iAd Banner wont hide.

[Trent McDougall]

Hey everyone,

Im having trouble getting my adbannerview to hide when a ad fails to load. I've added the banner in IB and linked its delegate to files owner and conformed that class to ADBannerViewDelegate. Im also implementing this delegate method

- (void)bannerView:(ADBannerView *)banner didFailToReceiveAdWithError:(NSError *)error {
	if (self.bannerIsVisible)
	{
		[UIView beginAnimations:@"animateAdBannerOff" context:NULL];
		banner.frame = CGRectOffset(banner.frame, 0, 50);
		[UIView commitAnimations];
		self.bannerIsVisible = NO;
	}
}

This works on the simulator when i turn off my internet connection but on my iphone when i go into aeroplane mode this method never even gets called. Im also finding that bannerViewDidLoadAd doesnt get called either.

anyone else experiencing this? anyone know how to fix it?

There's been quite a few discussions on this already, both on here, and on the official Apple Dev forums.

True but none of them have given me a solution that works.

Instead of airplane mode, did you try turning the Wi-Fi setting off on your device? (Or is that what you meant by "aeroplane mode" - I thought that was a separate setting?)

It could be that "airplane mode" ignores ad banners, in which case you may need to start with your ad banner "hidden" in, say, viewDidLoad.
