Help with iADS

I have posted this several times over the last 4 days and haven't had any response so I thought I would try again.

I am not sure if I have added the iADS behavior correctly. When I run my game within the GS Creator on my Mac the iAD shows up at the bottom of the screen (where I wanted it) and seems to work well. When I run it using the GS Viewer the iAD shows up about 1/3 down from the screen and about 1/2 off the screen to the left. It is really weird. I have sent an image to the GS Support but haven't heard anything back yet.

Has anyone else seen this? I have a game ready to submit to Apple but I am afraid to submit it.

Any hints, do you think I did something wrong? I made a separate actor and added it to the top layer of the screen I wanted the iAD to appear and selected bottom in the behavior. I also tried added it to my Background screen (an actor) and I still get the same thing.

Sure hope this makes sense.

    I would create an ad-hoc version so you can install it on your phone through itunes prior to submitting it to apple. That will be exactly what it looks like once it's in the hands of apple (avoiding any differences between the GS Viewer or with the GS Creator Preview), icon and all.

    so generally speaking if i were to just place the iAds within the game and publish like that it would not work?
    OR as settings have been enabled in itunes connect prier to upload to enable this settings in iAd settings.

    Actually to correct myself, I don't know if iAds would show up at all in an adhoc build (would the test iAd graphic show up, or would it be blank since there would be no content/ads being supplied?)..

    However, I've found a couple discrepancies now in "GameSalad Preview" vs. "GS Viewer" vs. "Published" so this bug might be with the GS Viewer specifically, but I guess you wouldn't know until your app got rejected from Apple. That's obviously less than ideal.

    Yes yes that is the problem. Can someone from GS talk to us about this?

    Well mine was approved and I clearly stated that I included iAds and it shows live in iAds but 2 days now and not a single ad has appeared on my game. Maybe it's not calling for ads at all or maybe apple just isn't giving me any yet. Who really knows!

    but you got it to work right? or at least it is were its supposed to be?

    It gives me a GS ad in the creator preview but not on anything else as I don't have the iPhone 4 it will not show in the viewer.

    Thanks for that Chaser I was using an ipod 3g. In the creator it looks just fine but in the ipod is all out of place. So from what I understood from that link is that you cant see them on ipod 3g?

    I just set the paid version to free. So the $$ should change soon.
    Which device do you have? I left the light version by the wayside when I made the full version free. Was thinking of removing the lite version just never got to it.

    I am using right now the iphone4. I will download the paid/free version.
    BTW does your tecknique of changing the price works?
  • ChaserChaser Member Posts: 1,453
    It can dwindle off to 50 downloads a day then I do the price thing and back up to 600+. It's just for advertisement of some of my apps as it was one of my first apps and doesn't bring in any sales of it's own. Seems to help my other apps though!

    I haven't used iads, but in the viewer my text lacks line spacing. If I hit cntrl return, it adds a line in the creator, but not in the viewer. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I've seen the same thing, it's not just you.
