Ad Banner Moving Out of Position, Showing Out of Order

I have an AdBannerView inside my game, but it keeps showing randomly even though I set it to hidden, it pops from the bottom pushing the view up.

Here's the code I have thus far in GameScene:

var iAd = ADBannerView()

  override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {

        iAd.delegate = self
        iAd.hidden = true
        iAd.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleTopMargin

        view.addSubview(iAd)

}

    func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
        if (!isStarted){  // <- If game has started

            iAd.hidden = false
        } 
    }

    func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: NSError!) {

        print("Ad Fail")
        iAd.hidden = true
    }

func newGame() {

iAd.hidden = true
}

func gameOver() {

iAd.hidden = false
}

Sometimes the ad shows during gameplay, sometimes it shows at the top, other times at the bottom.

My questions are:

  1. How do I position it at the top?
  2. How do I make it so that it stops appearing during gameplay?
  3. How do I make it stop pushing the view up?
  4. How do I make it stop showing if it failed to load (it currently does show)

MORE INFO: I tried this code in ViewController, but ended up with the same results.

Sounds like you've created an ADBannerView in Interface Builder in addition to including self.canDisplayBannerAds somewhere in your project.

The ADBannerView displaying on the bottom of your devices screen is created by self.canDisplayBannerAds = true. self.canDisplayBannerAds = true can be used for a no hassle way of implementing iAd banners in your application. This will create an ADBannerView for you and show or hide the ADBannerView depending on whether it receives an ad or not from the iAd network.

If you have included self.canDisplayBannerAds = true in your project you need to remove it.

As for hiding the ADBannerView when it fails to receive an advertisement, you need to implement the ADBannerView's delegate methods: ADBannerViewDelegate Protocol Reference. Then, in bannerView(_:didFailToReceiveAdWithError:) you'd set your ADBannerView's alpha property to 0.

For question 1: You have set the frame property to position the banner ad:

iAd.frame = CGRectMake(0, view.frame.size.height - iAd.frame.size.height, view.frame.size.width, iAd.frame.size.height);
