AKGADWrapper

AKGADWrapper is a wrapper for a UIViewController with a GADBannerView at the bottom which automatically handles autolayout of the wrapped UIViewController. This is a very common task I stumbled upon during the development of apps that are displaying an AdMob banner.

Installation

Manually and Swift

As this class uses AdMob as the external dependency, there is no way to use it while specifying use_frameworks!, because currently, AdMob is the static library itself.

In order to use this class you just need to copy AKGADWrapperVC.h and AKGADWrapperVC.m files and install SAMKeychain and Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK libraries as dependencies or connect them manually.

CocoaPods: Objective-C Only

Add the following line to your Podfile.

pod "AKGADWrapper", "~> 1.1.0"

Execute pod install.

Usage

Example of Wrapping rootViewController

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
	//Instantiate a UIViewController to wrap
	UIViewController *mainVC = [[UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle:nil] instantiateInitialViewController];
	//Instantiate a AKGADWrapperVC with UIViewController to wrap and your Ad Unit ID 
	AKGADWrapperVC *wrappedVC = [[AKGADWrapperVC alloc] initWithViewController:mainVC adUnitID:@"ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/2934735716"];
	//Optionally set targeting options
	wrappedVC.gender = GADBaseGenderMale;
	//Set as the rootViewController
	self.window.rootViewController = wrappedVC;

	/// Set the color under the banner for the frameless devices
    wrappedVC.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
   
	return YES;
}

Removing Ads

To hide Ads call removeAds: with true for disabling them forever or false to hide the currently presented banner but present it again after the app relaunch.

[wrapper removeAds:false];

Delaying Ads Presentation

In order to improve retention during the first app usage sessions, there is showAdsAfter feature which helps you to set a delay for presenting ads only after some amount of application launches. To start presenting Ads only on the 3rd launch set this property to 2 before presenting AKGADWrapperVC instance.

wrapper.showAdsAfter = 2;
