More iOS 6.0 troubles

Just downloaded XCode 4.5 and iOS 6.0, and already experiencing some troubles after compiling my app.
I'm using the simulator.

First, ADBannerView is not firing anymore when there isn't an Internet connection.
Specifically, didFailToReceiveAdWithError is not being called. This can be used to hide
your banner if it's not needed.

Secondly, I'm playing some sound effects using OpenAL, and maybe after 5 minutes or so,
all of my sounds start to become corrupt. They sound like their being crunched to death.
Really horrible.

And already posted a thread on getting some unexpected behavior from sizeToFit.

This is all on the iOS 6.0 simulator. No problems on iOS 5.0.

Just wondering if anybody is experiencing the same problems.

 

That sounds like a different problem than mine.

With iOS 5, didFailToReceiveAdWithError is continuously called when there is no Internet connection.
Now, with iOS 6.0, it's never called.

And the problem with sounds is even worst. If I leave my app running for maybe 10 or more minutes, the sound completely goes silent.

It's like a slow death.

 

I don't see anything wrong with my banner code.

To get it compiled with iOS 6.0, I had to comment out two lines.

Code:

@interface MyViewController : UIViewController <ADBannerViewDelegate> {

Allocate banner and add it to the view:

Code:

       ADBannerView *tmp = [[ADBannerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
       tmp.frame = CGRectOffset(tmp.frame, 0, -50);
       tmp.delegate = self;

       // Depreciated in iOS 6.0
       //tmp.requiredContentSizeIdentifiers = [NSSet setWithObject:ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierPortrait];
       //tmp.currentContentSizeIdentifier = ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierPortrait;

       [self.view addSubview:tmp];
       [tmp release];

Delegate methods added:

Code:

-(void)bannerViewDidLoadAd:(ADBannerView *)banner;
-(void)bannerView:(ADBannerView *)banner didFailToReceiveAdWithError:(NSError *)error;

 

More specifically, didFailToReceiveAdWithError is not being called when the simulator device
is set to iPhone (Retina 3.5-inch) or iPhone (Retina 4-inch).

I see that ADBannerView has a new initializer called initWithAdType, so I tried that and
it still doesn't get called.

The iOS 5.0 simulator will also crash if calling initWithAdType, so I tried the following:

Code:

       ADBannerView *tmp = NULL;
        
        if( [tmp respondsToSelector:@selector(initWithAdType:)]) {
          tmp = [[ADBannerView alloc] initWithAdType:ADAdTypeBanner];      // iOS 6.0
       }
       else {
          tmp = [[ADBannerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];	// iOS 5.0
       }

But the respondsToSelector line does not return YES when running iOS 6.0.
I don't know why.

 

Well, putting the first problem aside, is this the correct way to use respondsToSelector ?

I need to initialize ADBannerView for both iOS 5 and 6, and initWithAdType only exists on iOS 6.
But, it's not working. The respondsToSelector line doesn't return "YES".

 

Thanks, that makes sense now.

I was thinking I had to call initWithAdType with iOS 6.0, otherwise my banner would be locked in portrait mode.
But I guess that doesn't matter.
