Problem with iAds

ar2rsawseen

Hello all,
today I first time tried out a Gideros to export Xcode project and try it on IOS device. And I have some problems with iAds plugin.
Basically if I use this iads code:

if application:getDeviceInfo() == "iOS" then require "iad" if iad and iad.isAvailable() then banner = iad.Banner.new(iad.Banner.TOP, iad.Banner.LANDSCAPE) banner:show() -- show it because newly created banners are not visible by default end end

export project to xcode and launch it on my device or simulator I get "Thread1:EXEC_BAD_ACCESS(code=2,address=0x20)" on line

void updateFramePosition() { CGRect frame = view_.frame; //Thread1:EXEC_BAD_ACCESS(code=2, address=0x20)

Is there anything I need to add to the project? I see that iads framework is already added, etc. So what am I doing wrong, and where should I look for more clues/errors/logs in xcode, etc. Really new to all xcode/ios stuff.

I have just looked at iad.mm and it appears that you have a modified version. The line

CGRect frame = view_.frame; --Thread1:EXEC_BAD_ACCESS(code=2, address=0x20)

contains lua comments instead of C/C++ comments. Change the -- to // and it should work.

ar2rsawseen

No no, sorry, it was me putting the comment to specify where the error was.

Maybe I need to enable ads in developer account, or something else?
And will ads run on simulator or only on device? (talking about debug)

Scouser

Doh!!!! :-\"

and by the way it works ok in Gideros Player, shows Test Advertisement

hi @ar2rsawseen ,
this code snippet works well on my device.

ar2rsawseen

So you simply put in in Gideros project, export to xcode project. Run xcode project on simulator/device and it runs ok?
no other steps needed?

I couldn't crash it with player and with exported project. But according to your info (crashed at function updateFramePosition), I suspect from a bug. I'll update this thread when I catch a clue.

ar2rsawseen

I can try to send you my sample project, screen video of everything I'm doing and all system specs. Ask for anything that could help
Still I'm kind of thinking, why me? Maybe its my fault after all?

Hi @ar2rsawseen,

Can you test this new iAd plugin? I guess that orientationDidChange notification is called before iAd view is created. Therefore I've put an extra if statement.

ar2rsawseen

@atilim no unfortunately same thing happens, the fact that it happens only to me gives me notion, that I'm doing something wrong.

I've prepared sample Gideros project and exported IOS project I'm using, which gets this error.

http://appcodingeasy.com/AdsTestGideros.zip
http://appcodingeasy.com/AdsTestIOS.zip

And I'm running on Mac mini Software OS X 10.8 (12A269) with Xcode Version 4.4.1 (4F1003)

And don't tell me that you don't get any errors when running these projects

atilim

@ar2rsawseen Your project crashes but when I replaced the old iad.mm with the new one it worked without problem. Also clean and build your project after replacing iad.mm.

ar2rsawseen

Good to know, I'm totally new to Mac and all IOS things. Thank you @atilim

ar2rsawseen

Yes, I confirm that it works. Thank you again!

@ar2sawseen, do you plan to make tutorial how to add iads to application for nonMac users too?

ar2rsawseen

@unlying
well, you simple take what there is in documentation and since the newest Gideros version, there is nothing you need to do additionally. Only problem that iads will work only on IOS Gideros player or IOS exported xcode project

unlying

Thanks. It looks like my macos works pretty unstable. I can run xcode and project will not compile, close it, open again and it will works %)
Will try to deploy my first iOS app soon. Looks like it works in iOS Simulator.

Hi @ar2rsawseen

When I use "iad" in version 2014.01 of Gideros and my configuration is

iad.Banner.new(iad.Banner.BOTTOM, iad.Banner.LANDSCAPE)

When I use Gideros Player in iPhone, the result in my screen is as if I had coded this:

iad.Banner.new(iad.Banner.BOTTOM, iad.Banner.PORTRAIT)

But banner has height of Landscape and seem it doesn't rotate. :-?
Do you know how solve this?

P.S. In project properties Orientation is Landscape

ar2rsawseen

@HubertRonald well there can be 2 problems:
1) that is probably because you have all orientations selected xCode, you need to only leave landscapes there on the main tab
2) for some reason property file did not copy over (that happened once before: http://giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/comment/32513#Comment_32513)

Hi @ar2rsawseen thank for your replay

1) I tried first option in GiOSPlayer and Xcode give me this


----------------------------------------------------------------------
2014-04-08 11:59:01.088 GiOSPlayer[334:60b] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'UIApplicationInvalidInterfaceOrientation', reason: 'Supported orientations has no common orientation with the application, and shouldAutorotate is returning YES'
*** First throw call stack:
(0x2e50afd3 0x38cb7ccf 0x2e50af15 0x30d984fb 0x30d981d5 0x30d97ea5 0x82f9f 0x30d965a7 0x30d95efb 0x30d9058b 0x30d2c709 0x30d2b871 0x30d8fcc9 0x33344aed 0x333446d7 0x2e4d5ab7 0x2e4d5a53 0x2e4d4227 0x2e43ef4f 0x2e43ed33 0x30d8eef1 0x30d8a16d 0x8210f 0x82098)
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
(lldb)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

2) Also read second option and I thought that maybe when GiOPlayer was created the preference in project was Portrait and not LandScape how this image.



Maybe in my final project when I'll create the file for Xcode (keeping in mind your suggestions) I will not have this problem.

Thanks again.

ar2rsawseen

Yes, this is a bug when using Gideros player (unfortunately for now Gideros player can be used only in portrait mode)

On real app it should work. Also don't forget to enable AutoRotation.

The bug will be fixed as lots of fixes/changes coming to orientation
