I use Admob banner and interstitial, chartboost interstitial, Startapp interstitial, and Startapp Exit ads by “Back” and “Home” button , Startapp searchbox . Which is the problem ? I’m really confused.
Also i get a “7 day Notification” with another app , in this , i use Startapp Banner, chartboost interstitial, Startapp interstitial, and Startapp Exit ads by “Back” and “Home” button , Startapp searchbox .
It seems caused by Startapp. But which is the really problem ?
The issue is not Startapp Exit ads but Admob. When you use Admob they want you to exclusively use admob for banners and interstitial. This is their way of warning you since they believe by using startapp ads you are hampering their banner and interstitial business.
Also startapp slider search will be sliding over the banners which I am sure they dont like. However, their exit ads should be OK in my opinion.
There is always a “coded” message in google’s email. Read it properly.
I also have a game without admob received this 7 day notification. I use Startapp Banner, chartboost interstitial, Startapp interstitial, and Startapp Exit ads, Startapp searchbox in this game.
I use startapp and no issues yet. But i Don’t use the search box. I think it is the search box. I can’t remember if I use the exit add on “home” but for sure on the “back”
Maybe its the combination admob- startapp search box? In fact, if you extend the searchbox, it will overlap with the admob banners. Might that be the issue?
I’ve also received this 7 days notification from Google. I’m using StartApp (Banners, Search Box and Exist Ads on Back and Home pressed) and RevMob (Banners and FullScreen).
From all that we have checked, it is the Post Call Manager. And in all cases, that SDK was integrated in the app, but not called. So Google are checking for the existence of that SDK, regardless on whether it is active or not.
Best thing to do right now is email our support ([email protected]) or open a ticket in your dashboard. Send them the manifest and apk and they will look into this.
There are still a few days where we can resolve this, so let’s work together to make sure everyone is still running by the weekend.
