Any feature requests / suggestions please post below

 

Good job, waiting for ads to be available. Really going to help a lot of people.

EDIT - I see that you have already added interstitial ads, KUDOS to you.
banner ads are also needed, i would gladly pay for banner & interstitial ads to be available.

Again, great job.

 

Hi, i am testing your ads implementation and have an issue.

I wasnt able to display interstitial ads following your method from the website, I noticed that in your ConfigureInterstitalAd method you have used the following code :

Spoiler: Code

Code (CSharp):

1.             WSANativeInterstitialAd.Request += (appId, addUnitId) =>
2.             {
3.                 interstitialAd.RequestAd(AdType.Video, appId, addUnitId);
4.             };

In line 3 you have used AdType.Video but the addUnitId is of Image type.

So I used this ID: 11389925, and it worked.

In Banner events, WSANativeBannerAd.IsEngagedChanged is never fired.

 

Hi Aseemy - Video is currently the only supported type (see here). If you mean the test adunitid is an image one, then yes you are correct that the right value is 11389925.

I'll check WSANativeBannerAd.IsEngagedChanged

 

I understand that video is the only available option, its just that in the sample scene you provided, the addUnitId was not of a video ad, so i checked google and used the correct addUnitId.

I am also unable to test your advertising on an emulator, i get this Exception thrown at me:

Spoiler: Exception

Code (CSharp):

1. Exception thrown at 0x7708210B in Colors Fun and Learn.exe:
2. Microsoft C++ exception: Platform::COMException ^ at memory location 0x0B65F85C.
3. HRESULT:0x80070002 The system cannot find the file specified.
4. WinRT information: The system cannot find the file specified.
5. Stack trace: [External Code]
6.         UniversalXamlAdControl.WindowsPhone.dll!68d9df2e()
7.         UniversalXamlAdControl.WindowsPhone.dll!68da5d54()
8.         UniversalXamlAdControl.WindowsPhone.dll!68de126c()
9. [External Code]
10. If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.

The app never starts, I understand that emulators are x86 and the plugin might only be compatible with ARM, but I do need to test the non ad parts of my game as well. It would be cumbersome to remove advertising each time i put a new update to test it on emulator.

One small thing - In the setup section of Interstitial Ads on your Documentation page:

Spoiler: Code

Code (CSharp):

1. private void ConfigureInterstitalAd()
2. {
3.     InterstitialAd interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd();
4.     interstitialAd.AdReady += (s, e) => { WSANativeInterstitialAd.RaiseActionOnAppThread(WSANativeInterstitialAd.AdReady); };
5.     interstitialAd.ErrorOccurred += (s, e) => { WSANativeInterstitialAd.RaiseActionOnAppThread(WSANativeInterstitialAd.ErrorOcurred); };
6.     interstitialAd.Completed += (s, e) => { WSANativeInterstitialAd.RaiseActionOnAppThread(WSANativeInterstitialAd.Completed); };
7.     interstitialAd.Cancelled += (s, e) => { WSANativeInterstitialAd.RaiseActionOnAppThread(WSANativeInterstitialAd.Cancelled); };
8.     WSANativeInterstitialAd.Request += (appId, addUnitId) =>
9.     {
10.         interstitialAd.RequestAd(AdType.Video, appId, addUnitId);
11.     };
12.     WSANativeInterstitialAd.Show += () =>
13.     {
14.         AppCallbacks.Instance.InvokeOnUIThread(() =>
15.         {
16.             if (interstitialAd.State == InterstitialAdState.Ready)
17.             {
18.                 interstitialAd.Show();
19.             }
20.         }, false);
21.     };
22.     WSANativeInterstitialAd.Close += () =>
23.     {
24.         if (interstitialAd.State == InterstitialAdState.Showing)
25.         {
26.             interstitialAd.Close();
27.         }
28.     };
29. }

In line 5 there is a typo, WSANativeInterstitialAd.ErrorOcurred should be WSANativeInterstitialAd.ErrorOccurred. Double c (cc) instead of a single one in Occurred.

Edit - Is there a feature request section in your website? If so let me know I'll post there as well.
1. Ability to share text/image to social apps like whatsapp and facebook.
2. Ability to take a screenshot and save to camera roll

 

When you were running on the emulator what platform was it? (i.e 8.1 Universal / 10 Universal etc)

 

app made from unity 5.3.4
module was windows phone 8.1 (not universal)
visual studio 2015 community
windows 10 64 bit professional

Another issue I am facing is pressing the back button while the video ad is playing. The back button does skip the video but then fires again on the current scene as well.
I have setup my scene such that if back button is pressed then go to previous screen.
In Unity and Admob video ads on android when i press the back button, only the video is skipped and my scene does not change. But here when i press back button, the video is skipped then my scene is changed as well.

A fix i made was that i created a boolean to check if video is playing and only implement my back button when the video is not playing. See if its possible to fix it at your end.

