Ads Interface issue: iAd banner Stops displaying after app is sent to background

eezing

iAd banner appears to stop displaying when:

1. On return from device sleep lasting around a minute or more.

2. On return from app background state lasting around a minute or more.

Fail and error events aren't not being triggered so not sure what the issue is.

Any ideas?

Hello @eezing
Yes, true, just tested with AdsInterface and simple iad implementation, the behavior is the same.
After coming back from background iad tries to refresh the ad, in which case it can fail to do so.
But I do receive AD_FAILED event.
Even trying on my published apps, I see it being fall backed to other ad provider in case of failure.

Which IOS version and device you tested it on?
Also can you provide a sample code that is not working for you?

OK, it appears the AD_FAILED event is working fine. Event error message:

"The operation couldn’t be completed. Ad was unloaded from this banner"

So I guess my issue is that I'm seeking the same behavior as the Gideros iAd plugin where it would re-load upon fail.

easy

local iad = Ads.new("iad") local requestCount = 0 iad:addEventListener(Event.AD_FAILED, function(e) --completely optional, but --in case user does not have an internet connection, --lets not be inefficient --and stop at 10 consequent requests requestCount = requestCount + 1 if requestCount < 10 then iad:showAd("banner") end end) iad:addEventListener(Event.AD_RECEIVED, function(e) requestCount = 0 end) iad:showAd("banner")

Ok, that makes sense. I'll give that a shot, thanks for the help!
