Hello, people. I have a question about performance. I heard that combining meshes increases performance, but I don't know the correct limits. I mean: if I have a city, should I combine the elements that form a house? Should I combine all the houses? Should I combine all the meshes in the map?

guys can somebody tell me why is my ui showing in remote unity but not showing in build game
I got level one, and there is two ui elements which are prefabs and they are not showing when I play the apk build

Make sure you changed the Canvas Scaler on the Canvas to "Scale With Screen Size". Drag the Slider to the right. Than go in the Asset Store and download the Letterbox Asset. After doing this, go to GameObject and select Create Force Camera Ratios Object. Set the default color. Do this for all Scenes. This Asset makes, that your game will be presented the same way on different Screen Sizes. The Canvas Scaler does the same with the Height.

Why doesn't this work? I'm testing this with my mouse btw, but I have simulateButtonWithTouches enabled.
void Update() {
if (Input.touchCount > 0) {
Touch Touch = Input.GetTouch(0);
Vector3 TouchPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Touch.position);
if (TouchPosition.x < 0) {
this.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 90);
PlayerFacing = "Left";
}
}
}
I also added a print that prints the touch count each frame, but when i hold down my mouse it still prints 0.
warm adder
Did you mean simulateMouseWithTouches? Didn't find simulateButtonWithTouches in the documentation. If so, I think this bool means that you can simulate mouse with touches, not simulate touches with mouse.
plush osprey
I meant simulateMouseWithTouches
Oh
So i'll have to build the app and see if the mobile movement works?
warm adder
Hm I guess so. Maybe there is a way to simulate touches with mouse. Quickly searched the google and found this: https://romanluks.eu/blog/how-to-simulate-touch-with-mouse-in-unity/ but didn't tested it myself so I'm not sure if this works 😉

Heya folks, I did already some googling but only found some old forum topics. What I ultimately need for my android app to do is this:
- at some point a timer starts counting down
- the players can put the app into the background/suspending it
- the timer should still run
- when the timer hits a specific point I want to play a sound the player should be able to hear, for example if they have headphones on
Especially the part with the sound. Is this out-of-the-box possible with Unity?

@muted vault a quick Q, have u used admob before?

No, but isn't that an ad-service?

Hey there, I am making a kind of air combat simulator (basically a flight sim) for android. Obviously I need to use the accelerometer to control the aircraft but when I play the game on the phone, the controls are centered ( x=0, y=0, z=0 for control surfaces) when the phone is facing up, so if it's laying on a table. I want to calibrate the accelerometer to have those zeroed out values in the position the player is holding the phone at the start. I can't find out how to write the code to do that. Can anyone help me please?

@full pollen I think you can just get the accelerometer values on Start(), store them, and then add that data as an offset whenever you use accelerometer.

Guys, I was learning how to use google firebase in Unity. While I tried to make a build to my android device. It is giving me following error
Do we actually need to download jdk set up an environment variable
It's already happens during unity installation, right?
earnest yacht
@hazy kiln you have something configured on your path that is not looking at the openJDK installed with unity. I had a similar problem because I had an older version of Java installed and it was creating all kinds of headaches. I also believe somewhere in the settings you can change the version of the JDK you are using inside unity
hazy kiln
@earnest yacht , did u solved it?
earnest yacht
@hazy kiln I uninstalled my old java version and reinstalled unity on my case. not sure if it would be the same for you
@hazy kiln check this opost out
hazy kiln
I have latest version installed along with Unity installation
Actually I never installed jdk manually. All I have is the one I just ticked during Unity setup
And I tried to create an environment variable with it's path. But it didn't worked
earnest yacht
ok, then something went awry. Looks like it was a bug on 2019.1
perhaps is updated for the newer versions or LTS versions, if not check that post above, looks like exactly the way to rebind Java_home
earnest yacht
right, that's the one I am talking about
send a screenshot of unity from "Edit->Preferences->External Tools"
earnest yacht
alright, try to do a build again
if not uncheck, and recheck those boxes so unity does the rebind

@hazy kiln post some logs for us to see as well as the initial build you have to have an idea of what is going on. YOu are definitely doing something unity does not like. Here are the steps from google to setup a project as well which I believe you already have https://firebase.google.com/docs/unity/setup

Guy's my android SDK got corrupted is it possible to reinstall them
anybody please help?

