Swift: iAd UITableViewController position - ios

Question

I've created an iAd banner in the storyboard by dragging into the UITableViewController
In my UITableViewController, I have these codes
#IBOutlet var adBannerView: ADBannerView!
In ViewDidLoad
self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
self.adBannerView.delegate = self
self.adBannerView.hidden = true
And these delegates method
func bannerViewActionShouldBegin(banner: ADBannerView!, willLeaveApplication willLeave: Bool) -> Bool {
return true
}
func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
self.adBannerView.hidden = false
}
func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: NSError!) {
println("didFailToReceiveAdWithError")
self.adBannerView.hidden = true
}
Sometimes when the UITableViewLoads, it would look like this

The iAd will be at the bottom of the TableView and it moves with it
However sometimes it would just load at the bottom of the View with a fixed position which is what i want.
How do i get the iAd to be fixed at the bottom and doesn't moves with the tableview?

Answer 1

Your issue is that you are actually creating two ADBannerView's here. Once in Interface Builder and another in your viewDidLoad with self.canDisplayBannerAds = true. Remove self.canDisplayBannerAds = true from your viewDidLoad to correct this.
To pin your ADBannerView you created in Interface Builder to the bottom of your applications view you need to set its constraints. Pin your ADBannerView to the bottom of the view with Bottom Space to: Bottom Layout Guide and align it to Align Center X to: Superview in Interface Builder.
This will keep the ADBannerView on the bottom of your applications view and resize it appropriately when on devices with different screen dimensions.

I was unable to add any constraints in the storyboard. I removed the iAd banner from storyboard and just use:
self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
Now it works fine

I had a similar problem so I just coded my manually. Nothing worked when my code was in ViewDidLoad but instead ViewWillAppear all I needed was
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
self.banner.delegate = self
}
And of course add the ADBannerViewDelegate at the top of the class then its methods:
let banner = ADBannerView(adType: .Banner)
func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
self.view.addSubview(banner)
}
func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: NSError!) {
banner.removeFromSuperview()
}
