Do I have to build the app to test ads?

  @seppsepp yep ads are platform specific, so specific ads work only on specific platforms, so you need to build your own Gideros player with preinstalled plugin:

  Ok, I tried it, copied the Ads plugin to a subdir called "Plugins/Ads/", I followed this guide http://giderosmobile.com/labs/ads-interface and now an error occurs:

  ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L"/Applications/Gideros Studio/GiderosiOSPlayer/GiderosiOSPlayer"' ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L"/Applications/Gideros Studio/GiderosiOSPlayer/GiderosiOSPlayer/Plugins"' ld: library not found for -llua clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

  Without the Ads plugin the build process works fine - ok, after I did this http://members.giderosmobile.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=94
  
  Any ideas why the error might occur?

  Path are like this:

  $(inherited) "$(SRCROOT)/GiderosiOSPlayer" $(PROJECT_DIR)/GiderosiOSPlayer/Plugins/Ads/frameworks/Admob $(PROJECT_DIR)/GiderosiOSPlayer/Plugins/Ads/frameworks/Chartboost $(PROJECT_DIR)/GiderosiOSPlayer/Plugins/Ads/frameworks/Inmobi $(PROJECT_DIR)/GiderosiOSPlayer/Plugins/Ads/frameworks/SamsungAdHub $(PROJECT_DIR)/GiderosiOSPlayer/Plugins/Ads/frameworks/TapForTap

  It's fine, isn't it?

  Hmm, yes the paths look correct.
  
  Basically the error says that lua lib is not found
  
  Check if there is liblua in your xcode project and if that is actually appearing in the a xcode itself, as it may have been removed accidentally

  The lib exists. And without the Ads plugin its no problem to build the player. Only when I add the plugin the error occurs. I'm a bit baffled =| .

  @seppsepp did you add all the linker flags described here for your specific ad provider:

  What does adding Ads plugin change so bad, that I can't build the player anymore? Could someone please try it by himself? Would be great to read wether it still works for others =| .
  
  Btw: I use XCode 5.1.1, Gideros Player 2014.1 and the current Ads plugin.

  I had similar problems, not sure why it was happening but removing the liblua reference in Xcode then re-adding it and linking made the problem go away
