How to add iAd in SpriteKit and deactivate it when a scene changes?

In my game file GameScene, I wrote code for iAd to be displayed there.

func addiAd(){
    bannerView = ADBannerView(adType: .Banner)
    bannerView.delegate = self
    bannerView.hidden = true
    bannerView.frame = CGRectOffset(bannerView.frame, 0.0, 0.0)
    bannerView.center = CGPointMake(bannerView.center.x,  
    (view?.bounds.size.height)! - bannerView.frame.size.height/2)
    view!.addSubview(bannerView)
    print("iAd is working")
}

func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
    bannerView.hidden = false
}

func bannerViewActionDidFinish(banner: ADBannerView!) {
    bannerView.removeFromSuperview()
}

func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: NSError!) {
    bannerView.hidden = true
}

Well, it first looks like it works, but not perfectly because when a scene has transitioned to another game scene file called GameOverScene, my bannerView does not disappear and stays where it appeared forever until the run is over. I want to deactivate this. Is my code wrong written above? In my source code, in total, I want two adBanner views in GameScene and GameOverScene respectively. My assumption for the error is that I did not write those code in GameViewController, but I am unsure about it. Could you show me how to implement it and explain me where it has to be written?

In the iAd delegate methods you could change the alpha properties of your banner. For example:

func bannerViewDidLoadAd(banner: ADBannerView!) {
    bannerView.alpha = 1.0
}

func bannerView(banner: ADBannerView!, didFailToReceiveAdWithError error: NSError!) {
    bannerView.alpha = 0.0
}

And then when you're changing scenes or want to make sure that the iAd banner does not appear you could set its hidden property. For example:

func hideBanner() {
    // Call whenever you don't want the ADBannerView to be on screen
    bannerView.hidden = true
}

func showBanner() {
    // Call when you want the ADBannerView to be on screen
    bannerView.hidden = false
}

This would require you to update your addiAd function also: Change bannerView.hidden = true to bannerView.alpha = 0.0.

And finally you shouldn't be removing the iAd banner from the Superview here:

func bannerViewActionDidFinish(banner: ADBannerView!) {
    bannerView.removeFromSuperview()
}
