Ads out of nowhere - is there a virus that does that?

One of my clients has visible ads in an app where I remove mopub adview (after the client does iAP)…

edit: it appear the reason is MoPub Marketplace - it shows ads even though there is no view present.

Is there a way to remove it properly?

PS. I’ve removed activity from the AndroidManifest:


<activity android:name="com.mopub.mobileads.MoPubActivity" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"/>

And it seems to work without it. Is MoPubActivity necessary? It has it’s own MoPubView which might have been showing the ads when there was no MoPubView created by me…

afaik, mopub marketplace requires an adview… it is just a RTB traffic source.

The MoPub Activity has a way of creating it’s own adview (I looked into the code) - I removed it from the AndroidManifest for now (everything works without it…) and contacted mopub. Let’s see what they have to say. :slight_smile: For now I turned off marketplace, people who paid to not have ads would kill me (well, not literally - just leave bad reviews and not buy any IAP later) if they still had ads. :slight_smile:

Check again… something needs to trigger it. What class/method are you looking at ?
