Add Ads to iOS app

Hi. I would like to have ads in my apps. I don't know (nor care really) where they are served from. Apple, Google, someone else... As long as:

  • Apple approves of them
  • I can let users get rid of them with an in-app-purchase
  • They are clean for children of any age.

Please advise how to go about this. I have no idea where to begin. I strongly hope there is a first-party solution for this, without having to use Google stuff in my apps and such.

Thank you.

Ummm...No. I believe currently Apple doesn't provide any ad solution inside apps.

To provide ads in your app you can use google's AdMob services. But you don't have to use AdMob, just search 'AdMob alternatives' and you will find other ad providers. Check if the ad provider allows you to set the ads to be child-safe (AdMob does provide this option).

  • Thanks. Any docs by Apple on how to implement such ads in an app?

  • Yeah just find a provider you would like to use. The provider you use will provide their APIs to allow you test and deploy ads. If you don't know where to start, AdMob is not a bad choice IMO.

  • Oh sorry I didn't read it carefully. No. Apple won't provide guides for how to integrate ads in your app because it might differs from providers to providers. Your ad provider will provide such guidance. If not, just search tutorials made by others and I'm sure there will be many.
