iAds

I am having the same problem. I have recently upgraded to the developer version (via Steam) and updated my project to enable iAds. However, there are no ads shown on the device. A sample project from Apple (BasicBanner) does work on the device. I've filed a bug report with Clickteam: Please login to see this link..

Are you still having the problem? Or did you manage to solve it somehow?

Cheers,

Christian

I'm looking into this

xhedgehogx: Good luck with the sales and let's hope they'll fix it soon.

Anders: Thank you! I have attached a sample project to the bug report. Let's hope that helps.

I am also interested in an update. Any News yet?

I also have problem with this. The ad did show up once when testing, but only at the top and then it started half way across the screen so you only saw the left part of it. Is it possible to center it somehow?

Also, is it possible to use admob? I am pretty sure I saw an iOS alternative in the admob manager last time i looked..

Been waiting for a fix to this.
Anyone know if there are repercussions from copy/paste to an MMF 2.0 app from 2.5?
Does iAds even work in 2.0 still? Anyone know?

I had iads working in my previous app built in 2.0, but i dont think you can copy to 2.0 from 2.5?

One of my projects was set to D3D mode, changing it to 'Standard Mode' iAds now show up while testing on PC.
Ill post here after I test on iOS.

After changing my project to 'Standard Mode' iAds did show up on my PC. They did not show up on my device.

However, I had a look on the source code in the 'CIAdViewController.m' file. And I think I've found the bug. The iAd isn't positioned properly. It is always set to a position outside of the screen.

Try to locate the positiodiAD method and search for the following line of code: 'if (app->hdr2Options&AH2OPT_IADBOTTOM)'. Now change the following block like this:

if (app->hdr2Options&AH2OPT_IADBOTTOM)
{
outPoint = CGPointMake(screen.width/4, screen.height/2+ad.height/2);
inPoint = CGPointMake(screen.width/4, screen.height/2-ad.height/2);
}
else
{
outPoint = CGPointMake(screen.width/4, -ad.height/2);
inPoint = CGPointMake(screen.width/4, ad.height/2);
}

Now the iAds should be shown on the device. However, if you have the status bar enabled, it will be shown on top of the ad. You might want to place the ad a bit further down.

Maybe this could be fixed in the next release.

P.S.: It seems like screen.width is measured in pixels whereas ad.height is measured in points. So, my code will fail on a non-retina device. It might be best to use another way to get the width and height of the screen measured in points right from the beginning.

Working on a new game and will be implementing iAds into it for the first time, hope it works.

I just released my app Match the Gems for free with ads, but I see no ads in the game. I made sure to check all the boxes in the frames and in the application to enable IAd and I made sure that on Itunes Connect that iAd is enabled for this app. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Hazzow, check the post made by Christian above.

There is currently a bug with how 2.5 is calculating the position of the iAds.

Christian posted a partial fix to the bug, a fix that will fail on pre-4s devices(non-retina).

xhedgehogx, I will have a look. I think I've fixed it. I just need to test it on a non-retina iPad.

Still need to fix the status bar issue though.

I will post an update on Monday or Tuesday.

Cheers,
Christian

Ok, I guess I've got it now. Replace the code for the '-(void)positioniAD' method with the following code (in 'CIAdViewController.m'):

#define DEVICE_SIZE [[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] rootViewController].view convertRect:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds] fromView:nil].size // Updated (Christian R.).


-(void)positioniAD
{
    CGSize ad;
    CGSize screen = CGSizeMake(DEVICE_SIZE.width, DEVICE_SIZE.height); // Updated (Christian R.).
    
    //#ifndef __IPHONE_6_0  Updated (Christian R.).
	//iOS6 phases out landscape ads completely.
	//http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/108118-landscape-iad-banners-in-ios-6-edit-landscape-phased-out-completely.html
	switch(app->actualOrientation)
	{
		case ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT:
		case ORIENTATION_PORTRAITUPSIDEDOWN:
			adView.requiredContentSizeIdentifiers=[NSSet setWithObjects:ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierPortrait, nil];
			adView.currentContentSizeIdentifier=ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierPortrait;
            break;
		case ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPERIGHT:
		case ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPELEFT:
			adView.requiredContentSizeIdentifiers=[NSSet setWithObjects:ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierLandscape, nil];
			adView.currentContentSizeIdentifier=ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierLandscape;
			break;
	}
    //#endif  Updated (Christian R.).
	ad = [self getiADSize];
    
	if (app->hdr2Options&AH2OPT_IADBOTTOM)
	{
		outPoint = CGPointMake(screen.width/2, screen.height+ad.height/2);
		inPoint = CGPointMake(screen.width/2, screen.height-ad.height/2);
	}
	else
	{
		outPoint = CGPointMake(screen.width/2, -ad.height/2);
		inPoint = CGPointMake(screen.width/2, ad.height/2);
        
        // BEGIN: Updated (Christian R.).
        UIApplication *application = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
        
        if (application.statusBarHidden == NO)
        {
            inPoint.y += MIN(application.statusBarFrame.size.width, application.statusBarFrame.size.height);
        }
        // END: Updated (Christian R.).
	}
	
	if(bShown)
		adView.center = inPoint;
	else
		adView.center = outPoint;
}

This should work for retina and non-retina devices (both in portrait and landscape mode) and it will take the status bar into account (if shown). I've tested it both on the iPhone and iPad simulators. It works fine for me. I haven't tested it with iOS 6 though.

Huge props to you Christian, thank you for your efforts, especially for sharing them with those of us completely lost with Xcode.

/kudos

arsdigita: Thank you!
