Is there a guide out there on using google admob in an iOS app with buzz touch? -Jeremy

At present there is no Admob integration guide for ios apps as far as i know. But, i have intergated it in some plugins in couple of my apps following the steps in the below links together. https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/#ios https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/fundamentals#ios https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/intermediate#ios Try it yourself and inform whether it works for you. BTW which particular plugin you want the ads in?

I want it in a custom URL plugin. I will give it a go and post whether or my it works for me. Thanks! Jeremy

-Silly question. When following the steps to put in the code, do indo it in the respective plugins files? Jeremy

It should work. If you follow the above links, it will get you the banner ads at the top of the screen. In case you want them at the bottom of screen, you will have to add few lines more. I will post them when i am on my dev machine.

Yeah I want them at the bottom. Thanks!! Jeremy

Yes you have to put the codes in respective .h and .m plugin files.

I will paste the code in the morning for having the banner ads at the bottom. Its already midnight here.

Almost 4 am for me. Woke up too early today! Cheers Jeremy

Brisbane? Wow! Nice to meet you. :)

Yeah, Gold Coast. You too :). Well I best get back to working. I'll catch up with you tomorrow morning. Cheers, Jeremy

Since you want ads to be displayed in the custom url plugin screen the following is step by step tutorial to add admob ads in your project. Steps to integrate admob in ios bt apps- Part 1--- (This part is common for all of your ios project) 1. Add files to your project as shown in the step 1 and 2 in the following link- https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/#ios 2. Add following references to your project- AdSupport AudioToolbox AVFoundation CoreGraphics CoreTelephony MessageUI StoreKit SystemConfiguration 3. Add -ObjC to the Other Linker Flags of your application target's build setting. Part 2--- (Changes in .h file) 1. In your BT_screen_customURL.h file import the following- #import "GADBannerView.h" 2. In the BT_screen_customURL.h file add following code in the @interface somewhere at line no- 45 or 46 --- GADBannerView *bannerView_; Part 3--- (Changes in .m file) 1. In your BT_screen_customURL.m file add following code in the viewDidLoad method. You will find it at line no 50. Add following code at line no 54--- bannerView_ = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeBanner]; bannerView_.adUnitID = @"YOUR_ADMOB_APP_ID_GOES_HERE"; bannerView_.rootViewController = self; [self.view addSubview:bannerView_]; [bannerView_ loadRequest:[GADRequest request]]; NOTE: Replace ---YOUR_ADMOB_APP_ID_GOES_HERE---- with your admob app id. Then clean- build your app and run it. You will get ads on top of the screen. 2. In case if you want your ads to be served at bottom add following code instead of above code at line no 54--- CGPoint origin = CGPointMake(0.0, self.view.frame.size.height - CGSizeFromGADAdSize(kGADAdSizeBanner).height); bannerView_ = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeBanner origin:origin]; bannerView_.adUnitID = @"YOUR_ADMOB_APP_ID_GOES_HERE"; bannerView_.rootViewController = self; [self.view addSubview:bannerView_]; // Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad. [bannerView_ loadRequest:[GADRequest request]]; NOTE: Replace ---YOUR_ADMOB_APP_ID_GOES_HERE---- with your admob app id. Then clean- build your app and run it. You will get ads at bottom of the screen.

Worked perfectly, thank you! Jeremy

I got the example working, but if I want to serve up different series of AdMob ads for different Custom URL screens, how do I do that? Seems like I'd need to personalize this for each AdMod AppID I need, or wrap it in a If/Then logic? bannerView_ = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeBanner origin:origin]; bannerView_.adUnitID = @"YOUR_ADMOB_APP_ID_GOES_HERE"; bannerView_.rootViewController = self; [self.view addSubview:bannerView_]; // Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad. [bannerView_ loadRequest:[GADRequest request]];

I dont understand why you want different series of admob ads for different custom url screens when the ads will be automatically refreshed after 120 seconds. Other than that you can also set the refresh rate to any amount of seconds in your admob dashboard through manage settings option of particular app. BTW i am not sure how to personalise the code in case you still decide to go up with coding it. Sort of still new to ios thing.

I'm using AdMob to deliver personalized house ads that I control. An easy way to think of this is have a series of simple menus in your app. My first two menus deal with hunting and one with fishing. By selling, and displaying different ads on each menu I am able to target ads to the areas of the app that people are interested in.

Just an idea, but would it be easier to display the one lot of ads you control through ad mob, and then use scringos as network for the other ads? Jeremy.
