Setting the delegate when using canDisplayBannerAds

Question

I've been struggling to get (banner) iAds to display correctly in the iPhone, and in an iPad merely displaying the iPhone app (scaled up). I still don't know how to fix this, and haven't found anyone else having this problem.

Then I noticed that in iOS7 there's a way to automate using banner ads in an app, by setting:

self.canDisplayBannerAds=YES:

... In the viewDidLoad method. This seemed like a cool, streamlined way to implement banners, but haven't figured out how to set the delegate when using this automated method. Can one do this, or do you have to do the more manual method of creating an adBannerView, setting the delegate, and then implementing the delegate methods?

Answer 1

You can not display iAds in compatibility mode on the iPad.

Your app must be universal for iAds to display.

Additionally, the delegate methods are not forwards to your application if you are using self.canDisplayBannerAds. See here