Untick it in the Hub if you are using from there. Let uninstall then tick on again.
earnest yacht
@hazy kiln try to remove/reinstall your unity from unityHub. When you reinstall it will ask you to install again the android NDK tools and OpenJDK. Also from the errors you posted is like google does not like OpenJDK on Unity. you can try java -v on the command promt and see if you get any result, that might be part of your issue
hazy kiln
@earnest yacht , no other way ?
earnest yacht
@hazy kiln if your openjdk is corrupt that is how you would reinstall it
hazy kiln
okay
earnest yacht
I dont know any other way of doing it that is not that
hazy kiln
Okay, thank u @earnest yacht

the only other thing you can try is download openjdk on its own and do a local installation, then tell unity to use that version

Hello guys, I really need help. I've been trying to implement parallax to my 2d game, but game becomes too laggy. I've tried several codes I found online, but on mobile fps drops below 40 when using parallax.
maybe it's something with the Update function?
sorry for bad English
plush crater
@north flint that code looks fine. how many GameObjects are you updating with this Parallax effect?
north flint
@plush crater only 2
warm adder
It shouldnt affect performance so badly, maybe try using profiler to find out what's causing lags?
north flint
but for some reason it does, when i remove objects with this script from scene game works fine
plush crater
Do those objects have colliders (but no rigid body)? Moving static colliders can cause performance drop in some cases.

Hey, I have a question if anyone can help me. I am developing for Apple mobile devices and am experiencing an issue with PlayerPrefs. I am saving whenever OnApplicationPause is true, OnApplicationFocus is false, and OnApplicationQuit. I also load PlayerPrefs to their appropriate script partners on Start() as well and also have a coroutine that checks if the data has been set or not every 2 seconds until it has been set. Opening up the app on an Apple device for the first time I experience the PlayerPrefs not being set even though in the logs, they say that they are. Am I using the correct places to Load/Save the PlayerPrefs in the game? Any help or guidance is appreciated. Thank you!

