I have a problem. The callback “bannerViewDidLoadAd” is never called. only “didFailToReceiveAdWithError” is called each time and the ad Banner is never shoed.
I followed the steps exactly, any clue ???

@luca: Good question, never thought of that, not sure how it affects the revenue. Yeah that does seem like a good way to do it, you could have a little helper class to manage the view or some such.

@Andre: Not sure, the ads appear OK in the example for me.

@Gavin: Cool, thanks for sharing the code!

Also, the code for Part 3: fixupAdView can be DRY’d up like this:

- (void)fixupAdView:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation {
if (_adBannerView != nil) {
if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(toInterfaceOrientation)) {
[_adBannerView setCurrentContentSizeIdentifier: ADBannerContentSizeIdentifier480x32];
[self layoutAdBannerView:0 contentViewFrame:[self getBannerHeight:toInterfaceOrientation]];
} else {
[_adBannerView setCurrentContentSizeIdentifier: ADBannerContentSizeIdentifier320x50];
[self layoutAdBannerView:-[self getBannerHeight:toInterfaceOrientation] contentViewFrame:0];
}
[UIView beginAnimations:@"fixupViews" context:nil];
if (_adBannerViewIsVisible) {

} else {

}
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
}

- (void)layoutAdBannerView:(int)adBannerViewFrameHeight contentViewFrame:(int)contentViewFrameHeight {
CGRect adBannerViewFrame = [_adBannerView frame];
adBannerViewFrame.origin.x = 0;
adBannerViewFrame.origin.y = adBannerViewFrameHeight;
[_adBannerView setFrame:adBannerViewFrame];

CGRect contentViewFrame = _contentView.frame;
contentViewFrame.origin.y = contentViewFrameHeight;
contentViewFrame.size.height = self.view.frame.size.height – contentViewFrameHeight;
_contentView.frame = contentViewFrame;
}
