thank you erel for your patience, but i have decided to use for now only admob or no ads app, because it takes weeks until they approve my apps.
those two apps will not iclude any ads (i have uploaded new builds, hopefully they will be approved soon)

thanks again

regards, ilan

Hello All,

Can someone please elaborate a bit on the following guidelines mentioned in Apple's iAd documentation?

  1. Hide blank or empty banner space. Should we use iAD_ReceiveAd to show the banner view and iAD_FailedToReceiveAd (meaning no ad received for any reason) to hide it?
  2. Share ADBannerView Instances Across Views. Does this mean we should only create one instance of AdBannerView in our app(perhaps in Main) and then re-use it across all the pages where we want to show an ad banner?
    1. I tried to do this and the banner goes blank when moving to and from the Main page. Not sure what the best way of doing this is.
  3. Display iAd Banners for at Least 30 Seconds. When are the ads rotated? The description from Apple suggests its up to the developer to rotate them, hence the requirement to show them for 30 seconds.
The link to Apple's documentation is this:

https://developer.apple.com/iad/resources/Implementing-iAd-in-Your-iOS-Apps.PDF

Many thanks.

For now I recommend you to use iAdMob library due to the unresolved issue discussed above.

1. Keep the view visible and move it in or out of the page's visible space based on these events.

2. You can move the view in the Page_Appear event.

3. This is only relevant if you manually call for a new ad (not sure how it can be done with their API).

I absolutely agree.
It is the second app was not approved because of the iAd advertising, this time even during an update.
From now on I will use only iAdmob.

Still same status, you better use iadmob for now, there is a chance they will approve your app With iad but if not only because iad then you will need to wait another 8 days

Iad's ecpm rates are higher. Is there any news when this will be fixed or what is the problem with iad on b4i ? We need these tools to have some money from the apps

If you are using a local mac try to delete all files in the build folder on your mac, then make sure iadmod is unchecked and build your app.

After submit your build you will be asked on 3 questions first 2 you choose no and the last one ask if your app provide 3rd party ads you should also choose NO only with admob we choose yes but iad we choose no and submit for review.

Good luck

i don't think i can because i tried iad on a poor game that has not much downloads and also iad doesn't support interstitial ads (as far as i know) so i think the good money is in interstitial ads and for know iadmob only support it.. correct me if i am wrong

I think iad is supporting interstitials, but the code is only for banners. What can we do to show interstitials ?

FYI.... I just uploaded an iOS app that uses iAdMob and I wasn`t allowed to say "No" for the question about my app using an Advertising Identifier. When I clicked "Yes" I then had to fill another page where I was asked why the identifier is used. One of the tick boxes is to say it is for serving ads, so I selected that.

Time will tell if I`ve done everything correctly.
