Shared iAd banner - ios

Question

I am making the iAds in my app to be loaded in the app delegate. It loads fine however in the view controllers, it will not show.
My code in the app delegate to declare the ad is
var UIiAd: ADBannerView = ADBannerView()
My code in the view controller is
class HelpViewController: UIViewController, ADBannerViewDelegate {
//MARK: - Properties
var UIiAd: ADBannerView = ADBannerView()
//MARK: - did something
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
//super.viewWillAppear(animated)
let ScreenHeight = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.height
UIiAd.delegate = self
UIiAd = self.appDelegate().UIiAd
UIiAd.frame = CGRectMake(0, ScreenHeight - 50, 0, 0)
UIiAd.hidden = true
self.view.addSubview(UIiAd)
}
override func viewWillDisappear(animated: Bool) {
UIiAd.delegate = nil
UIiAd.removeFromSuperview()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
//MARK: - iAd
func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
UIView.beginAnimations(nil, context: nil)
UIView.setAnimationDuration(1)
UIiAd.hidden = false
UIView.commitAnimations()
print("Did load ad")
}
func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: NSError!) {
UIView.beginAnimations(nil, context: nil)
UIView.setAnimationDuration(0)
UIiAd.hidden = true
UIView.commitAnimations()
print("Did fail to receive ad with error \(error)")
}
//MARK: - Functions
func appDelegate() -> AppDelegate {
return UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate
}
}
What seems to be the problem is, bannerViewDidLoadAd doesn't ever get called. How would I unhide the banner if it loads?

Answer 1

I have actually fixed this. What you need to do in the app delegate is
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, ADBannerViewDelegate
Then you want to make a bool that changes if the ad is loaded
Then you want to add the function func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
adLoaded = true
}
This will change the value when the ad is loaded
Then in your view controller you want to do
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
//super.viewWillAppear(animated)
let ScreenHeight = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.height
UIiAd.delegate = self
UIiAd = self.appDelegate().UIiAd
UIiAd.frame = CGRectMake(0, ScreenHeight - 50, 0, 0)
canDisplayBannerAds = true
if appDelegate().adLoaded == true {
self.view.addSubview(UIiAd)
}
}
This will add the ad to your view controller will not if the ad is not loaded
