Facebook Audience Advertising

for Android, does BB automagically export the Facebook SDK or do you have to add it manually. any tips on the Facebook banner ads would be appreciated

 

copying the AudienceNetwork.jar into the project didn't help so maybe part of the Facebook sdk is already there? ...but I don't see the Facebook meta data in the manifest:

 

Does anyone know of Buildbox documentation about Facebook banner ads on Android? The manual for Buildbox is still on version 1.3.3

If you configure Buildbox advertising settings to use Facebook the SDK is included on export. There would be no specific change in later documentation to integrating the Facebook SDK.

 

thanks @Andy I tried this and added Facebook as the only banner in the priority list.

it crashes when it gets to the main menu, here is the log cat. Are Facebook banner ads supported on Android?

wow this is frustrating...I don’t think Buildbox supports Facebook Banner ads on Android.

I have a game that loads fine without advertising but if I add Facebook banners to the game over screen, the game crashes when it loads 97% of the splash/loading screen.

Happens on both:

Gtab48 Galaxy (SM-T330)
Android 5.1.1

&

Nexus 7
Android 4.4.2

 

I remember @Machine Rises had the same problem with his game Color Switch. It seems to make trouble even on iOS.

 

Yup I had to drop Facebook. Annoying for sure.

 

has anyone gotten Facebook ads to work on Android?

 

Try using Heyzap with Facebook setup on the backend

 

@darren did you find how to add facebook android sdk ?
can you tell me how did you do it.
