Add Banner and Medium Rectangle Ads to an iOS App

1. After you have created a new project from iOS Getting Started guides, open Main.storyboard. Add a UIView element to the main View element and name it to adContainer.
   
2. Now, in your View Controller header file (or Swift file, if you are a Swift user), import FBAudienceNetwork, declare conformance to the FBAdViewDelegate protocol, and add an instance variable for the ad unit
   Select language

   SwiftObjective-C

   ---

   import UIKit
   import FBAudienceNetwork
   
   class ViewController: UIViewController, FBAdViewDelegate {
   
   @IBOutlet private var adContainer: UIView!
   
     private var adView: FBAdView?
   }
   



3. Add the code below to viewDidLoad; Create a new instance of FBAdView and add it to the view. FBAdView is a subclass of UIView. You can add it to your view hierarchy just like any other view.
   Select language

   SwiftObjective-C

   ---

   override func viewDidLoad() {
     super.viewDidLoad()
   
     // Instantiate an AdView object.
     // NOTE: the placement ID will eventually identify this as your app, you can ignore while you
     // are testing and replace it later when you have signed up.
     // While you are using this temporary code you will only get test ads and if you release
     // your code like this to the App Store your users will not receive ads (you will get a 'No Fill' error).
     let adView = FBAdView(placementID: "YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID", adSize: kFBAdSizeHeight50Banner, rootViewController: self)
     adView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 320, height: 250)
     adView.delegate = self
     adView.loadAd()
     self.adView = adView
   }
   

   To add a Medium Rectangle ad instead, you just need to provide kFBAdSizeHeight250Rectangle in the adSize parameter to FBAdView.
   
   Audience Network supports three ad sizes to be used in your FBAdView. A unit's width is flexible with a minimum of 320px, and only the height is defined.
   
   

   Ad Format	AdSize Reference	Size	Recommendation
   Medium Rectangle	kFBAdSizeHeight 250Rectangle	300x250	This format is highly recommended because it provides higher performance, higher quality, and more CPU efficient
   Standard Banner	kFBAdSizeHeight 50Banner	320x50	This format is suited to phones but not recommended because of poor performance and quality
   Large Banner	kFBAdSizeHeight 90Banner	320x90	This format is suited to tablets and larger devices but not recommended because of poor performance and quality

4. Replace YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID with your own placement id string. If you don't have a placement id or don't know how to get one, refer to the Getting Started Guide. Choose your build target to be device and run the above code, you should see something like this:
   
   
   
   
   
   

func adViewDidClick(_ adView: FBAdView) {
  print("Ad was clicked.")
}

func adViewDidFinishHandlingClick(_ adView: FBAdView) {
  print("Ad did finish click handling.")
}

func adViewWillLogImpression(_ adView: FBAdView) {
  print("Ad impression is being captured.")
}

func adView(_ adView: FBAdView, didFailWithError error: Error) {
  print("Ad failed to load with error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

func adViewDidLoad(_ adView: FBAdView) {
  print("Ad was loaded and ready to be displayed")
  showAd()
}

private func showAd() {
  guard let adView = adView, adView.isAdValid else {
    return
  }
  adContainer.addSubview(adView)
}

• Once your app has a link on the App Store or Google Play Store, configure Audience Network in Monetization Manager to get ad placement IDs.
• Follow the guides to implement ad formats in your app.

• Visit our GitHub sample app repository⁠ to view sample code.
• View the Audience Network policies and the Facebook community standards⁠ to ensure your app complies.
