are installed as guided in the manual.

Go to your Code Works installation path (typically C:/NVPACK/android-sdk-windows) and run “SDK Manager.exe”. Then please check if you have installed “Android Support Repository” and “Android Support Library”.

Sorry , worked out the problem, seemed my build.xml got corrupted, working now

Sorry for the late reply, we got it working by switching to UE 4.13.

Another question is it you plugin asking for additional GooglePlus permission?

or is it the switch to UE 4.13. Because we switch both things, UE to 4.13 and your plugin to Version 1.6. Our manifest only has these permissions in the final AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=“15” android:targetSdkVersion=“22” />
<uses-feature android:glEsVersion=“0x00020000” android:required=“true” />
<uses-permission android:name=“android.permission.INTERNET” />
<uses-permission android:name=“android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE” />
<uses-permission android:name=“android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE” />
<uses-permission android:name=“android.permission.WAKE_LOCK” />
<uses-permission android:name=“com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE” />
<uses-permission android:name=“android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE” />
<uses-permission android:name=“com.android.vending.BILLING” />

If i click on “Decline” it will not log me in to google play services.

This is the new feature in UE 4.13

This is the new feature in UE 4.13

Do you know if it is possible to prevent this?

EDITED:

We got another Problem too with our iOS Build.
If we want to Upload it we get the following response:

ERROR ITMS-90542: “Invalid CFBundleSupportedPlatforms value. The key ‘CFBundleSupportedPlatforms’ in the Info.plist file in bundle ‘Payload/FlyingPigs.app/MoPub.bundle’ contains an invalid value ‘[iPhoneSimulator]’. Consider removing the CFBundleSupportedPlatforms key from the Info.plist. If this bundle is part of a third-party framework, consider contacting the developer of the framework for an update to address this issue.”

We checked the Info.plist in

\Plugins\UniversalMobileAds\Source\ThirdParty\iOS\MoPub.embeddedframework.zip\MoPub.embeddedframework\Resources\MoPub.bundle

and found the “iPhoneSimulator” String there.

Is there a fix for that too?

Thanks for helping out.

It’s not possible because it is required to identify Google Play user.

Please download Third Party Libraries again, replace and try to build. Let me know if it helps!

Hi gameDNA,

I am using your Universal Mobile Ads. I notice my app crashes at the same time an ad doesn’t show on the phone. Just from what I can see, if the ad doesn’t load or get served - the app just crashes. I launch it a few more times, and it starts fine then shows a banner ad. Why would this happen inconsistently?

Thanks,
peter

Hi Peter,

1. On which platform does it happen? iOS or Android?
2. Please attach logs from device when app crashes (development build). Without logs I don’t know what happened because during tests it didn’t occur in scenario you described…

Do you use custom banners (MoPub Orders) or only ads served by ad networks?

[PeterLNewton]

@;607859

Do you use custom banners (MoPub Orders) or only ads served by ad networks?

Only ads by Network. The networks I have enabled are AdMob, and Vungle.

[gameDNA]

@PeterLNewton;607969

Only ads by Network. The networks I have enabled are AdMob, and Vungle.

It looks like a problem with MRAID banners (it should be only accesible via MoPub Orders or MoPub Marketplace). Please attach full logs from device not only fragment… I’m curious what ad network it tries to load.
