CJPAdController 1.3

CJPAdController is a singleton class allowing easy implementation of iAds and Google AdMob ads in your iOS app. It supports all devices and orientations, and works on iOS 4.0+

Features

• Supports iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, in any orientation
• Choose whether to show both iAd and AdMob, or just one of them
• Choose whether iAd or AdMob is your default ads, falling back to the other if your default is unable to load an ad
• Ability to choose where ads are displayed within a view (top or bottom)
• Specify a time delay for when to start showing ads in a view
• Automatically hides from view if there are no ads to display
• Support for hiding ads from users who have purchased a "Remove Ads" In-App Purchase (assumes you store a boolean value for this in NSUserDefaults)

Usage

CJPAdController is intended to be used within a UINavigationController, and will display adverts at the top or bottom of your view. It may work in other scenarios, such as within a TabBarController, however this has not been tested.

1. Add both CJPAdController.h and CJPAdController.m to your project.

2. Modify the constants at the top of CJPAdController.h to suit your needs - here you'll be able to set various options, including your AdMob Publisher ID, position in view, seconds to wait before showing ads, and more. The options are fairly self-explanatory and the code is commented.

3. Add #import "CJPAdController.h" to your app delegate header file, then add CJPAdController *_adController; in the @interface like so:

@interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate> {
    CJPAdController *_adController;
}

4. And in your app delegate method file, alloc your UINavigationController as usual, then init the adController with your navController set as the root view. The rootViewController of the window should then be set as the adController. Your code should look similar to the following:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    
    RootViewController *rootVC = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
    _navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootVC];
    _adController = [[CJPAdController sharedManager] initWithContentViewController:_navController];
    
    self.window.rootViewController = _adController;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}

5. You're almost done! Just check the other requirements below to make sure you've got all the right frameworks included in your project.

Other Requirements

In order to compile, you'll need to have these frameworks included in your project:

For iAd:

1. iAd.framework

For AdMob:

1. AudioToolbox.framework
2. MessageUI.framework
3. SystemConfiguration.framework

NOTE: For AdMob to work ensure you also include the AdMob SDK files. Please also read the note on setting Other Linker Flags in your project if you intend to use AdMob. You should use SDK version 6.0.0 or greater with CJPAdController. Version 6.1.4 is included in the demo app in this project.

Notes

1. This class has been written for projects using ARC, and as such, no memory management is handled by the class.
2. If you offer your users an In-App Purchase for removing ads, this class does offer some functionality for you to provide this. Assuming you have your IAP methods all set up, you should call the following method after a user successfully buys your IAP:

[[CJPAdController sharedManager] removeAllAdsForever];

To-Do

Planned features to be added include:

• Add support for additional ad networks