iron pendant
How do i force disable the depth texture? The setting doesn't work as long as there's any PPS use of it.
midnight osprey
Yea, I sometimes have the same problem. I fixed it by coping the project and deleting the previous one
iron pendant
And i make builds for both PC and android, so i cna't simply wipe the DOF or SSAO effect from the game
midnight osprey
How do i force disable the depth texture? The setting doesn't work as long as there's any PPS use of it.
@iron pendant are u using urp or hdrp ?
iron pendant
I did a test in URP and Standard pipeline, URP will disable depth texture properly, standard does not
midnight osprey
Then use urp cuz it is pretty good for every platform
iron pendant
I'm considering porting my game to URP but if i coud just disable the depth texture i could atl east get some kind of stable performance in the mean time
In my two tests i get 60 FPS but the standard renderer is just less consistant, but once i add dof to a vcam even if i don't use the vcam the performance drops like 25%
midnight osprey
To be honest,I know of only that way of disabling the depth texture but you can check the graphics settings
iron pendant
So the existance of the depth texture at all harms performance
midnight osprey
In my two tests i get 60 FPS but the standard renderer is just less consistant, but once i add dof to a vcam even if i don't use the vcam the performance drops like 25%
@iron pendant consider dropping the physics time or what was it. Called ?
iron pendant
thats the thing the graphics setting doesn't work :/
midnight osprey
Ok, then I suppose use URP
iron pendant
That would take a while tho DX
midnight osprey
Yes
iron pendant
one thing to port the shaders, but i have other stuff going on too
midnight osprey
Ok,I will explore other ways to disable the depth texture
Maybe you can find something there
iron pendant
hmmm
Camera.main.depthTextureMode = 0;
no dice with this
no mainCamera.depthTextureMode = DepthTextureMode.None;
midnight osprey
Have you tried those ?
iron pendant
yeah it still gets forced on
void OnPreCull()
{
mainCamera.depthTextureMode = DepthTextureMode.None;
}
This seemed to work
the DOF effect is still active but doesnt't work properly, so thats a start
midnight osprey
Yea
iron pendant
It does not work in build though christ >:O
iron pendant
Hm i found this in the post processing stack...
/// <summary>
/// Override this method if your renderer needs access to any of the buffers defined in
/// <see cref="DepthTextureMode"/>.
/// </summary>
/// <returns>The currently set depth texture modes</returns>
/// <seealso cref="DepthTextureMode"/>
public virtual DepthTextureMode GetCameraFlags()
{
return DepthTextureMode.None;
}
might be rlated but doesn't make sense :/
This seems to disable depth when it's not needed...
iron pendant
I think this is what's preventing me from disabling the depth buffer when using PPSv2 . How could i override this As my previous effort didn't work.
in the DepthofField.cs there's this which i think is the main thing enabling it. But i don't think simply editing these is the best solution.
public override DepthTextureMode GetCameraFlags()
{
return DepthTextureMode.Depth;
}```
one of the SSAO scripts has a similar line:
```cs
public DepthTextureMode GetCameraFlags()
{
return DepthTextureMode.None | DepthTextureMode.DepthNormals;
}
So how could i best overide these commands?
Actually even commenting this out only works in the play mode...

The admob assets or what?
eternal violet
well u say that, but the reason the https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/534632293520769024/717733305654575194/unknown.png thing came up is when i installed it lol
lapis hull
as I said before, unity ads have nothing to do with admob
eternal violet
well u say that, but why does the android depencies not pop up when i dont have it?
like when i go to assets and its drop down
i cant see anything to do with the google mobile settings
lapis hull
everything you have to do is made through scripts
have you watched the tutorial I shared?
eternal violet
ye the dude installed admob ye, and soon after that he got that resolving thing
when i installed
it
i dont see play services resolver
i will try again now tho
lapis hull
that is the play services resolver though
eternal violet
mhmm
lapis hull
as he says in the tutorial "play services resolver>android resolver>force resolve"
eternal violet
ok i will try now
im importing
@lapis hull ok so which should i do first?
soon after imporitng
this came up
lapis hull
enable it
lapis hull
all
eternal violet
ok
oh ye i forgot to remove advertisements
crap, i will do it again
i get this error anyways
right at the end
13% tho now
lapis hull
🤷♂️
