UnityAds not working in release build on Android

I’m using the 2.7.5 version of the SdkBox plugins, and the unity ads are working when I run a debug build, but when running the release build, then there are no ads.

Here’s a screenshot from Logcat:

Any ideas what’s happening?

Copy of the Logcat output:

We can ask @htlxyz

Can unityads display test advertisements?

you swapped you android and ios gameId’s?

unityads sample project: GitHub - sdkbox/sdkbox-sample-ccc200 at unityads

and still can’t find the reason, share me your project, let me check.

In release mode neither test nor live ads are working. I’m getting that error in Logcat. I have two games live on the store and neither game have unity ads working.

I’ll try to setup a test project and share the code later today.

Link to a test project:

please add following two activity to your application’s manifest.

Adding those to the manifest xml file didn’t help.

BUT!

Adding this to the proguard rules file fixed the problem! Shouldn’t the SDKBOX installer add this automatically to the file?

-keep class com.unity3d.services.** {
*;
}

proguard-rules.pro could not be successfully patched for some reason for unityads.

we’ll check this.

Thanks htlxyz for help. When you wrote what I should add to the manifest xml, then I realised that there is a com.unity3d.services.* not only com.unity3d.ads.*, which is missing from pro guard.
