I have the following code.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
self.theTopAdBannerView?.hidden = false
func loadAds(){
theTopAdBannerView.delegate = self
theTopAdBannerView.hidden = false
view.addSubview(theTopAdBannerView)
}
loadAds()
}
I made sure I linked up theTopAdBannerView outlet to the AdBanner. When I open it, it just shows a blank white space on where I placed the AdBanner in the storyboard. Why aren't my ads showing up?
I get this error
Error Domain=ADErrorDomain Code=5 "The operation couldn’t be completed. Banner view is visible but does not have content" UserInfo=0x7f9e2b5e3640 {ADInternalErrorCode=5, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Banner view is visible but does not have content, ADInternalErrorDomain=ADErrorDomain}
Below code worked for me, Hope it works for you as well.
func displayAd(){
adBannerView = ADBannerView(frame: CGRect.zeroRect)
adBannerView.center = CGPoint(x: adBannerView.center.x, y: view.bounds.size.height - adBannerView.frame.size.height / 2)
adBannerView.delegate = self
adBannerView.hidden = true
view.addSubview(adBannerView)
}
Calling loadAds from viewDidLoad method.
In didLoadAd method made adBannerView.hidden = false
AND
In didFailToReceiveAdWithError made adBannerView.hidden = true
Apparently my ad wasn't loading. All of a sudden it loads fine now. The code is fine.

I'm trying to place an image behind the status bar.
I'm able to turn it transparent but It's still blocking the image from appearing behind it.
Does anybody know how to make the status bar apart of the editable screen and/or safe area? I don't want to delete it, just want to put stuff behind it.
Here's what IB looks like
Code
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate()
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
venueInfoTableView.dataSource = self
venueInfoTableView.delegate = self
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
venueInfoTableView.separatorStyle = .none
}
override var preferredStatusBarStyle : UIStatusBarStyle {
return UIStatusBarStyle.lightContent
//return UIStatusBarStyle.default // Make dark again
}
And here's the result
You should disable automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets
if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
self.venueInfoTableView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .never
} else {
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false
}
contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior This property specifies how the safe
area insets are used to modify the content area of the scroll view.
The default value of this property is automatic.
I am trying to test a landscape view, but so far I cannot make progress. My code looks like this:
import UIKit
import PlaygroundSupport
class MyViewController : UIViewController {
override func loadView() {
let view = UIView()
view.backgroundColor = .white
let label = UILabel()
label.text = "Hallo"
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
view.addSubview(label)
self.view = view
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([label.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor, constant: 20),
label.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor)])
simulateDeviceRotation(toOrientation: .landscapeLeft)
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
//simulateDeviceRotation(toOrientation: .landscapeLeft)
}
}
// Present the view controller in the Live View window
func simulateDeviceRotation(toOrientation orientation: UIDeviceOrientation) {
let orientationValue = NSNumber(value: orientation.rawValue)
UIDevice.current.setValue(orientationValue, forKey: "orientation")
}
PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = MyViewController()
When I uncomment the call to simulateDeviceRotation(toOrientation:) in loadView(), the result is:
Rotation in loadView()
And, when I uncomment simulateDeviceRotation(toOrientation:) in viewDidAppear(_:), the result is:
rotation in viewDidAppear(_:)
Of course, I would like to see the second result, but with the horizontal rotation of the first. Can you please point me in the right direction? I am missing something but I have not been able to finde it.
Don't mess with orientation, you won't succeed.
Change the last line of your code to:
var myViewController = MyViewController()
myViewController.preferredContentSize = CGSize(width: 668, height: 375)
PlaygroundPage.current.liveView = myViewController
and remove everything that handles with device orientation in loadView, viewDidAppear and remove method simulateDeviceRotation.
Update
If you set an arbitrary value as preferredContentSize, you will get into problems with constraints or worse like the view is displaced in the live view.
What I did: first read the default values of current content size:
print(myViewController.preferredContentSize)
This was 375.0 as width and 668.0 as height for me.
So just swap this values for the new preferredContentSize and everything should be fine.
I have an AdBannerView inside my game, but it keeps showing randomly even though I set it to hidden, it pops from the bottom pushing the view up.
Here's the code I have thus far in GameScene:
var iAd = ADBannerView()
override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
iAd.delegate = self
iAd.hidden = true
iAd.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleTopMargin
view.addSubview(iAd)
}
func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
if (!isStarted){ // <- If game has started
iAd.hidden = false
}
}
func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: NSError!) {
print("Ad Fail")
iAd.hidden = true
}
func newGame() {
iAd.hidden = true
}
func gameOver() {
iAd.hidden = false
}
Sometimes the ad shows during gameplay, sometimes it shows at the top, other times at the bottom.
My questions are:
How do I position it at the top?
How do I make it so that it stops appearing during gameplay?
How do I make it stop pushing the view up?
How do I make it stop showing if it failed to load (it currently does show)
MORE INFO: I tried this code in ViewController, but ended up with the same results.
For question 1: You have set the frame property to position the banner ad:
iAd.frame = CGRectMake(0, view.frame.size.height - iAd.frame.size.height, view.frame.size.width, iAd.frame.size.height);
Sounds like you've created an ADBannerView in Interface Builder in addition to including self.canDisplayBannerAds somewhere in your project.
The ADBannerView displaying on the bottom of your devices screen is created by self.canDisplayBannerAds = true. self.canDisplayBannerAds = true can be used for a no hassle way of implementing iAd banners in your application. This will create an ADBannerView for you and show or hide the ADBannerView depending on whether it receives an ad or not from the iAd network.
If you have included self.canDisplayBannerAds = true in your project you need to remove it.