eternal violet
@lapis hull u see i dont see it
also, unlike the guy in yt, i didnt switch platform coz mine was already on android
so idk if thats why
lapis hull
what unity version are you on?
eternal violet
2019.3.14f1
should i build and run to my phone? maybe then it will recongize the platform or something
eternal violet
what should i do? why cant i see it
lapis hull
if you said you already chose the platform, then that is it
eternal violet
huh
so waht should i do tho? switch platform to windows and then back to android
or build and run on android
and see if that helps
lapis hull
are you sure you installed the admob assets?
eternal violet
lapis hull
that's really weird
lapis hull
alright
lapis hull
script errors huh
lapis hull
nice
eternal violet
right
ye i think its stuck again
its at 10%
and it says failed to run below
lapis hull
are you using the built-in jdk?
eternal violet
i found this thoso i guess i will follow it
and waht do u mean gamesky
im using the module
sdk module right?
for unity it comes with all of that
lapis hull
you can modify the jdk if you want to use other versions
which isn't the same thing with the sdk
eternal violet
so i should do the thing above? in the img
coz thats what the error had said for me
lapis hull
i did that way before starting adding ads
eternal violet
oh damn
i dint
didnt
so i will do it all over again, first that, then i will fix the scripts
and then i will install it
and it should work then 😄
lapis hull
hopefully 🙂
eternal violet
@lapis hull btw do u knwo waht "Right click on "my computer" and go to properties." my computer is? like where is that
lapis hull
aren't you using windows?
lapis hull
if you don't have a "my computer" icon, go to your folders, my computer and right click there
lapis hull
yeah
eternal violet
it brought me to : system and security > systems
and i dont see no advanced options
advanced tab
it just shows alot of windows info
lapis hull
advanced system settings
eternal violet
Ohhhhhhhh righttt
@lapis hull i dont see any java home variables D;
even when i scroll down
i dont see nothing about Java Home
lapis hull
I don't have any idea tbh. if you can't find any other solutions, either wait for someone else to help you, or search more
eternal violet
D:
lapis hull
i don't know why do you get that error though
since you use the pre-built sdk and jdk
eternal violet
ye
hmmm.....
i mean, it did have unity ads setup on it before
but i simply removed those
so idk
mhmmm
@lapis hull do u have java installed? just a quick q
like if u were to search java in ur window search u would find it?
lapis hull
I do
eternal violet
mhm...
i dont... coudl it be the reason?
"ERROR: JAVA_HOME is not set and no 'java' command could be found in your PATH.]" this was the error so i mena
lapis hull
as I said, since you are using the built-in jdk, that should not be a problem, but I may be wrong
lapis hull
yeah
lapis hull
i don't think so
eternal violet
@lapis hull AY BOR
I made it work i think
YE
i simply unchecked the jdk box
saved it
lapis hull
nice
eternal violet
then laoded it back on
and then checked it
and then did force resolve
and its workign 😄
@lapis hull wait do i even have to do the android manifest thing? coz on the documentation it just shows to go to google ad settings instead and put app id there
lapis hull
🤷♂️
lapis hull
yea
lapis hull
that is a common problem among admob users
eternal violet
D;
why is this how do i fix?
and also
it crashes on jsut a single tap on the icon
like it doesnt even launch the game
lapis hull
i don't know
eternal violet
@lapis hull doesnt crash
but doesnt show ad D:
is it something to do with my code?
golden remnant
ugh... same problem, i've tried what @midnight osprey said. Any new ideas?
midnight osprey
Have you tried tuning down graphics settings ?
golden remnant
no, let me try it
midnight osprey
Try buying it down to the lowest seetings
Oh, btw have you checked if anything in main scene has an error ?
Or a warning
golden remnant
no errors
what can i modify here
or it is good?
YES I FIXED IT
I turned down the graphics and i deleted an useless asset
i think that asset was the problem
thanks @midnight osprey for your support ❤️
midnight osprey
That's ok
Thanks to you too since I too am working on a mobile game, if I encounter this issue I can try thease
eternal violet
Do u guys know why my admob ad isnt showing?
golden remnant
I think you need to publish the game in order to admob work. @eternal violet
eternal violet
@golden remnant have u used admob before?
golden remnant
i just put my first game on google play, i'm waiting to get reviewd. and i yes, in my game i have admob
eternal violet

or something test devices as well
golden remnant

