appbrain-sdk's Issues

Click on in app banner does not work.

On the previous version (10.4) when clicking on "More apps" or "Download apps" buttons in the banner it was showing the App wall. On the new version it does not do anything.

Why does the SDK use READ_PHONE_STATE permission?

According to your SDK Help page, The only permissions needed are internet permission and access network state which is untrue as of now.

Why is this permission needed and why can't I find any information about that?

I followed your guide, so I added to my project's build.gradle this snippet:
repositories { maven { url 'https://swisscodemonkeys.github.io/appbrain-sdk/maven' } } dependencies { implementation 'com.appbrain:appbrain-sdk:+'}

My layout XML contains this snippet:
<com.appbrain.AppBrainBanner android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Edit: Using v15.00, the READ_PHONE_STATE is not needed. So something went wrong when you updated the new version I guess.

Conversion event tracking in the Unity plugin

Hello,

It would be very nice if your Unity plugin supported the Conversion event tracking funtionality - i.e. if AppBrain.getAdvertiserService().sendConversionEvent("iab", cents); was available in Unity.

Best regards

How to integrate the SDK as it is always an ERROR?

As i pasted this - implementation 'com.appbrain:appbrain-sdk:+@aar'
from the instructions here: https://www.appbrain.com/info/help/sdk/setup.html

I always get an ERROR...

App crashes when ad is closed (Unity 5)

I create a new Unity 5 game, place the SDK files in Assets/Plugins/Android, I create a button that will run AppBrain.GetAds().ShowInterstitial(true); when pressed, then I build and install the app, I press the button, and the "Would you like more free apps?" dialog appears. Everything seems fine.

But whether I press "Not now" right away, or close the interstitial after viewing it, the app crashes and closes too.

The logcat says this:

I/Unity   (23661): onDestroy
I/Process (23661): Sending signal. PID: 23661 SIG: 9
I/ActivityManager(17038): Process com.foo.bar (pid 23661) has died.
