Getting Started

Before you can begin working with TPLLBA on iOS, you need to download the TPLLBA SDK for iOS.

Step 1: Get the latest version of Xcode

To build a project using the TPLLBA SDK for iOS, you need version 9.0 or later of Xcode.

Step 2: Install the SDK

TPLLBA SDK for iOS is available as a CocoaPods pod. CocoaPods is an open source dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C Cocoa projects.

If you don't already have the CocoaPods tool, install it on macOS by running the following command from the terminal. For details, see the CocoaPods Getting Started guide.

sudo gem install cocoapods

Create a Podfile for the TPLLBA SDK for iOS and use it to install the API and its dependencies:

1. If you don't have an Xcode project yet, create one now and save it to your local machine. (If you're new to iOS development, create a Single View Application.)

2. Create a file named Podfile in your project directory. This file defines your project's dependencies.

3. Edit the Podfile and add your dependencies. Here is an example which includes the dependencies you need for the TPLLBA SDK for iOS:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'YOUR_APPLICATION_TARGET_NAME_HERE' do
pod 'TPLLBA'
end

4. Save the Podfile

5. Open a terminal and go to the directory containing the Podfile:

cd <path-to-project>

6. Run the pod install command. This will install the APIs specified in the Podfile, along with any dependencies they may have.

7. Close Xcode, and then open (double-click) your project's .xcworkspace file to launch Xcode. From this time onwards, you must use the .xcworkspace file to open the project.

Step 3: Implementation

The code below demonstrates how to start engine of TPLLBA in application.

Now, Update a few methods inside your app's AppDelegate class.

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

        // Override point for customization after application launch.

        LBAds.shared().initializeAdsWithAppId("APP_ID")

        return true
    }

Set APNS Token to send the push notifications

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {

        // Convert token to string
        let deviceTokenString = deviceToken.reduce("", {$0 + String(format: "%02X", $1)})
        LBAds.shared().setAPNSToken(deviceTokenString)

    }

Stop background service

    func applicationDidEnterBackground(_ application: UIApplication) {
        LBAds.shared().applicationDidEnterBackground()
    }

Start service on application becomes active

    
    func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
        LBAds.shared().applicationWillEnterForeground()
    }
    

Below iOS 10 support

Add following code to show the ads notifications

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceive notification: UILocalNotification) {
        LBAds.shared().notificationTapped(notification)
    }

Important notes
