Gideros Apple TV with new AppLovin tvOS ads SDK

MobAmuse

Implanted the newer tvOS ads stuff from AppLovin (using their guide) into my Apple TV app to use ads but it won't fully compile - see image...

Going to go in paid until this works for now.

Yes, I was afraid of that, that mobile has more options than tvos sdk.
Will wrap them in macro then

MobAmuse

OK

MobAmuse

I think tv based apps that are 100% free with ads will be a game changer for many in reality so quite excited by that prospect myself.

Hope we can get this working soon

I'm adding them for the demo levels of my game, keeping the rest paid. Looks like AppleTV owners have deep wallets. That is of course when applovin works on appletv (in Gideros).

MobAmuse

I think i'll try some apps as paid and some free with ads later when applovin works on appletv too in my case. I currently await the submission pass on the first one before I open the flood gates of app ports to this device

I tried to build AppLoving for Appletv with the same code, unfortunately it builds all for simulator and lauches too.
And I don't have a device to try to build for real architecture.

So maybe you @MobAmuse or someone else can tinker around Applovin part and enclose unsupported stuff into such macro:
https://github.com/gideros/gideros/commit/f6ae468f2a182f4034d8ac89153a02022fe8540a

And of course you can try this latest code, maybe this one check was already enough?

I can have a look tomorrow.

MobAmuse

Cool as will I. Oddly enough I only tried building with sdk on the real device to date.

SinisterSoft

I need ads working on atv too for Dungeons, so will have a good go.

MobAmuse

I did all that but when building for tv simulator at least, I still get this on compile:

@interface AdsClass : NSObject

+(void)init;
+(void)cleanup;

+(UIViewController*)getRootViewController;

Expected a type

MobAmuse

I also get the same for building for real device too.

MobAmuse

...but when building for real device this instead...

Hmm, but you don't get that error when you are using AppLoving with ios SDK as previously?

I have no idea where did that came from. and I don't experience anything like that when building in apple tv simulator. Does Apple TV does not have UIViews anymore?

MobAmuse

I have no idea as never used AppLovin with iOS before (I use Chartboost for iOS) and only used AppLovin with Android until now

I downloaded the tvOS AppLovin SDK and pulled all the ads stuff on github from gideros/gideros/plugins/ads/source/iOS/Plugins/Ads & Frameworks
Followed their guide to implant it along with that.

That is what I get on compile to either simulator and real device.

Maybe I am using the wrong ads framework compared to you but I thought the path above is the one I should be using and the only other giderosplugins dir on github is Mar'15 and that is old stuff.

I've probably done something wrong again

MobAmuse

I went thru it all again just now and tried stuck your fixed AppLovin.m code over what I rebuilt (with a clean each time) and now I get this single error on both simulator and real device so something got a bit better at least

MobAmuse

Perhaps let me have your working iOS AppLovin Ads stuff as is as a zip or something?

MobAmuse

Nope, I rebuilt everything again this morning using the newly TV macro'd AdsApplovin.mm you provided above earlier and the latest AppLovin tvOS sdk etc. It results in this build error on both TV simulator and real device. I only target Apple TV in my build and no mobile devices as it's just a TV only app.

@SinisterSoft Any joy with any of this?

Gone in paid for now with several TV apps anyway.

Cheers,

MobAmuse

It's currently confirmed as broken until further notice.