As for hiding the ADBannerView when it fails to receive an advertisement, you need to implement the ADBannerView's delegate methods: ADBannerViewDelegate Protocol Reference. Then, in bannerView(_:didFailToReceiveAdWithError:) you'd set your ADBannerView's alpha property to 0.
I'm having an issue between an iAd BannerView, created in IB, and its constraints. I have an IBOutlet for bottom constraint of an iAd BannerView with superview. In viewDidLoad() of ViewController I set the outlet to 0 minus banner height to put iAd BannerView outside the bottom screen margin.
#IBOutlet var adBannerView: ADBannerView!
#IBOutlet var adBannerBottomConstraints: NSLayoutConstraint!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Configure answers index
self.arrayAnswIndex = ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"]
// TableView Cell
var nib = UINib(nibName: "QuestionTableViewCell", bundle: nil)
self.simulazioneTableView.registerNib(nib, forCellReuseIdentifier: self.QuestionCellIdentifier)
var nibAnswer = UINib(nibName: "AnswerTableViewCell", bundle: nil)
self.simulazioneTableView.registerNib(nibAnswer, forCellReuseIdentifier: self.AnswerCellIdentifier)
// NavigationBar
self.navigationBarSettings()
// TabBar
self.tabBarController?.tabBar.hidden = true
// iAd Banner
adBannerView.hidden = true
adBannerBottomConstraints.constant = 0 - self.adBannerView.bounds.size.height
}
When ad is loaded I animate constraint to show the banner with:
func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
if (adBannerView.hidden == true) {
//now show banner
adBannerView.hidden = false
self.adBannerBottomConstraints.constant = self.adBannerBottomConstraints.constant + self.adBannerView.frame.size.height
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.4, animations: {
self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
})
}
}
The problem is that in iOS 8 everything works fine, in iOS 7 instead iAd BannerView is twice its size under bottom margin after viewDidLoad() and so when ad is loaded the banner remains outside the screen.
I have temporarily resolved the issue checking the device version and modifying the constraint accordingly in viewDidLoad().
// iAd Banner
adBannerView.hidden = true
if ((UIDevice.currentDevice().systemVersion as NSString).floatValue >= 8.0) {
adBannerBottomConstraints.constant = 0 - self.adBannerView.bounds.size.height
} else {
adBannerBottomConstraints.constant = 0
}
There is a better way to accomplish my purpose?
Thank you guys!
Andrea

But that's your whole problem right there. This is exactly the sort of hard-coded arithmetic calculation based on assumptions about the actual values of things that constraints mean you should not be doing. The whole point of autolayout is that you do not calculate anything: you set constraints that describe where the view should be. If you want this thing to be below the bottom of the superview, pin its top to the bottom of the superview!
Then, when you want to show it, delete that constraint and pin its bottom wherever it needs to go so that it appears at the bottom.
I have been working on a mainly text-based application with an Iadbanner in the bottom.
However as we all know, Iads aren't always there. So I would like to be able to dynamically update the height of my textView, so when the banner is hidden, the textView takes up the wasted space. And resize it when a banner is loaded.
Here's what I currently have for the Viewcontroller in question
import UIKit
import iAd
class DetailVC: UIViewController, UITextViewDelegate, ADBannerViewDelegate {
//Our label for displaying var "Items/cellName"
#IBOutlet var imageViewOutlet: UIImageView!
//connect in IB connection inspector with your ADBannerView
#IBOutlet var adBannerView: ADBannerView!
//Receiving variable assigned to our mainVC var "items"
var cellName: String = ""
var imageView: UIImageView = UIImageView()
var image = UIImage(named: "handcuffs.png")
var textViewText: String = ""
var textView: UITextView = UITextView(frame: CGRect(x: 5.0, y: 238.0, width: 315.00, height: 283.00))
//height = 332 for full screen 283 for small
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
println("+--------------------+")
println("| Detail view loaded |")
println("+--------------------+")
// Iad stuff
self.adBannerView.delegate = self
self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
self.adBannerView.hidden = true //hide until ad loaded
//Setting up the textView
textView.text = textViewText
textView.editable = false
textView.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
textView.font = UIFont(name: "Helvetica", size: 15)
//adding textview as subview
self.view.addSubview(textView)
//ImageViewOutlets
imageViewOutlet.image = image
//Assign your string var to your navbar title
self.title = cellName
func bannerViewWillLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
NSLog("bannerViewWillLoadAd")
}
func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
NSLog("bannerViewDidLoadAd")
//self.textView.removeFromSuperview()
//textView = UITextView(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 238.0, width: 320.00, height: 283.00))
//self.view.addSubview(textView)
self.adBannerView.hidden = false //now show banner as ad is loaded
}
func bannerViewActionDidFinish(banner: ADBannerView!) {
NSLog("bannerViewActionDidFinish")
//optional resume paused app code
}
func bannerViewActionShouldBegin(banner: ADBannerView!, willLeaveApplication willLeave: Bool) -> Bool {
NSLog("bannerViewActionShouldBegin")
//optional pause app code
return true
}
func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: NSError!) {
NSLog("didFailToReceiveAdWithError")
}
//... your class implementation code
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}
The commented out code in the function "bannerViewDidLoadAd" is what I thought would have fixed my issue. Sadly that function seems to never run? I'm not very familiar with Iads so hopefully someone out there can give me a hint as to how to change the height of a textView when an ad loads.
CanDisplayBannerAds :
Set this to enable automatic management of banner ad display with the view controller. It's important to note that this will modify the view hierarchy of the view controller by inserting a new container view above the view controller's view. The impact is that the view controller's view property will no longer return the originally provided view, it will return the new container. To access the original view, use the originalContentView property.
So, remove this line :
self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
Everything should work.
