Chartboost Extension - Step by Step How-to document

Thank you Jeff and thanks to Fernando for these new objects that were very necessary for us.

Certainly, not be if Fernando also made Android Video, I ask because yesterday I tried to use it and it gave me an error of execution of those that bounce from MMF to Windows,

I will continue with my tests and I'm reporting if there are failures.

Greetings and thanks again!

A specific question, if I have the same app in iOS (now use Chartboost) and now public it in Android, should create new campaigns or can I use the same that I have configured in iOS?

I put the same App ID and App Signature in MMF, you think that it works?

In a few words I use the same campaign for both versions, the iOS and Android. It be?

No,

Remember that you choose what version of your application it is, and they ask for market or itunes as well the package name and uuid. so you will need to create two apps and two campaign for each of them.

Respect the video object please post in a separate thread to keep a track of it and also a log will be helpful.

Thanks Fernando I imagine that the store was going to refuse, but I noticed. As for the video I will keep trying and I open a new thread for that.

Hello Fernando, this is sufficient to load the Chartboost campaigns in my game?

Of course already set my campaign at Chartboost.

I ask this, because it is compiled and I tried in my Galaxy S3 and in the two screens that place it, makes the loading attempt to, but it shows nothing. Not is if you turn when you turn up the app to Google Play, but want to be sure before doing so.

Thank you very much for your answer,

No is not enough, you need to add a campaign associated to this application and also if you want a "more apps" campaign, if not you will see nothing, but you will get the impression, also Koji, be prepare to send some tax information that is required when yours campaigns are ok and ready to go.

Hello,

Nice Extension and tutorial , thanks you !

I made like explain on Chartboost guide , but interstitials did not appear . i checked from permissions, and it's ok for INTERNET , ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE , ACCESS_WIFI_STATE , WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE .
Chartboost detect the SDK .

Thank you very much Fernando, now solved my problem, was simply because the permissions. Much I appreciate your help! Great support!

Hello,

Nice Extension and tutorial , thanks you !

I made like explain on Chartboost guide and creat a campain for my game on Charboost , but interstitials did not appear . i checked from permissions, and it's ok for INTERNET , ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE , ACCESS_WIFI_STATE , WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE .
Chartboost detect the SDK , detect game install and views, but banners not appears ...

i dont find the problem issue . thanks for your help

Hi,

you will only get from two to seven interstitial a day and this if you fulfill all the requirement, something that i notice they don´t say (chartboost) that, but you need so send the tax information, to be clear to go.

check in your inbox in the dashboard to see if they are asking for it.

hi,

thanks for your reply. ok i will see for tax form .
i forget to tell , but test banners not appears too . i already used the old charboost extension for my ios games, and worked good .
In attachment you can see a screenshot , i think it's ok on the side of multimedia fusion. can you confirm please ?

it not showed because cached fails!

trigger without cache with test values.

As i explain in other post during testing chartboost only deliver two ads per day and after only show the frame.

yes, it's my mistake . works good now . thanks you very much

Do you need any permissions enabled? the document didn't mention it.
btw, why would you cache at 1 second rather than at start of frame?

The permission are mentioned inside the help file (INTERNET, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)

just to let the game load any data before to ask for a cache you can do it at start of frame, depends on your needs.

Hmm... I´m kinda stuck. I can not even export my app with chartboost - i get this error (sorry for so many lines):
