Thanks yinjimmy

majiho_games · June 14, 2019, 12:10am

Hi @yinjimmy,

iap 2.4.3.9 is printing debug log even in release build.

06-14 01:04:54.505 11790 11805 D IAP : Refreshing products: 'full_game_no_ads,android.test.canceled,android.test.purchased,android.test.item_unavailable'

I also set debug to false (before and after init call) as below but it is still logging debug

sdkbox::IAP::setDebug(false); sdkbox::IAP::init();

Any idea?

Thanks

yinjimmy · June 14, 2019, 1:57am

It’s a bug here, I’m fixing currently.

majiho_games · June 20, 2019, 5:44pm

Reading more about GDPR consent policy, user can change from targeted ads to npa.
But it doesnt look like admob plugin allow to change the gdpr flag once it is initialised.
So can the gdpr function be called after the init call?
PluginAdMob::setGDPR(bool)

Thanks

yinjimmy · June 21, 2019, 2:26pm

yes, you can and check with output message:

extra=

majiho_games · June 22, 2019, 5:59pm

Thanks @yinjimmy.

As I am currently writing up the privacy policy for my game, I need to provide details on the security measures taken by third party companies when storing data.

I really appreciate the efforts by SDKBOX team to commit to GDPR compliance but the privacy policy does not provide any details on data encryption or safe storage.

I assume that SDKBOX encrypts all data in transit? If so, would the privacy policy be updated to mention this?

Thanks

Hello yinjimmy. I have an issue with latest update of SDKBox.
Amount of ANR’s (Application Not Responding) events considerably increased. I did a quick investigation and found that the cause of it is an automatic caching of ads by AdMob.

So I disabled auto caching by calling

sdkbox::PluginAdMob::setAutoCache(false);
sdkbox::PluginAdMob::setAutoCacheDelay(-1);
sdkbox::PluginAdMob::init();

Also I reworked my code to do caching of ads by calling sdkbox::PluginAdMob::cache() in a separate worker thread. ANR amount has been decreased but not eliminated completely. I still get ANR’s where ads caching blocks main thread.

“main” prio=5 tid=1 Blocked

Can AdMob still do some caching on main thread even auto-caching is disabled? Or I’m missing something?

Is Google Mobile Ads do some caching by itself? How this can be tuned or changed to prevent such an ANR’s? Thanks.

I also have a lot of ANR’s of this kind:

On screenshot I have marked update of my app. I’m only updated SDKBox plugins on that update.

First, thanks for your report this issue.

These code stop PluginAdMob auto cache ads.
I need to research AdMob whether do some auto-caching.

.

angelvet · July 25, 2019, 4:37pm

Most devices that have ANR issues are Huawei ones with android 7.0 or 9.0. Hope this helps.

angelvet · November 28, 2019, 1:05pm

Hi @yinjimmy, in continuation of ANR issues. I see that even when auto-caching is disabled by calling this function:

PluginAdMob still calls

sdkbox::PluginAdMob::cache("…")

function implicitly for each ad entry that defined in sdkbox_config.json file. I assume this behavior because adViewDidReceiveAd callback is always called for each ad even when autocaching is disabled.

Is it possible to fix this? Thanks.

yinjimmy · November 28, 2019, 1:11pm

Google will auto cache banner ad again.

angelvet · November 28, 2019, 2:01pm

Thanks for your answer. I’m talking about interstitial ads and rewarded videos. You are right about banner ads, I didn’t cache banners at all because of this.

When I used older versions of SDKBox ( 2.4.3.3 for example) I didn’t receive any ads until calling PluginAdMob::cache() explicitly.
Now, when using latest version of SDKBox, I’m always receive ads at startup, and it is doesn’t matter is autocaching disabled or not. I even don’t need to call PluginAdMob::cache routine explicitly to get ads.

I want to get rid of this behavior because I don’t want to AdMob to cache ALL ads I have listed on sdkbox_config on game startup. I want to cache only that ads, that I need. This way I could reduce ANRs on some devices with slow internet. Also I don’t want AdMob to cache ads implicitly, for example for players that opted-out from ads.

yinjimmy · November 28, 2019, 2:40pm

let me check the admob plugin logic again.

plz invoke setAutoCache before init:

    sdkbox::PluginAdMob::setAutoCache(false);
    sdkbox::PluginAdMob::init();

it’s never cache any admob ad.

I confirm.

angelvet · November 29, 2019, 7:48pm

Thanks @yinjimmy, it works.
