Why is RevMob complaining about some missing session?

seppsepp

Hi @all,

I just noticed RevMob is telling Xcode something about a missing session. Message:

WARNING: USING ADS WITHOUT STARTING A SESSION COULD PRODUCE UNPREDICTED BEHAVIOUR!

Is this message critical?


Thanks in advance for your help.

@seppsepp do you use setKey method?
Because that is when plugin uses key and starts the session
You should do that before any other calls to ads, as load, show, etc.

Thanks for your reply, @ar2rsawseen.

Yes, that's exactly what I do.

self.ad = Ads.new(self.providerId) self.ad:setKey(self.mediaId)

I made sure, that providerId and mediaId are set .

Maybe this warning is responsible for some mysterious problem I have with RevMob ads. The ads, even in testing mode, don't appear from time to time.

In Plugins/Ads/frameworks/AdsRevmob.m

Is there a method?

-(void)setKey:(NSMutableArray*)parameters{ [RevMobAds startSessionWithAppID:[parameters objectAtIndex:0]]; }

seppsepp

Yes, there is such a method. Line 25 - 27.

Can you put NSLog(@Setting key and starting session); there to see if it is being called properly?

Gets called, I guess.
