iAd not working

Pasted is the code I am trying:

import UIKit
import iAd
var bannerView: ADBannerView!
class ViewController: UIViewController, ADBannerViewDelegate {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    }

}

I treid putting the following statementto check whether Ads are getting displayed:

self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
print("Ad is shown???? ", self.displayingBannerAd)

But this returns false at all ocassions. Please help.

Hello!

The code seem to be fine. Have you checked developer settings from the testing device: Settings -> Developer? There's iAd Developer App Testing part where fill rate should be bigger than 0 %. If fill rate is set to zero, ads will never be loaded.

Hi Jyri

Thanks for the response.

Currently I am testing only on simulator; but, iAds does not show up on simulator?

Thanks

I tried on iPAD; still not showing any Ads. Checked the fill rates and other options; all are set to maximum. Fill Rate - 100%; Ad Refresh Rate - 15s; Unlimited Ad Presentation, etc.

Hi!

iAds should work on simulator also, at least I get them to work with simulator.

Only thing that comes to my mind looking at your code is that you have bannerview variable and ADBannerViewDelegate but you use neither in your code. And also you don't implement the delegate. Try to delete ADBannerViewDelegate protocol and bannerview delegate. I have included the code below which works for me.

import UIKit
import iAd
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {       
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    }
}

You need also import iAd framework to your project. From the navigator, click the topmost item e.g. your project, then select your app from targets and in Build Phases page you need to select Link Binary With Libraries where you can add iAd framework via plus symbol.

You do not need the bannerView object nor to add the delegate, just canDisplayBannerAds. Give it a few moments to load, a sample will be displayed in the simulator. Checking if the banner is displayed immediately after will likely return false as the banner will not immediately be on screen.

Hope that helps.

Hi Josh, Jyri

Thank you for being supportive; tried all of these, still no Ads showing up ... Not having any idea how to proceed.... 😐

My iad requests and impressions dropped to zero around mid-Oct 2015 and I haven't seen them start up again even after releasing an update (making sure the tests ads worked during debug and through testflight) more than a week ago. Would love to either get a response why or have my app start receiving impressions.
