Udemy Course - Reskinning 2048 for iOS and Android

Ok, now that we're past the ad network problems I'm going back to discussing my course experience on Udemy for reskinning the 2048 app for iOS and Android. I will post an update on the revenue of the new ad networks in a week or so.

So with Udemy, as I said in my previous post, shows you how to setup the accounts you need. Setting up a Google developer account costs $25, setting up an Apple Developer account costs $99. I'm starting to realize how much I've really spent on this investment.... it's freaking me out a little actually.

Anyway, I set all of my accounts up - ad networks were Revmob, Chartboost, and Admob and analytics were on Upsight.

The course was pretty straightforward and the instructor is good at explaining things. As I was saying, I don't own any apple machines, and I don't have a virtual machine setup yet. So I was just concentrating on the Android part of this course. After installing Unity and learning how to change settings and graphics within Unity, I got to almost the end of the course when I hit a brick wall. It was setting up a unique key where Unity stopped me.

I got an error saying that Unity couldn't find a JDK installation. This is the Java Development Kit. I have tried EVERYTHING I could find on Google. I uninstalled and reinstalled Unity and the Android SDK. I tried changing the PATH variable in the control panel to point to the JDK installation. I uninstalled and reinstalled the JDK. I uninstalled all the other Java installations on my computer and checked with the command prompt that it was reading the proper one - and it was. But it just wasn't working in Unity. That's where I'm at. That's where I stopped with the course. I still don't know what to do with it. It's frustrating.

Anyway, anyone now a fix for that... pls leave a comment. I would love to get passed this.

In my next post I'll tell you what I decided to do from here.

For now, Good night!!