golden remnant

golden remnant

eternal violet
golden remnant

using UnityEngine;

string AppId = "";
[System.Obsolete]
void Start()
{
MobileAds.Initialize(AppId);

@eternal violet it's almost the same
eternal violet

interstitial = new InterstitialAd(adUnitId);
AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();
interstitial.LoadAd(request);

i get this error every time when i open my prject
eternal violet
- have u put ur app id and app name in manifest?
golden remnant
yes i have everything in admob
golden remnant
yes
golden remnant
yes i think is from google services resolver
eternal violet
okay so i think maybe u should force resolve again? possibly im not sure
what do u think
wait
kense are these errors?
or warnings?
golden remnant
it's one error
eternal violet
oh i thought
all of it was one big error
coz i later realized
i think i seen it in my android log cat also
golden remnant
it is one big error lol
eternal violet
mhm
golden remnant
clicked the force resolve and nothing happened
eternal violet
hmm, that may mean perhaps it doesnt even do it czo u may already have it? or something
also , i guess i mean try unticking jdk in preferences, save project, then load again, and tick it then force resolve, idk if it would fix yo problem, but i dont see wy not try
golden remnant
ok i will try it
eternal violet
after that, even if it sitll dont show up, just build adn run and see if improved
golden remnant
ok
spring vessel
I'm trying to figure out what type of game or style or battle it is in games where you don't battle but summon/make /earn people to fight for you in games (sorry if this is not the right chat to ask) and game I mean is like who battIe cats you click on a character and it moves on it own if that help any
eternal violet
lul
golden remnant
found the fix
eternal violet
what was it
golden remnant
i need to play the game in unity and the resolver runs automatically
eternal violet
interesting
eternal violet
Nice bro!

Someone used InputSystem on android?
I have a question. How can I make a virtual joystick that will issue the events I need to the system
chrome haven
If I blur on the pictures, he may not give me a copy right?

@fast bison Why would you need a virtual joystick anyways you have to explain so I can help you achieve your goal
chrome haven
ok
chrome haven
ok
eternal violet
Guys has anyone here used admob?
warm adder
I used it last year
eternal violet
@warm adder have u had interstital ad video working?
IEnumerator RequestInterstitial()
{
string adUnitId = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/8691691433";
interstitial = new InterstitialAd(adUnitId);
AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();
interstitial.LoadAd(request);
interstitial.Show();
yield return null;
}
this is my current code
im using the test ad id
and it doesnt appear to be working
like its not showing ad
warm adder
No i wasn't implementing those. Are other ads from admob showing? Or is it the only ad type you have?
eternal violet
yes i have banner ads
showing
Btw i do get some odd looking warnings on androiud log cat
but idk if those are because its intersitital ad
compared to the banner one
warm adder
what warnings?
eternal violet
hold on lemme screenshot
the big chunks seem fine
but its those webview destroyed im kinda iffy about
and the very top image, idk if those are good or not so
@warm adder
warm adder
you can use interstitial.IsLoaded() to see if ad was loaded, maybe it's not loaded yet when you try to show it?
warm adder
also
interstitial.OnAdLoaded += HandleOnAdLoaded;
maybe try doing something like this, and in HandleOnAdLoaded try to show it?
warm adder
that's what I can suggest from looking at documentation, I didn't used it myself so can't be sure what's wrong
eternal violet
i will tyr the if (this.interstitial.IsLoaded()) {
this.interstitial.Show();
}
first
and then the event
IEnumerator RequestInterstitial()
{
string adUnitId = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/8691691433";
interstitial = new InterstitialAd(adUnitId);
AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();
interstitial.LoadAd(request);
if (this.interstitial.IsLoaded())
{
this.interstitial.Show();
}
else
{
interstitial.LoadAd(request);
this.interstitial.Show();
}
yield return null;
}
ok i will give this a try
warm adder
You can put the debug.log with "not loaded" message in else, just to know thats happening and ad is not loaded
eternal violet
oh wait
mmm..
i just remembered
that the coroutine gets called once rght
so if it aint loaded it will just end it
but i will tyr this anyways
warm adder
you can try something like thi
interstitial = new InterstitialAd(adUnitId);
AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();
interstitial.LoadAd(request);
while(!interstitial.IsLoaded())
{
yield return null;
}
interstitial.Show();``` IEnumerator RequestInterstitial()
{
string adUnitId = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/8691691433";
interstitial = new InterstitialAd(adUnitId);
AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();
interstitial.LoadAd(request);
while (!this.interstitial.IsLoaded())
{
interstitial.LoadAd(request);
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
}
this.interstitial.Show();
yield return null;
}
lol
as u posted that
i made this
ighh
ohh
maybe i shouldnt be loading it over and over?
warm adder
i think it shouldn't
eternal violet
k i will tyr yours
warm adder
you load it once and then wait for it to load, I think
eternal violet
ok
warm adder
also there is possibility that it will never be loaded (due to some errors or something) and it will be always in this loop, better to add some checks or timeout to stop this while loop
eternal violet
ye i added a wait 0.1 sec
@warm adder AY BROTHER
WE HAVE SUCEEEDED
xd
it worked
thank u bro
warm adder
no problem, glad I could help
but I would suggest to do something like "if ad isn't loaded for 30 seconds, stop checking if it's loaded"
eternal violet
mhmm... im not sure how id do that
warm adder
interstitial = new InterstitialAd(adUnitId);
AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();
interstitial.LoadAd(request);
float timeoutTimer=0;
while (!this.interstitial.IsLoaded())
{
interstitial.LoadAd(request);
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
timeoutTimer+=1;
if(timeoutTimer>=30)
break;
}
this.interstitial.Show();
yield return null;```simply checking the time, maybe 😉
eternal violet
ah okay
xd
ok thanks i will tyr that
also i have another q, can i have 2 banners at the same time on one screen? xd
warm adder
One more thing with interstitial, worth reading/doing
no, I dont think it's possible to have 2 banners
eternal violet
wait
but wahts the point of that? mhm..
doesnt an intersitial ad
like destroy itself?
after 5 seconds
warm adder
Well, apparently no, looks like you have to destroy it after it is closed to prevent memory leaks
eternal violet
ok
fast bison
@fast bison Why would you need a virtual joystick anyways you have to explain so I can help you achieve your goal
@lyric path Thank you, I have already found a solution. On-display joystick script
eternal violet
Guys, when i have admob installed and everttyhign works, i simply switch out the ad id to the real one and save,build the apks, and its ready to be published?
@warm adder ye?
warm adder
Yeah I think so, don't remember if I had to do anything additional when publishing 😉
eternal violet
and what about untiy?
its all good as it is?
nothing extra
or anyhintg
@warm adder btw this is all good?
seems fine?
lyric path
Okay glad its fixed
warm adder
Probably yes, hard for me to say as I dont really remember
eternal violet
oki
oh also
molioo do i have to setup the app ids text thing?
do i have to do this?
did you do this?
warm adder
tbh I dont know, I didn't create any txt file like this
eternal violet
oh ok thats fine then
anyhow i realized it says i must hae app registed with google play
for that to work nvm then
anyhow i dont have a dev webs
warm adder
Well yeah if you want to earn money with admob you have to have it published on google play or ios appstore
warm adder
what do you mean it works? and on what platforms?
eternal violet
by that i mean, it displays ads on platforms such as amazon app store
warm adder
oh, okay, maybe i'm not right, I thought you have to have your game published to actually show ads and earn money from them
didn't publish anything on amazon app store btw
eternal violet
neither did i, but on google it says it should work
i should still earn revnue im pretty sure

What is the most simple method to make a cube glow? i am making a mobile game and i want to have glow effect on a cube which is constantly changing its scale in Y axis. Since its a mobile game I want a method which least performance intensive.
eternal violet
@warm adder
do i need firebase linked?
is that for like data stores
ro something
warm adder
It is not essential, your game and ads will work without it
eternal violet
ok nice
warm adder
check their webpage to see what it is for
eternal violet
@warm adder i contacted admob support regarding some odd error i found and look
damnn
feels good to have helped em out with some error regarding test devices lol
when testing ads
warm adder
out of curiosity, what odd error?
eternal violet
it was soemthing to do with request configuration
not having a defintion of build
but ye basically
the documentation on admob
