App Crashing When Banner Ad is Displayed

shadowhunterX21 · May 2, 2019, 7:23pm

Hi so I am having a strange issue. I have a banner ad that shows up a few seconds after starting the game that I developed. Test ads work just fine, the Unity Ads test ad shows up in the banner after a few seconds the game has started. But I am trying to get production ads to work (real ads), and I have set testMode to false. I have also Forced test mode OFF in the operate dashboard. But when I start the game and when the banner is supposed to show up, the game just closes itself on my Android device. Here are the logs from logcat:

Hi there. We tested your script and found that the gameID you provided for Android had a typo. If you change this to the correct id you should be able to load a banner. We were not able to reproduce the crash you described.

shadowhunterX21 · May 3, 2019, 5:22am

Yes sorry I changed that for testing, but even with the correct gameID it still won’t work.
But now I found something.
So I added this line:

Advertisement.Banner.Load(bannerPlacement);

and then the real ad displayed a few times, but after three tries it stopped displaying
Now the banner won’t display at all
in the log now I get a new error:

Hi there, sorry to hear you’re still getting errors. Which version of ads sdk are you using? And how did you install it?

shadowhunterX21 · May 3, 2019, 10:58pm

I believe it is verison 3.0.3. It was already installed when I installed Unity. I also uninstalled it and reinstalled it through the package manager in Unity editor.

unity_akeem · May 7, 2019, 9:18pm

I see. Are you using the Unity IAP SDK? Also, are you using Unity IAP Promo? And which version of Unity are you using? The code you shared doesn’t have any references to IAP. Can you share the latest version of your code and the scripts referencing IAP?
