Nexage Integration SourceKit for VAST is an easy to use library which implements the [IAB VAST 2.0 spec] (http://www.iab.net/guidelines/508676/digitalvideo/vsuite/vast/vast_copy). It is written in Objective-C and works in both iPhone and iPad applications.
Features:
- VAST 2 implementation
- Handles VAST & VAST Wrapper
- 4 level logging
- Integrates with just a few lines of code
- ARC support
Please look at our Wiki for additional information & FAQ.
Requirements:
- iOS 5.0+
- Xcode: 5.0+
- SourceKitCommon Github project (https://github.com/nexage/sourcekit-common-ios)
Step 1: Include the "VAST" & "SourceKitCommon" Xcode projects. Please make sure that you clone the SourceKitCommon Github repository in the same folder level as VAST.
Step 2: Copy or include the following header files into your project;
SKVASTError.h
VASTSettings.h
SKVASTViewController.h
Step 3: Import these header files into the class which will use a VASTViewController (step 7):
#import "VASTError.h"
#import "VASTViewController.h"
#import "VASTSettings.h"
Step 4: Edit Build Settings
Header Search Paths => /usr/include/libxml2
Other Linker Flags => -lxml2
Edit Build Phases under target
Target Dependencies - Add VAST & SourceKitCommon projects
Link Binary with Libraries - Add libVAST.a, libSourceKitCommon.a, MediaPlayer.framework & SystemConfiguration.framework
Step 5: Create a SKVASTViewController and implement SKVASTViewControllerDelegate delegate. Then call the loadVideoWithURL: method with a url that will return valid VAST XML formatted content, as in this example:
self.vastVC = [[SKVASTViewController alloc] initWithDelegate: self];
NSURL* url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"...valid url for a VAST XML document..."];
[self.vastVC loadVideoWithURL:url];
Step 6: Listen for SKVASTViewControllerDelegate callbacks. Please look into SKVASTViewControllerDelegate.h for more information. To play the video, you must wait for the 'vastReady' callback, then send the playVideo message, as follows:
- (void)vastReady:(SKVASTViewController *)vc
{
[vc play];
}
Optional: If you are interested in listening for different events (start, firstquartile, complete, etc.), use the following:
-(void)vastTrackingEvent:(NSString *)eventName
{
NSLog(@"callback for event %@", eventName);
}
Optional: To enable 4 level logging, insert this code in your AppDelegate. Its settings affect both MRAID & VAST if you have it in your app:
[SKLogger setLogLevel:SourceKitLogLevelDebug]; // select desired log level
That's it!
