iPhone Programming - How to implement iAds properly in Xcode

A quick tutorial teaching you how to implement iAds into your app the proper way so it doesn't get rejected.

Main code used
In .h:
//Don't forget to add the iAd framework.
#import "iAd/iAd.h"
//Replace the " " with the left & right carrots.

@interface Test_iAdViewController : UIViewController "ADBannerViewDelegate" {




//Replace the " " with the left & right carrots. ADBannerView *aBanner;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet ADBannerView *aBanner;
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL bannerIsVisible;

In the .m:
@synthesize aBanner,bannerIsVisible;

- (void)dealloc
{ [aBanner release]; [super dealloc];
}

//Show banner if can load ad.
-(void)bannerViewDidLoadAd:(ADBannerView *)banner
{ if (!self.bannerIsVisible) { [UIView beginAnimations:@"animateAdBannerOn" context:NULL]; banner.frame = CGRectOffset(banner.frame, 0, -banner.frame.size.height); [UIView commitAnimations]; self.bannerIsVisible = YES; }
}

//Hide banner if can't load ad.
-(void)bannerView:(ADBannerView *)banner didFailToReceiveAdWithError:(NSError *)error
{ if (self.bannerIsVisible) { [UIView beginAnimations:@"animateAdBannerOff" context:NULL]; banner.frame = CGRectOffset(banner.frame, 0, banner.frame.size.height); [UIView commitAnimations]; self.bannerIsVisible = NO; }
}

Really great tutorial

[xSUPERMONTAGEx]

This is a great tutorial, but I've implemented the delegate and when it doesn't get internet connection, the ad just shows a blank screen.
