I have an app with an iAd banner in the bottom of the view. I have played other apps that shows a window with an advertisement...
Anyone knows how to do that? I'm working on swift and spritekit, and I have not found documentation about that...
You are probably looking for "Interstitial Ads".
And you can find relevant information here

I wonder if it's possible to create a GUI for the iPhone home screen when an app is used?
Since I guess the answer is no (it was in the past, havn't found anything new about iOS 7): if I have an audio player, would it be possible to kind of 'route' it to the homescreen like the Podcasts app does it? I have looked for answers but only came across jailbroken solutions so far.
Is there anything one can do there? Thanks in advance.
No, the latest SDK (iOS 7.0) does not allow this, as in add custom GUI element to the lock screen. You can let the media player controls interact with your app if you are playing audio in the background.
And use the MPNowPlayingInfoCenter to display track, artist name and cover art on the lockscreen.
Apple doesn't allow any app to configure the Lock Screen in any way. You could have a music app which might display track details using the : MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.
Other than that all you can display is Notifications.
This isn't available on any version of iOS.
I'm trying to integrate adWhirl into my iPad app, but I it's doesn't seem to work.
It seems like lot's of people encountered the same issue, but I couldn't find a remedy.
I tried to stretch the adView to fit the iPad screen, but the ad remains iPhone sized.
Is there a known solution to this problem ?
This requires that you change each adapter that you would like to use.
I have written up a tutorial on how to do this with admob, iad, greystripe, and mdotm.
Take a look at it here: http://goosesoft.com/blog/universal-adwhirl-ads-in-cocos2d-2/
Edit: I have now also made a UIKit Universal Adwhirl tutorial found here: http://goosesoft.com/blog/universal-adwhirl-uikit/
Is it possible for an app to access Springboard icons? I want to build a small animation where a ball is jumping over the icons over other apps.
Here's an example what I want to achieve.
Possible?
No, this isn't possible on iOS with the official SDK.
Move to Android? No, i dont think iOS can w/o jailbreak.
Begs question - ios5? Whats gonna happen there? Maybe we will get widget framework, hopefully at a minimum something for the lock screen.
If you just wanted the effect you could have the user take a screenshot of their homescreen and use that in the animation, but thats the only way you could do that in the official SDK.
Hey guys, I've been looking at new ways to generate revenue from my iPhone apps, and have started to consider full screen ads. Do you guys know which networks provide them? I just recently read that full screen iAd only works on iPad, major bummer thumbs down
You need iAd. It shows banners which can become full-screen ads when tapped. You probably agree that full-screen ads are pretty useless if they occupy all the screen all the time, the banner idea works well.
See this iAd tutorial for the process.
For example, in CNN's iPhone app, if you rotate the phone into landscape mode, it shows all the stories as pictures that you can scroll with your finger. It looks really polished with even a "reflection" effect. I've seen another app also do this, leading me to believe that it is a standard iPhone SDK API.
Here is a link to a screenshot from the CNN app so you can see what I'm talking about:

Anyone know what Class this is?
Thanks!
Try this: Open source CoverFlow library for iPhone
Also do a google search for Coverflow. I think that might do what you want or something close to it.
