I am now at a point that it works in main activity but does not work in plugin class. Can't yet determine why, and its getting too late here, but on the right track

the problem was the order of call for chartboost onCreate and onStart events.
Since ad framework is initialized only in code, sometimes onStart event has already passed and onCreate is called after it, thus something inside the chartboost lib did not get enabled.
Now onto AdColony and Android version will be ready

But note that some structure changed, so you might need to do some reinstallation steps

Hi Risto,
Thank you for your ongoing help with this.
Firstly, I can confirm that the affected app(s) have been updated recently to include a refreshed library and also activity that was missing from the app manifest.
The live android apps that appear to work normally now that reference your system are:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobileamusements.FlyChookyFlyFREE
and…
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobileamusements.CrockOGoldSlotsFREE
Regards the issue your end it was not possible for me to know if your own problem affected our own android apps as the the 3rd party function was broken until very recently.
I am happy to report that in both cases however that it all seems to be working now across a range of several device types which is great news.
Hopefully now we can bring more Android game apps as well as iOS to your system now the pain is over
Thank you again and I will pass on this valuable info to the 3rd party provider for their own reference too.
Best regards,
Adrian Cummings

Hi Adrian,
We discovered and fixed a bug that was affecting a part of Android apps in our network. Our backend falsely validated campaigns without a proper sized creative for Android devices leading to missed traffic for all stakeholders. After the fix we saw an increase in the delivery success for said devices.
I am guessing your apps were affected by this issue with the erratic impression showing. When the interstitials weren't shown our backend was trying to offer a campaign without a proper interstitial to the device. This lead to the impression count dropping and being erratic across different devices as the campaigns changed and different devices were able to show some of the campaigns while others were not.
As the behavior was erratic across different devices the issue was troublesome, but in the end our San Francisco team stuck with it and found the cause.
Can you check with your team if this was the issue with you?
We're sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. Extra thank you for working with us and providing information on the issue.

I've pushed one app with chartboost almost 3 days ago. Having around 70 bootups, around 100 impressions and around 10 clicks daily
Even have 1 delivered install
But the earnings still show 0
And I have not seen any ad on my device, only if I enable test ads, no normal ads (even after adding device as test device).
Is it possible I've done something wrong, like did not confirm my account or something?
Contacted chartboost yesterday, but no response (probably because I'm the only one working on weekends
You should see between $2-10 by now in reality and also you should see real ads once you turn of the test ads or have seen 20 of them in a row.
Have you locked out any countries?
Can't think of anything else at this moment in time. If you see test ads then it is integrated fine so you should be earning something really when you list the apps analytics for say a week.
And left all values by default, did not change anything
I just don't want to upgrade other apps till its resolved
But ok thank you, hopefully it will speed up, or at least get a reply on Monday from Chartboost
I noticed today after building a binary for Amazon that I see test ads but only real ads occasionally with the new ad libs you released.
I may make a build with the previous ad libs if it stays like this and also to contact Risto at Chartboost in case we have the same problem we had with vanilla google droid not so long ago.
Hope not of course.
And I'm using previous sdk version, not the new one currently
Won't be adding new apps till the issue resolved
But I started to see chartboost ads from time to time, so it is working, I just don't know why the fact that I added device as a test device, did not change anything (by their docs, it was supposed to enable me seeing their ads all the time, without filtering and qualification to see it)
Another strange thing
In some analytics reports I sometimes see impressions and clicks for Advertiser role, but I don't have any advertiser campaigns running, so I don't have idea whats going on
He did explain to me earlier that ads are not served every call and indeed can have a low fillrate until advertisers bids build up, even as a test device it seems.
I see test ads all the time on all my apps when selected.
Advertiser yes is very odd as you should see none in a publishing campaign. I've never seen that myself so that is odd. Sure you set up your campaign as publisher? just saying.
OK I'm waiting for amazon to clear my app before I can go any further.
But if I try Apps -> Analytics, then it shows my apps also with advertiser role and clicks and impressions, etc.
