applovin / applovin-max-unreal Goto Github PK

Why documentation is so poor? You are a billion-dollar company, right?
Your official documentation is so confusing that I barely was able to show ads. But that's without all the setup for GDPR and God knows what other things I have to set up. Probably will take weeks to figure this out. Can't set up mediation for hours now. Other companies' plugin much easier to implement. Only reason to use applovin sdk was Yandex ads. I mean that's ONLY reason.

Shame on you Applovin.

IOS 16.3.1

Current Behavior

HI there, I've documented all my steps I took while having the following issues while following instructions to prepare mediation networks page.

When I package my game for iOS im getting error in ue stating that
warning: directory not found for option '-F/Volumes/SSD1/Users/caataiwi/Library/Games/UE_5.1/Engine/Intermediate/UnzippedFrameworks/AppLovinMediationFacebookAdapter/AppLovinMediationFacebookAdapter.embeddedframework' UATHelper: Packaging (IOS): ld: framework not found AppLovinMediationFacebookAdapter UATHelper: Packaging (IOS): clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I checked the directory it's looking for the mediationfacebook adapter, and as you can see in the screenshot below its there, but im not finding it. Can someone help me with this please to see why im getting error and build failed.

I do want to add that on step 3 when I ran "Run install_adapters.py to download the adapters." it installed a zip file that was empty, when I tried to click it I said can't open because its empty, so I ended up downloading from you site manually and zipping it up. Here is the zip in screenshot below that I replaced the original zip folder that was generated .

this is the download on your site where I got that file from. see screenshot below

I also went to facebooks developer site to download the meta audience network sdk, but I when I ran into the first issue, I decided to leave that step out for now so I can isolate each problem im having, ie resolving one issue first.

Expected Behavior

Game should package successfully with applovin and Facebook mediation sdk and adapters.

How to Reproduce

While following instructions to prepare mediation networks in the following page (https://dash.applovin.com/documentation/mediation/unreal/mediation-adapters) I am encountering a few issues. The screenshot below is the steps I'll be following in my guide here:

1. In a terminal, I followed instructions and went to the folder to the Source/ThirdParty/IOS/Adapters/ directory in the plugin.
2. While following instructions (Create a Podfile in that directory for the adapters you want to integrate.) I created PodFile and stored it in the directory.

I placed my pod file that I created in this directory , screenshot below:

Screenshot below of what I put in my pod file:

3. I clicked Run install_adapters.py to download the adapters. Here is screenshot below of the step I took:

While running install_adapters.py terminal comes up and I get the following results in terminal

4. This is where I will run into my first issue. When I package unreal engine, I get an error stating that the zip file im stating here is empty. Here is the steps and what I did in step 4. While following the instructions to "Copy the build rules generated by install_adapters.py into AppLovinMAX.Build.cs." During this step I have placed the build rules into my AppLovinMax.Build.cs file. see screenshot below box.

5.

Downloaded the META adapter for mediation. see screenshot

6 With the download above, I downloaded to my downloads folder, as in the screenshot, and renamed and zipped it to my Plugins..../IOS folder.

When I build my package I get this error

Additional Info

Please let me know if you need any additional info, I know this is a lot, so I would be happy to make a video listing the steps I took, or if you need me to hop on a call. please let me know if there is anything else I can do or any more info I need to provide. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

No response

This might sound like a noob question, but: are there any dependencies that need to be taken into account when initializing the SDK ?

I have a project, blueprints only. The project is live on google play, without any other issues.

I'm using UE 4.27.1, AppLovin plugin 1.0.1.

With the demo project provided (no other plugins enabled) I have the same issue, no errors when building, just crash on SDK Initialize.

Thanks

MAX Plugin Version

1.1.1

Unreal Engine Version

4.27

Device/Platform Info

Android

Current Behavior

I've faced a problem when trying to build my project for Android using Max plugin.

In Project settings "Generate Bundle" is set to true, but after building my package I get two .aab files: "-arm64.aab" and "-armv7.aab".

But without plugin after building we got one .aab file.

Expected Behavior

I've expected that with "Generate Bundle" is set to true I'll get one .aab file.

How to Reproduce

Build project on Unreal Engine 4.27 for Android with AppLovin's MAX plugin with "Generate Bundle" set to true.

Device/Platform Info

IOS, Android

Current Behavior

Issue 1: when I go to the following site I am suppose to click the check boxes (to generate Implement SKAdNetwork code) which should generate the code I need to add to my application, however all the code is showing up, its not filtering by the checkboxes I select. see attached screenshot.
https://dash.applovin.com/documentation/mediation/unreal/getting-started/skadnetwork-info

Issue 2: Im not seeing anywhere in the documentation to implement any of the ad types, (ie banner, interstitial etc) via blueprint, is it possible to do this via blueprint vs c++ code for unreal engine. and if it is not currenlty possible is it currently on the roadmap, as our game studios leverages blueprints only. Many thanks.

Expected Behavior

issue 1: when I click the check boxes to implement SKAdNetwork, the page will only render the SkAdnetworks I choose from the checkboxes, right now its choosing all of them.

issue 2: any blueprint documentation on the site? not seeing any.

How to Reproduce

For issue 1:

1. go to https://dash.applovin.com/documentation/mediation/unreal/getting-started/skadnetwork-info
2. click the checkbox for the add networks you are using
3. then the list below should only show the ad networks you checked in the checkboxes above.

For issue 2: Blueprint instructions should be included on git or on the documentation page for unreal engine.

Many thanks :)

Current Behavior

I install the plugin to unreal engine and while trying to build the application I get the following error below. Been trying for all this week and still no avail, any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Sarah

Expected Behavior

The game/application should build successfully without error, and package successfully

How to Reproduce

1. First lets down load the plugin. I navigate to the GIT repo, and download the plugin folder
   

2. Go to your downloads and find the folder we just downloaded and copy the plugin from the plugin folder
   

3. Put the applovin max plugin in your projects plugin folder
   

4. Find your [yourgame/appname].target.cs file within your project folder, open with text editor and add the following below

// Add compiler argument to support building on macOS with Xcode 13.3+
bOverrideBuildEnvironment = true;
AdditionalCompilerArguments = "-Wno-unused-but-set-variable";

5. Add AppLovinMAX as a dependency to the PublicDependencyModuleNames array inside of your app’s .Build.cs file:

Add AppLovinMAX as a dependency to the PublicDependencyModuleNames array inside of your app’s .Build.cs file:
for example:
PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "AppLovinMAX" });

Screenshot of me adding it to my app, our public dependency module name line is formatted by default different than yours, so I used it the way my project has it in in default with adding the applovin, input core, engine, and coreuobject. and I also tired it with your exact formate. see below

V

(I just noticed that after I save this file and re open it, my changes save to the run.build.cs file, however when I try to package the app, and it fails, I go back to the run.build.cs file and it reverts back to default, is that expected? see below for the default that it reverts back to

now I try it exactly the way you have it in your instructions, and tried building package and still not working. it still also reverts back to default when package fails.

6. Update your app’s Info.plist in Unreal’s Project Settings with network-specific identifiers. See the SKAdNetwork documentation for instructions.

7. Open your project, to go file > package > IOS

8. After few seconds, I get the following error

Additional note: When I remove the plugin and revert all my changes I made, I can successfully package the IOS and upload it to apples test flight.

If anyone can please help us with what we are doing wrong here. I want to note we have't yet implemented any blueprints or code specific to the plugin, we wanted to make sure that we can package the game after we installed the plugin to make sure nothing broke. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. :)