for test devices
was wrong compared to the github one
and now they are changing this xd
warm adder
oh ok, glad you found the error, it always feels good to help 😉
eternal violet
ye it feels really good and kinda insane, like i helped google
google...
really cool
warm adder
and probably helped some other future devs looking for information in their documentation
eternal violet
ye
i mean, people could still use test ads but they simply
would never be able to see their acutal ads
coz the test device documentation was wrong and theyd be confused and all lol
@warm adder btw do i have to sign in payment info on the platform im publishing to? or jsut admob
i wqill have no in app purchases and the app wont be paid access only so
warm adder
No idea tbh, but I don't think you need payment info on publishing site if it's free and withour iap
eternal violet
mhm
eternal violet
@warm adder in amazon app store, they give this info
do i have to exchange this app id for the one used in admob? or nope
im pretty sure not but like double checking
also it says on top: " app submission API KEYS"
warm adder
I don't know. As I said before, I never published anything on amazon app store 😉
eternal violet
@warm adder
i have two apk files
what should i put? ;-;
theres the arm64 one
and the other one
if i put both, will amazon know that ones for like 64 bit systems?
mortal jetty
@eternal violet First Hi, im currently also wokrinmg on doing Ad Mob, I showed in here and heard you also have Problems with it, what was it
eternal violet
oh, im fine now,but i cctually have a few Q
when publishing, do i just switch out the ad id
to the real one and thats it?
no additional stuff needed to do? ready to publish?
mortal jetty
I guess so
to the real one and thats it?
@eternal violet
eternal violet
ok nice
also when amazon ask for apk files
what should i put?
both in?
but then how does it know taht they are differenty? like ones for 64 bit systems
mortal jetty
Wait
When you build with Google Dev or so enabled
then it will give no apk its an aab or so is this file format allowed
mortal jetty
Yeah
mortal jetty
this is best for Playstore
mortal jetty
thenm its an fomrat t hat playstore is automaticly finding the best cversion for the phone
but idk if the Amazon store supportes this
mortal jetty
mhh
mortal jetty
okay
So I take the chance when I speak with someone who has AdMob up and running
So my Problem is when I build my Game (Android) with Ad Mob Imported the game crashes instantly
mortal jetty
When I delete the Ad Mob files all is working fine
eternal violet
listen
mortal jetty
Yeah
eternal violet
u gotta put the app id
and value in android manifest file
also make sure in google mobile settings thing
u also did the app id
and value thing
mortal jetty
So on both
eternal violet
yes
also for value
its like com.something.something u know ?
like project name thingy
not really name but
mortal jetty
ohh
great to knoow
At the point where I started to search for the zstart of your conversation here in the channel
I noticed that I was not the only one who has been looking for help with ad mob for a long time
I try it now
mortal jetty
ouf
eternal violet
therefore i basically helped tons of future devs
eternal violet
basically i contacted the google team about an error i found
and they realzied their mistake
and now they will update
the documentation soon xD
coz their doucmentation was diff to their github
so it made errors
mortal jetty
did you asked for a persentage of their revenue
mortal jetty
So do i have APPLICATION_ID in here <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="ca-app-pub-2504294990373506~4908256998" />
But I guess its a great feeling
eternal violet
ye exactly the android name is like that but 3 words
com.Company name. project name
mortal jetty
And if you want you can write this is your cv
eternal violet
OH yea
i never thought about my cv
now that u mention
it
it does sound great xd
mortal jetty
Helped the Google Ad Mob team
mortal jetty
But its great if you helped a big dev concern
mortal jetty
so i changed the app id
eternal violet
mortal jetty
I started building
but now in my Manifest there is a third line with the old "APPLICATION_ID" in it
eternal violet
ye em, <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="ca-app-pub-2504294990373506~4908256998" /> i fu see another one like this, jsut delete it and keep yoru original
u should have only 1 when building
and then when u built it
unity will make another one
and u can just ignore that one
mortal jetty
okay
mortal jetty
I wanted to be sure at first, I had the problem for a long time, nobody could help me, I imported Ad Mob so many times, till I have started learning flutter in the last few days
