What do you need help with - if you post your question here, more of us will see it. :wink:

Well in App Studio to enable ads i need to downloadi ts source code and find the xaml and add my unitId and application id-done,where do i have to insert the source code so my app can actually show ads,i want to do this just to learn(and maybe in future published apps )

 

[hopmedic]

You'll do that in MainPage.xaml, and the only thing needed is the right markup. No code behind necessary.

Use pubCenter | Build your business | Ads in Apps for Windows 8

The source code downloaded from app studio has the ads code.
You will find it as a comment (green text). All you need is to uncomment the code and insert your pubcenter ad ID. And as hopmedic said you'll do it in mainpage.xaml (or it could have different name e.g. Navigate.xaml) depending on what appstudio saves it.
If you find it difficult and don't mind sharing bits of your code, we would be happy to help you.

Alright i did that,now what im supposed to do with the source code to work?do i need to export as xap or something?

Now you need to rebuild the code (I assume you are working via WP SDK) to package it as .xap

 

[Nokia Boy]

How i will do that? And yes i use VS express from wp8 sdk

 

[Nokia Boy]

Alright i rebuilded code but the app when i start it,it force close after 1 second....
Here is my code:

<!--PLACE BELOW YOUR AdUnitId AND ApplicationId TO ENABLE ADS IN YOUR APPLICATION-->
        <!--Image480_80 and test_client ARE DEMO VALUES-->
        !--<ads:AdControl Grid.Row="1" Height="80" Width="480"
                      IsAutoCollapseEnabled="True"
                      IsAutoRefreshEnabled="True"
                      AdUnitId="10635296"
                      ApplicationId="6ba5e6c2-6076-434a-8e13-d7f438974ec9"/>-->

The code you posted is commented
This is how the ads code should be:

         <ads:AdControl Grid.Row="1" Height="80" Width="480"
                      IsAutoCollapseEnabled="True"
                      IsAutoRefreshEnabled="True"
                      AdUnitId="XXXXXXX"
                      ApplicationId="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"/>

replace the xs with your id
1 more thing that I remembered
to make the ads actually work you need to enable medialib_audio, photo & playback capabilities. You will find this in WMappmanifest.xaml under capabilities tab.

after that build the solution and deploy the xap from the bin/release-or-debug folder to your phone

Hope everything works with you great

Here's one for you - Microsoft's own ad control requires:
ID_CAP_IDENTITY_USER
ID_CAP_MEDIALIB_PHOTO
ID_CAP_PHONEDIALER

That's what makes me wonder. As I remember I used the capabilities as you mentioned and MS ad control and didn't get the ad to work correctly. This was solved by adding the rest of capabilities. Not sure if updates from the server end fixed it. Again, that would be technical issues from my side. Damn I hate ads.

 

[hopmedic]

In WP7, Microsoft would add necessary permissions, but no longer. I'm not sure if there are more required than that for MS ads, because I use AdRotator, which requires more. The info that I put up came from Microsoft's documentation.

 

[Nokia Boy]

i already added those capabilities...

That's good

As for Skype sorry bro I can't, I'm on a broadband plan and my quota is almost limited.

Any errors while building the project, and what phone do you have.

 

[Nokia Boy]

while building solution i dont get any errors and my phone is 520,app worked great before i mess my hands with the ads code

 

[hacer619]

That could be related to ram. try testing it on the emulator. try the 512MB and 720p. If it crashes on the 512mb then it is related to low ram and your app should be further optimized.

 

[Nokia Boy]

my app is really simple,just an rss feed,i dont find any reason to not work with my phone-and my emulator is dead D:
