Today I finished my project and wanted to upload it to the AppStore. Now I want to implement iAd.
I have 4 views in my application and switch via
[self presentModalViewController:eas animated:YES];
between them. I want to show an iAd banner in all of them. I found shared iAd on the internet but it just works with navigationcontrollers or tab bars. Is there another option of me to implement iAd in every view?
Cheers

You can create a subclass of UIViewController which sets up the iAd and use it for your viewcontrollers.
The better way to do this (to avoid subclassing which locks you into using that subclass) would probably be to create a category for UIViewController that sets up the iAd and just use that.

I have seen some tutorials about iphone development, but they're before ARC and before storyboard it seems.
The guy creates a switch that will switch between two views.
A class with a blue background, and a class with a red background.
How would you do this in IOS5 with storyboard?
I've heard about segues, but they get a 'back' button, which the guy in the tutorial didnt get - he simply changed between views my tapping the switch/button.
You better go through this tutorials to understand how to develop app in IOS 5. The tutorials, which you have already seen are for ios4 and prior to it. Also you can use those in IOS 5 too. But Storyboard is much easier than XIB.

Anyway #dew given you the correct answer.
You need to add 2 View Controllers into your storyboard and then embed in navigation controller. After you create some button in one view, you just gotta ctrl-drag it to the other view and select push, that should do it. Or simply chech out this tutorial http://maybelost.com/2011/10/tutorial-storyboard-in-xcode-4-2-with-navigation-controller-and-tabbar-controller-part1/ :)
I would highly suggest watching the first 2 or 3 lectures of Stanford's CS193P introductory iPhone programming course. It's free and will start you off on the right foot. It's also targeted for iOS5 and Xcode 4. Check it out at:

To answer your question, moving between view controllers is usually done using a container controller or pushing view controllers 'modally'. I would suggest reading the View Controller Programming Guide put out by apple for an overview of how these things work.
In iOS5 you can use storyboards to set-up segues (as you suggested). They don't always 'give you a back' button, only when you segue between view controllers within a navigation controller. You can have a button push a view controller onto a screen by setting up target-action.
Again, the iTunesU lectures will cover all this. Check it out!
I am trying to create multiple views in my view-based iPhone app in Xcode 4. I have followed many tutorials and read many articles but none of them have worked. I figured out that they require a Navigation Controller. How can I create 2 views that are switched with a button without a Navigation Controller?
Thanks!
I would use presentModalViewController. There are a ton of youtube videos on how to switch views, some of them don't have presentModalViewController so you have to watch the video to see if they write presentModalViewController in their code. I always use presentModalViewController.
you can create one additional view and keep it as a retained variable in your controller and on demand, you can do
[self.view addSubview:secondView];
//or - to remove second view and show first view
[secondView removeFromSuperView];
Why not use a UINavigationController but disable the navigation bar?
It's the easiest way to do it. And it will avoid many issues that can come about with incorrect view controller programming. Your users will never know the difference - there are no visual clues that you've done it that way.
I want to create an iPhone (not iPad) app with a split screen view that shows two view controllers on the same screen, one on the left and one on the right of the screen (landscape only).
Is there a way to make UISplitViewController work for iPhone, or is there an open source library i can use to achieve this look?
As said, you can not use a split view controller. However, I dont think you need it anyway. Its a little cumbersome and restrictive.
You can achieve the effect of the split view controller easily using subviews. (Try to avoid using multiple view controllers as this is generally bad practice).
Create two custom views and ad them as sub views to the main view. Look at their auto resizing properties. Try to use interface builder. Show / hide you side view when the user rotates.
UISplitViewControllers aren't that useful - you can mimic their effectes easily.
There is no way you can achieve this using the UISplitViewController class. If you take a look at the Apple reference documents it clearly states that the UISplitViewController is an iPad-specific viewcontroller.
Note this point
If you are developing a universal application, though, be sure not to create and use these controllers when your application is running on an iPhone or iPod touch.
I'm trying to integrate iAds to iPhone app. It makes me very confusing.
my app got many view controllers with uitableviews.
Should I integrate iAds at every view controller or
should I add it in mainwindow.xib (i add iAds codes to AppDelegate.h .m) or
should I create iAdsViewcontroller.h .m & .xib?
if I add iAds to mianwindow.xib, how do i handle delegates like bannerViewDidLoadAd (need to resize uitableview according to bannerview is visibie or not).
If i integrate at every view controller, banner would be switching along with the app views. I read somewhere if the app doesn't show an Ad for at least 30 seconds, it will lose ecpm.
Any thoughts will be appreciated... =)
Apple iAd Documentation Best Practices
I am working with developing an iPad application. In that i have to display two table views and one web view in a single view. UISplitViewController allows to add two controller only. Please any one help me.
UISplitViewController cannot be configured to use more than 2 sections. If you want to have this functionality in a view controller, you have to write your own. Matt Gemmell's open-source MGSplitViewController might be a good place to start your coding.
Of course, you can also just add the three views as subviews to a plain UIViewController subclass.
