Ads Interface issue

AlaaEddine

Hello, I am trying to integrate admob (for iOS) using the Ads Interface (beta), I did all the installation steps listed in the documentation but I always get this error in XCode:

module 'ads' not found:
no field package.preload['ads']
no file './ads.lua'
no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/ads.lua'
no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/ads/init.lua'
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/ads.lua'
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/ads/init.lua'
no file './ads.so'
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/ads.so'
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so'

the error is happening when trying to execute : require ("ads"), any help please?? Thanks

Hello @AlaaEddine
it seems that the sources to adsbinder.cpp can not be found or are not executed.

So you did copy the Ads folder into Plugins folder of your exported project, right?
And then you added this folder through XCode Add Files to Project and selected the Ads folder or added resources one by one, right?

Thanks now the problem is fixed but I got another error :

To get test ads on this device, call: request.testDevices = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@b857ecdaa43d8160c2f9e8ddfd20d31d, nil];

aha I see, you need to add -ObjC to the Other Linker Flags of your application target's build setting:

Click the blue top-level project icon in XCode (with project name where all the files are listed)
Choose your target and go to Build Settings
Under Other Linker Flags add -ObjC for both Release and Debug

AlaaEddine

Fixed, it works now, I just forgot to add the linker flag in the new project

BTW I will soon update the interface with couple of fixes, but nothing will change on Lua side, as in you can try to integrate it now in your game and then only update the plugin code later

Thank you for your assistance ar2rsawseen that was very helpful
