  • Holy cow, I finally got the ads to show. My initial problem was that when I was trying to set up monetization, Facebook created a separate app and added the Audience Network feature to it. I deleted, then reconnected via business manager following your tips, and then it took a few hours to show ads. Thanks!

    Glad I could help! Nice that you got it working.

    Happy easter everyone! (I guess facebook review will be closed until tuesday now anyway )

  • Events? Kind of all of them

    The issue can’t be in construct for this. Since I guess it works for everyone except you.

    Do they work in you browser?

    Try different sound files, with different sample rates etc

  • For me webm works fine on both my ipad (air2) anp my iphone (7). Both on iOS 11.2

    Ok, thanks. I'll check that out.

    But when you go to your App Dashboard, do you have an Audience Network app listed with same name as your Instant Game like I described previously?

    No I do not have any other apps in the App Dashboard than the ones I have created myself.

    When/If you have it correctly sey up the Audience Network will have a green light under Products on your App (within App Dashboard)

  • Facebook created an Audience Network for my game. Same name of game with "- Audience Network" appended to it.

    Is this necessary to show ads?

    If so, does this need to have Instant Games enabled?

    Or do you just leave it alone?

    in FB business manager you need to have your app registered as a deta source. Data Sources -> Apps

    In the Properties you need to have a property registered, where your app is an asigned asset. Data sources->Properties

    Then in monetization manager you set up your property with Instant ads, and the ID you get there is the one you fill in into Construct events.

    you can look into your app, under ADvanced and verify thet the business manager is linked there as well.

    (this is how I did it, but you can maybe do it in many different ways! I can also say that their layout/setup changes very often, so evrytime you look into this manager the setup is different )

  • Yes, we are describing the same thing. But we obviously work differently

    It also got a bit confusing since you actually removed your message in the thread after I had replied to it. now it is just a link to your (great) tutorial!

    But you can do it either way. Either: 1. You do a full setup first, then test. 2. Test it thru out the way.

    Obviously you and I did it a bit different, you did nr1, I did nr2.

    I first just created an app, tested it (just see if I found it). Then uploaded zip, tested it. Then added leaderboard, tested it. Added ads, tested it. Added pictures, description, video, tested it. Then sent for review.

    Both way works.

    Sleep well! see ya tomorrow

  • come with a answer that helps and not trolls next time. cheers if you guys still need any help just follow the tutorial in the end you will have to get all the steps in tutorial done better do them from beginning without being confused later on. its a pain going back trying to figure out what to put where. have fun.

    I just replied that if someone just want to test their own app, see how it looks etc, they can find their own app without filling in all fields. They can fill in more info later before they go to review. that was basically the only thing I said.

    but if you think I'm a troll, okay.

  • I found my game in Messenger and was able to play it. Works fine. But does the game need to be approved in order for ads to show? I haven't seen any ads load.

    No, if you have it set up correctly the ads will work fine. Without any approvement (nor approved in monetize manger, or on the app.)

    So if they do not show up something is wrong in your case.

    Here is a tip. Search for the game in the Instant Games section in Facebook on your computer, if you are logged in as the same user who are admin of the game you will always be able to find it. just like in Messenger. Then open the Chrome console and play the game. The Instant Games API has good error messages for everyting. So this is a good tip for everuone regardless of what is not working, leaderboard, ads or whatever. Because there you will get error messages on what is going wrong!

  • I have the leaderboard working now....however I am struggling where to put the event "Load Leaderboard" because there is always a delay, it does take a while to load the scores. This obviously does not help the flow of the game.

    i have it in the "on start of layout" or what the name is again on the "main" screen. same screen as the leaderboard. then "on leaderboard loaded" I populate the board. Sometimes it goes instantly, sometimes it take a second. depending on the connection of the phone

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • You dont have to set up anyting special to test the app yourself. the app will be visble in your messenger directly when you create it, under ’In development’. Since you are the administrator.

    You dont even need to upload any zip or anything to see the app. (But to play it, you need to upload ofcourse 😊).

    So to test your app you can start testing without any pictures, videos, appleID, privacy policy, set to Live, or anything. ads, leaderboards, sharing, etc works while in test.

    When you go for review and release, then you need all those obove setup correctly.

  • I think the game was very cool!

    I played for several minutes, many many levels, but then I needed to continue with my job ( ). So I just waited so I would die.. But it just kept playing and playing?

  • Not possible. Try the search function next time.
