    Adverts with new PlugIn System

    edited February 2017 in Plugins
    So it is time again to add adverts, leaderboards, achievements, and in app purchases in my latest game. As you might have guessed, it has turned to custard almost immediately.

    I am using the latest Gideros build and I couldn't seem to get even adverts working so I made a new test program...
    application:setFps(60)
application:setBackgroundColor(0x000000)
stage:setOrientation(Stage.LANDSCAPE_LEFT)
 
require "ads"
 
admob = Ads.new("admob")
 
application:setBackgroundColor(0x008000)
    Now when exporting to device it crashes with the following spaghetti...

      Well, by the look of it Admob provider isn't installed. Didn't you tick Admob under the Ads plugin settings ? Btw, Admob is the only platform I couldn't test, I would have been more confident if you choosed unity or applovin...

      @hgy29 yep I checked "enable admob support". Do I also need to include the google play services and gaming plugins as well?

      Well until I can get some help with this I'll work on other things. I'm happy to report that gaming plugin manages to not crash and logs in without any issues :)

      I'll make up some leaderboards and stuff and test those this afternoon.

      Just for anyone reading this, this was a bug in ads.gplugin script. Fixed for next version.
