Registration

To begin, please register with Appnext.

Note

A unique ID called a placement ID is required for all inbound requests. This is a 32-character string generated by Appnext for every registered app. To get started, add a new app via the Appnext Self-Service Platform, then obtain the placement ID in your account at:

Apps → [Settings Icon] → Settings & Placements → Placement ID

If you're developing for both Android and iOS, copy the appropriate placement ID for each platform.

Syntax

local appnext = require( "plugin.appnext" )

Functions

Events

Project Settings

To use this plugin, add an entry into the plugins table of build.settings. When added, the build server will integrate the plugin during the build phase.

settings =
{
    plugins =
    {
        ["plugin.appnext"] =
        {
            publisherId = "com.appnext",
        },
    },      
}

Important

If building for iOS, you must bypass App Transport Security (ATS) by adding the following to the plist table of build.settings. While we do not blindly encourage this approach for all developers and projects, bypassing ATS is required in certain cases. For more information on ATS, please see the Managing App Transport Security guide. 

settings =
{
    iphone =
    {
        plist =
        {
            NSAppTransportSecurity = { NSAllowsArbitraryLoads=true },
        },
    },
}
