Can't connect to unityAds, if internet connection is gained after game has started

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

I’m using unityAds, and I ran into a an issue with Ad initialization.

If the game is started with no internet connection, it fails to initialize Ads.
This makes sense, however Ads never initialize, even if an internet connection is gained at some point during the game, unless the whole game is restarted with an internet connection.

I’m using Unity 5.1.2f1, and the fixes in Unity 5.3 don’t help me

So, any solutions?

Did you find a fix to this? I’m having same problem

You’ll need UnityAdsHelper (I had to change some things in the scripts to make it work with my version of Unity; if I’m remembering correctly).

You should be fine, with your version.

Get UnityAdsHelper here

found this example script

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class InternetConnectionCheckExample : MonoBehaviour 
{
	
	private bool unityAdsInitialized = false;//can be used for informing the user about the status


	// Use this for initialization
	void Awake () 
	{
		StartCoroutine("checkInternetConnection");
	}
	
	public IEnumerator checkInternetConnection()
	{
		float timeCheck = 2.0f;//will check google.com every two seconds
		float t1;
		float t2;
		while(!unityAdsInitialized)
		{
			WWW www = new WWW("http://google.com");
			t1 = Time.fixedTime;
			yield return www;
			if (www.error == null)//if no error
			{
				#if UNITY_ANDROID
				//Advertisement.Initialize(androidGameID); // initialize Unity Ads.
				UnityAdsHelper.Initialize(); // initialize Unity Ads.
				#elif UNITY_IOS
				UnityAdsHelper.Initialize(); // initialize Unity Ads.
				#endif
				
				unityAdsInitialized = true;
				
				break;//will end the coroutine
			}
			t2 = Time.fixedTime - t1;
			if(t2 < timeCheck)
				yield return new WaitForSeconds(timeCheck - t2);
		}
