Are Applovin rewarded videos supported by Ads Interface?

The general forum silence must mean "no".

vitalitymobile · June 2015

@totebo maybe you can using ADCOLONY VIDEO or using native bridge to call Applovin android api. For Applovin in ios, i do not have solution

ar2rsawseen · June 2015

There is a solution, to add new if statement in AppLovin ios file (https://github.com/gideros/gideros/blob/master/plugins/ads/source/iOS/Plugins/Ads/frameworks/AdsApplovin.m) which would handle videos on ios

totebo · June 2015

Thanks guys! A thought just occurred to me, though. Is there a difference between a non-skippable video and a rewarded video? What's stopping me from simply using a non-skippable video and "AD_ACTION_END" to determine when it's been played?

totebo · June 2015

Also, what are your experiences with rewarded videos: Which network performs best in your experience?

SinisterSoft · June 2015

AppLovin is currently the best perfoming Ad system, before that it was Chartboost.

totebo · June 2015

Thanks Sinister!

Here is the current Applovin implementation for Rewarded videos:
https://www.applovin.com/integration#iosRewardedVids

I suppose it would need to be integrated into Ads Interface?

ar2rsawseen · June 2015

Hello @totebo

yes the difference between rewarded and skipable is that you see if user watched video or not and yes you could probably implement the ACTION_END event in the way that skippable and rewared videos would be basically the same for you, if sdk allows to know if skippable video was watched fully or not of course

And now the part I hate about most ads sdks, I need to be logged in to see the implementation docs, will need to try to remember the accounts now, since I'm on new computer

I just got back from vacation and have stuff to catch up, but I hope next week all will go as usually routine so I could try to spend an evening on updateing ads interfaces libs and adding stuff like that so if you could add all you need to github issues, that would be great, so I would have only one list to go through and look what needs to be updated and added

totebo · June 2015

Great! Will add to Github issues. As for passwords... Don't you use Google Chrome?

ar2rsawseen · June 2015

passwords?

I meant remembering the accounts for the Ad SDKs.

I've added this as an issue to giderosplugins here:
https://github.com/gideros/giderosplugins/issues/5

ar2rsawseen · June 2015

ah I see, but I'm one new computer, so nothing is stored

totebo · June 2015

Google Chrome stores all passwords on their servers (if you want), so you only ever have to remember one password!

totebo · July 2015

Hey @ar2rsawseen, did you have a chance to look at the Ads Interface stuff? I'm submitting my new game next week, so would be great with this working.

ar2rsawseen · July 2015

It's on my todays todo list
which will hopefully would follow by the release soon too

totebo · July 2015

Wahey! I'd be happy to test or help in any way.

ar2rsawseen · July 2015

I can't seem to get AdColony working
I updated the lib and it all builds (both ios and Android) but all videos always fail with no video available
it is like they black listed my account, because even in test mode ads dont show up

totebo · July 2015

For me it took a little while before I received any videos. I can test for you if you want?

totebo · July 2015

Which network, by the way?

Works for me now with rewarded videos:

- Chartboost
- AdColony

Doesn't work with rewarded videos:

- Applovin (rewarded videos not implemented)
- Heyzap (outdated)
- Vungle (outdated)

ar2rsawseen · July 2015

Just now updated AppLovin
Let me check Heyzap and Vungle

totebo · July 2015

Here is a relevant post for those networks: http://giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/5827/vungle-and-heyzap#Item_1

ar2rsawseen · July 2015

Updated also Heyzap and Vungle.
Only I updated them in the main repo:
https://github.com/gideros/gideros/tree/master/plugins

still not sure on how to properly manage plugins in the main repo or in separate one

totebo · July 2015

Either is fine by me. Trying it out now.

totebo · July 2015

Vungle: Works!
Applovin: Works!
Heyzap: Doesn't give any response back most of the time. Sometimes I get interstitials when requesting v4vc with the code below:

self.network = Ads.new( "heyzap" )
self.network:setKey( "appid" )
self.network:loadAd( "v4vc" )

ar2rsawseen · July 2015

you are talking about ios, right?
I have some problems on Android, but ios heyzap worked great yesterday for me, including all events working.

what happens if you try showAd instead of loadAd? Maybe there's a bug, I could not test many cases

totebo · July 2015

Yeah, iOS. I tried showAd() too, same thing. It sometimes says it's loaded an interstitial, but even if I try to show it, there is nothing there and the AD_DISMISSED event is immediately fired.

totebo · July 2015

I've tried these:

self.network:showAd( "intersitial" )
self.network:showAd( "v4vc" )
self.network:showAd( "video" )

Nothing is shown for these, but the AD_RECEIVED event fires, with e.type == "interstitial".

totebo · July 2015

I tried replacing the SDK with the latest one from Heyzap, still the same issue. Do I need to update any other files files in addition to AdsHeyzap.m and AdsHeyzap.h?

ar2rsawseen · July 2015

No, I think AdsHeyzap.m and AdsHeyzap.h and Heyzap.framework should be all files that needs to be updated.
I'll retry tonight to see if I can reproduce the issue
