I've a tableview which displays advertisement if user is NOT premium. But in this case if the user IS premium I'm hiding the advertisement by adding this code:
func adView(_ bannerView: GADBannerView, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: GADRequestError)
{
advertisementBanner.isHidden = true
topConstraint.constant = 0
tableView.layoutIfNeeded()
tableView.updateConstraints()
}
So, when I run this code and the advertisement is hidden I can't still tap on the area where the advertisement is located. Its like its still there but hidden, and I've no idea how I can solve this issue.
So my question is: How can I make the area where my ad is located clickable if the ad is NOT shown? I hope you understand what I mean.
Try this
advertisementBanner.isUserInteractionEnabled = false

In June, Admob adverts worked perfectly and AdMob sent a letter with a verification PIN for me to verify my identity & payment details.
Around the beginning of July, nearly all live ads stopped displaying in my app. I am still making the same number of requests, but impressions are so low I have dropped to £0.00/£0.01 a day. All test ads work correctly.
This issue began around the time I renamed my app (only on the app store display), however; all links to my app in my AdMob account are correct so the name change appears to have made no difference on their front-end UI.
When I debug my app, I get a list of warnings in the output section:
[I-ACS025031] AdMob App ID changed. Original, new: (nil), AppId
My 'GADApplicationIdentifier' value in my info.plist is the same as the 'new' app id.
[I-ACS013003] User property name must start with a letter: _ap
I am not setting any user properties, no idea what this means.
What have I tried?
Setting up new ad units.
Reverting back to an older version of the app.
Contacted AdMob 'support' via a form. They told me my ad serving is being limited. They did not say for how long and it has been around 2/3 weeks (by 'limited', I don't think they meant completely stopped).
Checked for policy violations in my account; nothing is there.
Code I use to display ads:
I have created an 'AdMobDisplayer' class that allows me to set up and display ads; this is called by each view controller. For example, my banner ads code:
View Controller:
let adMobDisplayer = AdMobDisplayer()
#IBOutlet weak var bannerView: GADBannerView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.bannerView = self.adMobDisplayer.setupAdBannerView(self.bannerView, viewController: self, adUnitId: Constants.timerTabBannerAdId)
self.adMobDisplayer.displayBannerAd(self.bannerView)
}
AdMobDisplayer:
func setupAdBannerView(_ bannerView: GADBannerView, viewController: UIViewController, adUnitId: String, bannerViewDelgate: GADBannerViewDelegate? = nil) -> GADBannerView {
if(checkIfAdsAreDisabled()) {
return bannerView
}
/// Creates a new GADBannerView to be displayed in a view controller
bannerView.adUnitID = adUnitId
/// bannerView.adUnitID = Constants.testBannerAdId
bannerView.rootViewController = viewController
if let delegate = bannerViewDelgate {
bannerView.delegate = delegate
}
return bannerView
}
func displayBannerAd(_ bannerView: GADBannerView) {
if(checkIfAdsAreDisabled()) {
return
}
///Creates a request and loads an advert from AdMob
let request = GADRequest()
request.testDevices = [ "My Device Id" ]
bannerView.load(request)
}
This should display a banner ad in the view. It worked when I first added adverts in, it works for test adverts, but intermittently/rarely for live adverts now.

Thanks in advance for any help!
I recently worked on GADBannerView in my last app and had almost similar issue, in your case you may need to generate Admob ad id, from their website.
So I fixed this ages ago, but, my fix was to add the required 'NSAppTransportSecurity' keys into my info.plist.

So I have a an app that uses interstitial ads. Specifically it is a a SpriteKit game written with Swift.
I have code setup that when the user presses the replay button from the game over scene an ad appears and then it changes back to the game scene to replay the game. Now where I am running into problems the scene changes while the interstitial ad is being displayed, sometimes this doesn't happen fast enough and user can tap the restart button again, causing the game to crash.
Is there a way to freeze the screen and ignore any taps while the ad is being called? And also to only have the scene change after the ad is dismissed?
The code when the restart button is pressed;
if restartButton.contains(pointOfTouch) {
score = 0
ballMovementSpeed = 2
displayAd()
delay(2.0) {
self.restartScene()
}
I am a bit confused as to where the interstitialDelegate is placed. I am trying to implement func interstitialDidDismissScreen(ad: GADInterstitial!) {} to trigger a change back to my game scene and nothing happens when I dismiss the ad.
I have tried placing it in override func didMove(to view: SKScene){} as well as when the restart button is pressed and still won't work. This is how i have the ad being called
fun loadAndShow() {
myAd = GADInterstitial()
let requestI = GADRequest()
myAd.setAdUnitID("adID")
requestI.testDevices = [kGADSimulatorID, "test device"]
myAd.delegate = self
myAd.load(requestI)
}
func interstitialDidReceiveAd(_ ad: GADInterstitial) {
if (self.myAd.isReady) {
myAd.present(fromRootViewController: self)
}
}
you can use delegate methods of admob so when interstitial is going to be shown you can remove the restart button or put a condition so that it would not work when ad is shown. Also to pause the game is also important if it is running using isPaused bool.

