Google play ads

ShadowMoon

are google play compatible with Chartboost and RevMob? Is there a way to set up leaderboard for it?

There are currently no ads for Android ... Chartboost and RevMob will be here soon. There is Game Circle for Amazon similar to Apple Game Centre Leaderboards ... etc No way to setup leaderboards for Google Play at the moment ;-)

are you sure? because Chartboost and RevMob are working with Nightly Built.
Just wondering how to set up those? Click on Chartboost and RevMob when generate app, and create accounts?

Yeah I'm sure ... You can enable interstitial ads between scenes and when you pause the game. You need to check the box which says enable advertisement in creator. After you have done that you select RevMob or Chartboost when you publish your app. You have to setup accounts with RevMob and ChartBoost. You will get an identifier that needs to be entered under services when you publish your app for ChartBoost or RevMob as well. This option has been removed last time I checked as the work is not complete yet. It used to be there.

You can only use RevMob with IOS apps only and you can't select Chartboost. It is an early release. You just need to give it a little time till they iron out the bugs.

I packaged an app with 0.220 with RevMob implemented and had the following issues:


1 - If I choose RevMob start-up ad: The game would display a black screen after the splash screen. No ad loads and the game does not start. It is like it can't get an ad and there is no time out so it just hangs. I have to stop the app to get out of it.

2 - If I deselect the RevMob start-up ad and only use RevMob Interstitial ads: No ads are served. When I play the game and return to the home screen the game freezes. Returning to the home screen should display an ad. I have to stop the app to get out of it. I have the Interstitial ads setup when I pause the game and in between some scenes.

You can't enter the identifiers atm as I just checked so you can't enable the options till the work is complete.

Hope this helps.

just wondering when GS will get this done? is there a timeline i can look at? Because if you made app with advertisement in it, you simply lose android side customers.