 

Interstitial ads are only supported on Universal 8.1 and Universal 10 - that could be why you are seeing errors when attempting to run on the emulator for Silverlight 8.1

 

Interstitial test ads are working for me

EDIT - Only test ads are working, neither banner or interstitial video are working on my live app.
hmm, Unity IAP is also not working on my live app.

Unity IAP is working on the android live app but not on windows.
Gonna try your IAP for windows now.

 

Did you configure your live ads through dev center and enter the real appid and adunitid it gave you?

 

i got the ids through here, banner and interstitial. i see that video ads arent shown in my country but the banner ads should work. i set the size of banner to 320x50, working in tesdt ads but not in my ad unit.

 

Should I post on your website for support?

 

Hi Aseemy - yep please contact me through the website.

When did the price change? I was watching this thread for the past few months as I know I would need it, but did not download it when it was free as I didn't need it yet. I wish unity would allow you to purchase free assets without downloading them; I already missed SpeedTree's Black Gum tree when it was free because of this.

 

Hi, if you download the asset into a blank project, then you'll be able to use it in future in any project I think.

 

You can download the project, and when it asks you to import it click on cancel. the asset will be stored in your library.
BTW its just $10, great support from author.
I have it for free, but with the first $10 i make from the app i am using this on i will buy the asset.

Seriously, he has helped me for over a month answering various questions, and that too when the asset was free.

Hi all. Im new to Unity and C# , can u help me with share button implementation in my project ? what windows native store script to use for share ? Tnx in advance .

 

Share feature is not yet present in this plugin. Anyone correct me if i am wrong.

 

Tnx mate. My mistake ,Im still noob. Im having a lot of troubles and will post soon my questions hope u have a lot of patients

 

Guys, we are looking at adding the Facebook share feature at the moment

 

Thank you for working on this feature, please consider also to add "take screenshot and share it" feature (using the native sharing menu of WP/Win10).

 

Ok noted.

 

[Updated to add show/hide banner ads, check if a Facebook page is liked and read any Facebook graph Api edge]

 

[Updated to add Facebook dialogs, native share and screenshots]

 

in the facebook share feature, can we check if the user has actually shared something? then give them a reward based on it.

 

You'd probably have to look at what is on their timeline as I don't think the share dialog returns a result.

 

[Updated to add Facebook support for Windows 8.1]

 

When I follow the web instructions for using intertitial ads from Microsoft, "InterstitialAdManager.cs" throws me a compilation error: WSANativeInterstitialAd has no definition for RaiseActionOnAppThread. I'm missing something?

 

Ping us a message http://claytoninds.com/#support

 

I have tried it, many times, but always gives the error "Send CAPTCHA Verification Failed" Although the captcha is checked as ok. Is there another way to contact you?

 

Well spotted, looks like the CAPTCHA is broken - I'll get it fixed. Support email is clayton.inds+support@gmail.com

 

I cannot use it anymore with 2017.2.

Assets\WSANative\Facebook\WSAFacebookApi.cs(66,38): error CS0104: 'Grid' is an ambiguous reference between 'Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Grid' and 'UnityEngine.Grid'

 

In the WSAFacebookApi.cs file just replace Grid with Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Grid

 

Sorry for the late reply, fixed in the latest update.

 

Any news on Facebook + IL2CPP ?

 

Working on it at the mo

 

Hello,
I am using old store api.

I am getting empty list when I fire this function

WSANativeStore.GetProductListings((List<WSAProduct> products) =>
{
});

Am I missing something?

 

Think I just replied to your email

 

Hi!
Thank you for awsome asset!
I have strange problem.
I want to show ads in my game. I added AdDuplex SDK, complete all your instractions from documentation.
But when I try to build IL2CPP build I get error: "LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'E:\Unity.obj'".

Please help.

I found what's wrong, Path to VS project have spaces. After I deleted spaces package was builded successfully.
But now I have another probllem.
Certification test is fail with error:
"File C:\Program Files\windowsapps\62722vladimirshenkel.businessclicker_1.0.5.0_x86__fadg4j0pa47d6\clrcompression.dll has failed the AppContainerCheck check.
File C:\Program Files\windowsapps\62722vladimirshenkel.businessclicker_1.0.5.0_x86__fadg4j0pa47d6\clrjit.dll has failed the AppContainerCheck check."

Does anyone have same problem?
Does anyone use AdDuplex with IL2CPP backend?

 

Any good news about AdDuplex and IL2CPP?

 

I have the same problem. We are now obliged to use IL2CPP for UWP as .NET is depricated.
Any one has any leads (all the solutions I find online only have to do with enabling .Net native toolchain, but that is only for C#)

 

I posted a fix for the Certification issue: https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-2019-1-il2cpp-net-native.735485/

Not related to AdDuplex itself, but should help.
