  • The last time I tried to build inside android studio if I add ads I get a black screen. I dont know if still is like this.

    The apksigner comand is next:

    Supose you have created a keystore file called KEYSTORE.jks and you have exported your apk using unsigned apk option inside C3 with the name MYGAME.apk

    (Inside your android studio folder-->sdk-->build-tools-->27.0.3(or whatever other version)) open the command line:

    -------------------------------->apksigner sign --ks KEYSTORE.jks --out MYGAME_SIGNED.apk MYGAME.apk

    Then you have to enter your keystore password and your alias password, previously created.

    The file MYGAME_SIGNED.apk will be created on your folder.

    NOTE: If you are using the new PowerShell of windows you have to add at the beggining of the command --> ".\"

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now, if you want to test your signed apk quicky on your device. Connect your device to your computer usb and go to your folder:

    Move or copy MYGAME_SIGNED.apk to the folder platform-tools.

    (Inside your android studio folder-->sdk-->platform-tools) open the command line:

    First you conect your device and execute the command adb devices to know the SERIALNUMBER of your device and now you can execute:

    adb -s SERIALNUMBER install MYGAME_SIGNED.apk

    The apk will appear now installed on your mobile, if you want to install again you have to delete previous versions.

    NOTE: If you are using the new PowerShell of windows you have to add at the beggining of the command --> ".\"

  • Nope. Only when its in an APK file (and think only when on Play store)

    Your app doesn´t need to be on playstore to show ads. After signed and installed manually on your device you can see the ads.

  • No, in live preview you are not going to see ads.

    Maybe the problem with your ads is that you have to link your app to admob on the admob console, this could spend a bit of time.

  • It's better to get this early without monetization than to wait with nothing to work with until the monetization is also complete.

    This way you can have your game ready when that feature is complete.

    My game is ready waiting for monetization

  • As far as I remember, once you created your admob account, the ads are ready to show. I don´t know what is wrong, because I do the same and for me is working. Maybe anyone else has an opinion...

  • Maybe this helps, you can sign your app not opening Android Studio, but using the tools of its sdk.

    In this topic you can see the comand that you need to do it.

    Is not exactly what you are asking, but maybe is worthed.

  • ivall Come on , that is trending topic, for sure you can find something newer than xdk

  • ivall Wait for an answer instead of look for it.........

    Do you know that the forum have a funcionallity called SEARCH?

  • Thanks for feedback.

    "Hounds of halthrag keep" it was to be my biggest project, but after put a lot of work on it, debbuging was crazy and it has many unresolved bugs.

    Sometimes I forget about small screens.

    For sure, Hiphop beat maker is the only app i´m getting profits for it.

    Apreciatte your time for testing.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Samsung Galaxy S6

    Android 7.0

  • I have tested and what I can say is:

    -The icon on playstore is horrible (this is the first thing that people is going to see). Seriously, I will never click on that icon, because it makes me think that the game is going to be horrible. You have many images free of copyright related with football.

    -The same happens with your featured graphic, is a screenshot, once again look for something copyright free and make something fancy here.

    -Its going to be difficult to get visibility on playstore, you have to include your keywords 5 times, for example you only have 2 times the word "soccer". Make a good description of the game with the most of the keywords related with soccer will help to gain some visibility. You can use free web programs as appanie to track your keywords.

    (You can run experiments from your store consele with this 3 parameters and you will see you will gain some visibility)

    THE GAME:

    -The game is boring (honestly), so the only way the people playing your game is with a very good graphics. Now you can see pixels everywhere.

    -When I touch the ball I don´t see the walls, so I have try to put my mobile on landscape but its not possible.

    -The animations are ok and run smooth.

    -The music is hard to listen for more than 1 minute I want to silence.

    -The UIS could have a better design, for example making a frame to the big Tiled Background where you put all the texts.

    -The game is repetitive, you don´t add nothing to make it more tricky as you get points.

    -Mobile Advert is showing ads ok, I have seem one.

    This is my honest opinion. Good luck and keep on developing

  • Installing...

  • Oh, my eyes are bleeding!

    These graphics...

  • C3 makes the size of the APK much better.

  • — Why don´t you say in public how much are you going to pay? Because everyone contact you is the first thing to asking.
