Properly hiding iAds

OK so stage 1 is simple. Remove all the iAd code and frameworks from your app. Seriously.


Second stage.
Download This Video from the WWDC 2010 series, it's all based around iAd.

Watch through and observe the "Ideal Implementation" otherwise known as "the only way you're getting your iAd app on our store Implementation" this describes it faultlessly, worked an absolute charm for me.


Hope that helps, it was ages of hunting before I got it right and that does it so simply.

 

Apple's iAd Programming Guide will show you how to properly display and hide the iAd banner. This is how I got mine working.

 

Agreed, it's a great video, watch it!


Also, have any of you received this warning when click on the iAd banner:

The view controller <ADRemoteViewController: 0x176d00> returned NO from -shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: for all interface orientations. It should support at least one orientation.

 

I read the title as "Properly hiding Aids" and I thought "ehhhhh....?"

 

That would imply that your class does not have an exposed getter for a member named bannerview. Replace self.bannerview with whatever means provides you with the ADBannerView object; if you've placed it in Interface Builder rather than created it programmatically it'll be the associated outlet (or you'll need to create one). Exactly the same as for talking to any other view.

 

One other gotcha is that you must make sure that the class with the didFailToReceiveAdWithError method is a delegate for your iAd banner view.

You can do this in Interface Builder by making the appropriate attachment, or do something like this in your code:

Code:

self.bannerView.delegate = self;

The code above assumes that didFailToReceiveAdWithError is placed in the same view controller that has your banner view, of course.
