    Hi,

    You are receiving these errors as we're experiencing store detail refreshing issues due to problems in another service.

    It'll hopefully be resolved by itself shortly.

    You can monetize your game with Unity Ads even though your store details aren't set yet so don't worry in that regard.

    Apologies for the inconvenience.

    I am still having this issue as well. But apparently it doesn't matter? Then why is this an option in the first place?

    I'm pretty sure it does matter as that is how the advertisement for your app connects people to the Google Play store to download your app. You still can can monetize your game with Unity Ads, meaning that your app will still show other peoples ads and make money that way. However, if you can't advertise your app, then no one will download your app and you're not going to be making much money.

    This issue should now have resolved itself.

    @Tuco if you are still having issues, please submit a ticket and we can review your individual case

    I'm having the same problem today (the first time I've ever tried it). But I wonder if, in my case, it's because my app is still Waiting for Review (in iTunesConnect).

    Should it accept a store ID for an app that's not actually released yet, or not?

    Hi JoeStrout,

    Yes, your game would need to be published onto the store. If you find that you are still having issues once Apple have released your app, then please let us know :)

    Hi :)

    Can you PM me your game ID (from ads dashboard) and your store ID (from Apple). I can add this info for you.

    Thanks

    Hi @stalhandske

    That shouldn't cause the problem.

    I can try to enter the information from my end. Please, can you PM me your game ID and I can add this for you :)

    Hello! :)

    Out of curiosity, what is exactly the point of linking the ads service to the store game ID? As you mentioned it works without it, so what does it do exactly?

    Can unity only find the id once the app is published to the store?

    Correct, we're querying Apple App Store and Google Play Store for the game information. However you can wait linking it to store info until after release.

    I've been having this issue all day, at this point the game has been released for over 14 hours and it still will not let me type in the ID.... I have noticed that I also still can not search the App Store for my game either, I have to look for another one of my games then go to the section that list my other games before I can find it.

    I'm assuming since I can't find it in the App Store yet, that why I can't find to add to Unity Ads.

    Also...

    This was stated a while ago, but I noticed that is $0.00 on all my App Store graphs.

    Never mind, I just saw I'm up to $0.53!!!!!

    ****Update****

    I just woke up and check back on it this, I can now search my game in the App Store by name and guess what? I can now type in the App ID into Unity Ads and find it there too.

    So, I think this error must just real late to App Store processing you app and being able to find it publicly.

    bottom line, "Give it some time."

    Hi Giritech,

    Unity Ads will not work if it is not linked to either the Google Play or Apple App stores.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi @valentin-shemchuk. Don't worry, your game will still make revenue from showing ads, without the store url to your game. But just go and update the link in dashboard afterwards. this way we will get a bit more information about your game from the store, like category of game etc.

    I added Unity ads to my game but in dashboard in Unity ads i see the message "No data for this time period". I can't add google play ID to my game in the dashboard because it becomes red. Ads work on app correctly, but I have earned 0$. What's the problem?
