iAd left white blank screen after closed

Question

I got a problem to integrate iAd in my iPhone apps -- the banner ad is fine when it expends (see http://www.clingmarks.com/iAd1.png and http://www.clingmarks.com/iAd2.png),

Answer 1

When the banner finishes, it moves itself to the top of the screen even if that means having a negative y coordinate. I center the banner when it finishes. In my case there is a view controller for just the banner, so it is only full screen when the ad is clicked.

-(void) bannerViewActionDidFinish:(UIView *)inBanner {
    CGRect                      frame = [inBanner frame];

    frame.origin.x = frame.size.width * 0.5;
    frame.origin.y = frame.size.height * 0.5;

    [inBanner setCenter:frame.origin];
}

Answer 2

Hey David! I know what you mean, I'm also using an own AdvertisementViewController which calls different ad networks.

So iAd is not in a full screen view but inside a 320x50 view.

Simply do this:

-(void) bannerViewActionDidFinish:(ADBannerView *)inBanner {

[self.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 320.0f, 50.0f)];

}

So the outer view container (self.view) is resized to its original size. iAd is resizing it to fullscreen for displaying the ad when an iAd is shown.

Answer 3

Eventually I figured it out myself. It turns out the ADBannerView's parent view must be a fullscreen view. I my case above, I added AdBannerView to my adView, which is a view with size 320x50. When I changed its parent view to a fullscreen view, everything works. I am not sure if this is a bug in iAd, but certainly something tricky.
