Interstitial iAd delayed after pressing button - swift

Question

I'm trying to setup iAd after clicking cancel button on JSSAlert. I have in JSSAlert function that set alpha for full view 0.7.. And in view controller I have function for iAd and set back alpha to 1.0...
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.navigationItem.title = "Vyhodnotenie testu"
self.showAlert()
}
func showAlert() {
func callback(){}
if numberOfPoints > 49 {
let customIcon = UIImage(named: "smile")
let alertview = JSSAlertView().show(self, title: "Gratulujeme! Uspeli ste.", text: "Dokončili ste test s počtom bodov \(numberOfPoints + 1) z \(maximumNumberOfPoints)!", buttonText: "OK!", color: UIColorFromHex(0x22c411, alpha: 1), iconImage: customIcon)
alertview.setTextTheme(.Light)
alertview.addAction(myCancelCallback)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.alpha = 0.7
} else {
let customIcon = UIImage(named: "sad")
let alertview = JSSAlertView().show(self, title: "Ľutujeme! Neuspeli ste.", text: "Dokončili ste test s počtom bodov \(numberOfPoints + 1) z \(maximumNumberOfPoints)!", buttonText: "OK!", color: UIColorFromHex(0xd20606, alpha: 1), iconImage: customIcon)
alertview.addAction(myCancelCallback)
alertview.setTextTheme(.Light)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.alpha = 0.7
}
}
func myCancelCallback() {
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.alpha = 1.0
self.interstitialPresentationPolicy = ADInterstitialPresentationPolicy.Automatic
}
func interstitialAdWillLoad(interstitialAd: ADInterstitialAd!) {
}
func interstitialAdDidLoad(interstitialAd: ADInterstitialAd!) {
interstitialAdView = UIView()
interstitialAdView.frame = self.view.bounds
view.addSubview(interstitialAdView)
interstitialAd.presentInView(interstitialAdView)
UIViewController.prepareInterstitialAds()
}
func interstitialAdActionDidFinish(var interstitialAd: ADInterstitialAd!) {
interstitialAd = nil
interstitialAdView.removeFromSuperview()
}
func interstitialAdActionShouldBegin(interstitialAd: ADInterstitialAd!, willLeaveApplication willLeave: Bool) -> Bool {
return true
}
func interstitialAd(interstitialAd: ADInterstitialAd!, didFailWithError error: NSError!) {
}
func interstitialAdDidUnload(var interstitialAd: ADInterstitialAd!) {
interstitialAd = nil
interstitialAdView.removeFromSuperview()
}
Alpha back to 1.0 in function myCancelCallback is working but iAd is delayed.. What can cause that delay? Or how can I deal with it?
I want to show iAd immediately after pressing OK!.
Video how it's working:

Here is what your gonna do, you have to create the interstitial including close button programmatically , i just made you a sample :
Add row in info.plist : View controller-based status bar appearance -> NO
in AppDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method add the following line to insure that status bar will be not hidden :
UIApplication.sharedApplication().setStatusBarHidden(false, withAnimation: UIStatusBarAnimation.None)
Here is a full sample view controller of how your gonna add the interstitial programmatically , but you only need to write animation when the interstitial is showing instead of just using addSubView. you can use animate transform translation you will find a lot of samples about that.
import UIKit
import iAd
class ViewController: UIViewController, ADInterstitialAdDelegate {
var interstitialAd:ADInterstitialAd!
var interstitialAdView: UIView = UIView()
var closeButton:UIButton!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(5, target: self, selector: "loadInterstitialAd", userInfo: nil, repeats: false)
}
func loadInterstitialAd() {
interstitialAd = ADInterstitialAd()
interstitialAd.delegate = self
}
func interstitialAdWillLoad(interstitialAd: ADInterstitialAd!) {
print("interstitialAdWillLoad")
}
func interstitialAdDidLoad(interstitialAd: ADInterstitialAd!) {
UIApplication.sharedApplication().setStatusBarHidden(false, withAnimation: UIStatusBarAnimation.Fade)
print("interstitialAdDidLoad")
UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarHidden = true
interstitialAdView = UIView()
interstitialAdView.frame = self.view.bounds
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.addSubview(interstitialAdView)
closeButton = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 15, y: 15, width: 20, height: 20))
//add a cross shaped graphics into your project to use as close button
closeButton.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "close"), forState: UIControlState.Normal)
closeButton.addTarget(self, action: Selector("close"), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchDown)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.addSubview(closeButton)
interstitialAd.presentInView(interstitialAdView)
UIViewController.prepareInterstitialAds()
}
func close() {
interstitialAdView.removeFromSuperview()
closeButton.removeFromSuperview()
interstitialAd = nil
UIApplication.sharedApplication().setStatusBarHidden(false, withAnimation: UIStatusBarAnimation.Fade)
}
func interstitialAdActionDidFinish(interstitialAd: ADInterstitialAd!) {
print("interstitialAdActionDidFinish")
UIApplication.sharedApplication().setStatusBarHidden(false, withAnimation: UIStatusBarAnimation.Fade)
}
func interstitialAdActionShouldBegin(interstitialAd: ADInterstitialAd!, willLeaveApplication willLeave: Bool) -> Bool {
return true
}
func interstitialAd(interstitialAd: ADInterstitialAd!, didFailWithError error: NSError!) {
print("didFailWithError")
}
func interstitialAdDidUnload(interstitialAd: ADInterstitialAd!) {
print("interstitialAdDidUnload")
close()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use.
}
}
Update: It might be you just have to call : UIViewController.prepareInterstitialAds() in viewDidLoad of your class to download the content of the interstitial so whenever you ask to present it will be ready and then might be no delay.
