Swift - Adbannerview

Swift - ADBannerView

I've found a solution, how to implement it. (You can use inside each method "banner.alpha 1.0" or other things, too.)

//import ... your normal imports as UIKit etc.
import iAd

class YourClassViewController: UIViewController, ADBannerViewDelegate {

   @IBOutlet var adBannerView: ADBannerView //connect in IB connection inspector with your ADBannerView

   override func viewDidLoad() {
      super.viewDidLoad()

      self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
      self.adBannerView.delegate = self
      self.adBannerView.hidden = true //hide until ad loaded
   }

   func bannerViewWillLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
      NSLog("bannerViewWillLoadAd")
   }

   func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
      NSLog("bannerViewDidLoadAd")
      self.adBannerView.hidden = false //now show banner as ad is loaded
   }

   func bannerViewActionDidFinish(banner: ADBannerView!) {
      NSLog("bannerViewDidLoadAd")

      //optional resume paused game code

   }

   func bannerViewActionShouldBegin(banner: ADBannerView!, willLeaveApplication willLeave: Bool) -> Bool {
      NSLog("bannerViewActionShouldBegin")

      //optional pause game code

      return true
   }

   func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: NSError!) {
      NSLog("bannerView")
   }

   //... your class implementation code

}

iOS/Swift: more than 10 instances of ADBannerView

Why are your making an outlet for bannerView. After iOS 7 things have been changed. If you want iAds then all you need to do is add the iAdsFramework, import the framework in your UIViewController and in your viewDidLoad() write the following code

 self.canDisplayBannerAds = true;

It will start displaying ads.

UPDATE
Forget the canDisplayBannerAds thing as your requirement is different. Just create a single instance for banner View in your AppDelegate and in your view controller get that instance , set frames and add it as subview and don't forget to remove it when your controller disappears.check this link you will get the idea. stackoverflow.com/questions/28514758/…

How to add an adbannerview in UITableViewController in Swift?

Just drag a iAd Banner View to the footer of your UITableViewController in the storyboard, setup the @IBOutlet and setup the layout constraints.

Swift iAd - More than 10 instances of ADBannerView warning and CGAffineTransformInvert: singular matrix output

The issue is every time you load your view you are creating a new instance of ADBannerView. What we need to do is create a ADBannerView once in our AppDelegate.swift and then present this ADBannerView on which ever views we would like to have an iAd banner. This is also called a Shared iAd Banner. In this example, I've created an ADBannerView in my AppDelegate.swift and then added it to my ViewController.swift's view.

AppDelegate.swift

import UIKit
import iAd // Import iAd

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, ADBannerViewDelegate { // Include the delegate for our banner

    var window: UIWindow?
    var adBannerView = ADBannerView() // Create our one ADBannerView

    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
        // Set delegate and hide banner initially
        adBannerView.delegate = self
        adBannerView.hidden = true
        return true
    }

    func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
        print("bannerViewDidLoadAd")
        adBannerView.hidden = false
    }

    func bannerViewActionDidFinish(banner: ADBannerView!) {
        print("bannerViewActionDidFinish")
    }

    func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: NSError!) {
        print("didFailToReceiveAdWithError: \(error)")
        adBannerView.hidden = true
    }

ViewController.swift

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    let appDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate // Create reference to our app delegate

    override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
        // Position
        appDelegate.adBannerView.center = CGPoint(x: view.frame.midX,
            y: view.frame.height - appDelegate.adBannerView.frame.height / 2)
        // Add to view
        view.addSubview(appDelegate.adBannerView)
    }

Don't forget to remove the code from your viewWillDisappear(animated: Bool) function that you added previously. If you click on the banner and then dismiss it this function will be called and removing our banner from our view and setting our banners delegate equal to nil too soon will cause issues.

AdBannerView in TableViewController is shown after TableView

If all you want is a banner ad at the bottom of the screen, you can simply say something like

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
    }

And it will work automagically as they say.

I would recommend watching this video to understand the iAd API

Swift / iAd bannerView / how to set the position

Try as Follow:

var adBannerView: ADBannerView  
adBannerView = ADBannerView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, screenBounds.width))
adBannerView.center = CGPoint(x: screenBounds.width/2, y: screenBounds.height-adBannerView.frame.height)
adBannerView.delegate = self
adBannerView.hidden = true
view.addSubview(adBannerView)

Hiding iAd ADBannerView in Swift when ad fails to load - no delegate or delegate does not implement didFailToReceiveAdWithError

Delegate methods will not be called when using self.canDisplayBannerAds = true. You need to create an ADBannerView yourself and set its delegate for the delegate methods to be called, for example, bannerView.delegate = self.

self.canDisplayBannerAds = true is a no hassle way of implementing iAd banners. It will create an ADBannerView for you, display it if it receives an ad, and hide it if it does not receive an ad. There is no need to implement delegate methods when implementing your iAd banner in this way.

So you have two options, remove var bannerView = ADBannerView() and use the iAd banner that self.canDisplayBannerAds = true provides, or remove self.canDisplayBannerAds = true and finish implementing your own ADBannerView.

If you decide to implement your own ADBannerView check my answer here, just ignore the AdMob implementation.

ADBannerView not showing up

You have not added the banner view to your view. You have called self.view.addSubview(iAdBanner) in bannerViewDidLoadAd which will not get called before adding the banner view. You need to add the banner view beforehand (e.g. in viewDidLoad).

Also, you cant change the banner view frame to any size you want .

Read through the Banner View Sizes in iAD Programming Guide (actually read the entire guide). It has code snippets (in ObjC not Swift though).

It clearly says :

iAd supports different banner sizes for portrait and landscape apps.
The exact size of advertisements depends on the device the banner is
being shown on. On an iPhone, a portrait advertisement is 320 x 50
points and 480 x 32 points for a landscape advertisement. On an iPad,
a portrait advertisement is 768 x 66 points and 1024 x 66 points for a
landscape advertisement. In the future, additional sizes may be
exposed by iAd.

And in the next paragraph:

To ensure that advertisements are displayed properly, a banner view
must always be sized to match one of the built-in advertising sizes.
The ADBannerView class enforces this by preventing you from changing
the frame directly. Instead, you change a banner view’s frame by
setting the currentContentSizeIdentifier property. Changing the value
stored in this property resizes the banner view’s frame to the match
the size for the provided identifier.

How to make close button for iAdbannerView

This is the way to do it programmatically :

Create a UIButton under adBannerView:

var button = UIButton()

In viewDidLoad instantiate the button and place it at the right top side of the adBannerView :

button.frame = CGRectMake(self.view.center.x + 150, self.view.frame.size.height - 66, 10, 10)
button.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "Yourclosebuttonimagename"), forState: UIControlState.Normal)
self.view.addSubview(button)
button.addTarget(self, action: "hideAd:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)

The function will be called hideAd :

func hideAd(sender:AnyObject){

self.adBannerView.hidden = true
self.button.hidden = true
// or do 
self.button.removeFromSuperview()
self.adBannerView.removeFromSuperview()
}

I recommend you remove self.canDisplayBannerAds = true because self.adBannerView!.delegate = self is enough to run the iAd.

Good luck !
