    I've just added the Applovin sdk and wrote up the script to display a banner ad on my android application and i get the following error

    Seems like an issue with the sdk itself and im not sure on where to start on resolving this. Found nothing useful on google either.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Looking at your log, it looks like you're running in the editor, is that right? I don't think AppLovin works in editor or on desktop; you'll have to test on device. You can work around the exception by just checking 
    #if !UNITY_EDITOR
    before showing the ad (although really I think this is a bug in the AppLovin SDK - ideally it would handle this situation and show a placeholder).

    Cheers,
    Sam

    I've thought of that myself. I've already tried a build and ran it on an android device - it breaks the game. some functions don't work and the banner ad does not show either. I've raised it with Applovin support so just waiting to see what they say.

    will update this in-case anyone else experiences this issue.

    Hello.
    I've downloaded AppLovin demo application and it's not working in the editor. I've tried building the application and installing it on android device, but it does not show up in the menu. I cannot find it through search too. It's like it's even had not been installed. But I found it in the settings (Installed apps) menu. I've tried installing it on other device. Everything is same. I'm just saying that I've put my SDK key in the Android manifest and in the script that should be showing ads.
    What may be the issue?