The problem is that Apple rejects my app because when the button is clicked to purchase the "no ads" upgrade, it doesn't make the banner disappear until you close the app and re-open it. This is because I initialize all my RevMob code in the viewController.swift file. I have a boolean in place that turns to false as soon as the upgrade is purchase inside this viewController.swift file. So next time you open the app and the viewController loads, the boolean is set to false and it doesn't allow the ads to appear.
Anybody know if this is the wrong way to go about this? Or is there an easy way to make them disappear immediately upon press of the no Ads button without having to close the app and re-open it?
//BANNER AD =======================================
let bannerBlock: () -> Void = {
//Custom method defined below
if UserDefaults.standard.object(forKey: "adsBool") as! Bool == true
{
self.showBannerWithCustomFrame()
}
else
{
//don't show ads because user purchased
}
}
let bannerFailBlock: ((Error?) -> Void) = {error in
NSLog("[RevMob Sample App] Session failed to start with error: \(error!.localizedDescription)")
}
RevMobAds.startSession(withAppID: "00000000000000000000",
withSuccessHandler: bannerBlock,
andFailHandler: bannerFailBlock)
This is how my bannerView is set up in my GameViewController
class GameViewController: UIViewController, RevMobAdsDelegate {
var bannerView:RevMobBannerView?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
From RevMob's banner documentation, there's a method called hideAd. Calling that method on the IAP callback would solve your problem right?
To hide the banner:
banner!.hideAd()
Let me see if i got your problem correctly, you want to hide your banner as soon as the purchase is made.
First, you need to set the bannerView as a property of your viewController.
Then you have to add this code inside the callback from the purchase success:
viewController.bannerView.removeFromSuperview();
I fixed it! Thanks for your help. I had to move the code from the GameViewController to the GameScene for the bannerAd so that I could remove it as soon as the purchase was made. Works perfectly.
I just integrated iAds into my app and they work perfectly. The only problem is that there is a delay on the page before the ad shows up. I'd like to preload the ads as soon as the app is launched. I have one medium rectangle ad and one regular banner ad (on different views in the app).
Medium rectangle is loaded on viewDidLoad() of ReadingVC.swift like this:
var rectangleAdView = ADBannerView(adType: ADAdType.MediumRectangle)
// Show banner ad
rectangleAdView?.delegate = self
With the following functions:
func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
println("bannerViewDidLoadAd - Ad shown on app")
self.view.addSubview(banner)
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError
error: NSError!) {
banner.removeFromSuperview()
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
}
The regular banner is loaded on viewDidLoad() of LibraryVC.swift in the same fashion, just with ADAdType.Banner instead of ADAdType.MediumRectangle
How can this be done?
There will always be a bit of a delay because the application has to grab the ads from the iAd CDN. Now, if you have a view that shows before either ReadingVC and LibraryVC, you can always try to load the ads there beforehand. To do this, you'd probably need to create a separate singleton class to hold all of your iAd code, and then access that class from all of the places you need to display or try to preload an iAd.
I'm working on a iOS game in swift.
I'm trying to add an interstitial ad.
What I would like to do is when the game is over, displaying an Ad.
After closing it, the user can launch another game.
When the game is over I call this method:
func showFullScreenAd() {
if requestingAd == false {
interstitial = ADInterstitialAd()
interstitial!.delegate = self
requestingAd = true
}
}
func interstitialAdDidLoad(interstitialAd: ADInterstitialAd!) {
if interstitial?.loaded==true{
....}
}
The ad will be displayed when interstitialAdDidLoad is called.
So, between showFullScreenAd() and interstitialAdDidLoad some times we may have several seconds (the time for the ad to load) so the user can click on 'new game' and starts the game.
So, the game will begin and then the ad will be displayed (I'm handling the pause mode also) but it's weird to start the game and to have the ad showing up.
I'm thinking about the following case:
doing
interstitial = ADInterstitialAd()
when loading the game
and when the game is over just show the ad (if available), and doing it again after that.
What do you think about this ?
Thanks.
C.C.
You have to add the ad onto the view as a subview right? So load it and add it to the view when you are ready to. I'm assuming that you're doing it before interstitialAdDidLoad at the moment?
