McAdViewController

About

McAdViewController is a UIViewController used to display Google Banner and Interstitial Ads. Animation and rotation ready, this view controller will automatically resize child view controllers so you can focus on developing without the burden of doing this yourself.

Usage

1. Run pod install like normal, then add McAdViewController to your project
2. Remove Main interface from your targets General Settings
3. Uncheck initial View Controller in your storyboard.
4. Tag your view controller with an Id
5. In your AppDelegate do something similar to the below. Don't forget to put in your own applicationId, ect...

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

    var window: UIWindow?
    var mcAdViewController:McAdViewController?

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

        window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)

        let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)

        // Be sure to tag your view controller in the storyboard.
        //
        let viewController:ViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ViewControllerId") as! ViewController

        // Initialize McAdViewcontroller and pass your 'contentController' viewController
        //
        mcAdViewController = McAdViewController(contentController: viewController, // Required
                                                applicationId: "ca-app-pub-<YOUR APP ID>", // Required
                                                bannerAdUnitId: "ca-app-pub-<YOUR BANNER ID>", // Conditional Optional - Required if interstantialAdUnitId not provided
                                                interstantialAdUnitId: "ca-app-pub-<YOUR INT ID>", // Conditional Optional - Required if bannerAdUnitId not provided
                                                isBannerBottom: false, // Optional - Default: true
                                                debug: true) // Optional - Default: false
        // safeAreaColor defaults to black
        //
        mcAdViewController?.safeAreaColor = .red

        // Set McAdViewController as the root
        //
        window!.rootViewController = mcAdViewController!
        window!.makeKeyAndVisible()

        return true
    }
}

Displaying Interstitial Ads and Removing the Banner Ad

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    let app:AppDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate

    @IBAction func displayInterstitial(_ sender: UIButton) {

      // Display Interstitial Ad from Root ViewController
      //
      app.mcAdViewController?.displayInterstitial()

      // Display Interstitial Ad from a Non-root ViewController.
      // ie. You subsequently presented a ViewController modally.
      //
      //app.mcAdViewController?.displayInterstitial(fromViewController: <Not McAdViewController>)
    }

    @IBAction func removeBannerAd(_ sender: UIButton) {
      // Remove the banner ad because, reasons.
      //
      app.mcAdViewController?.removeBannerAd()
    }
}

• Xcode 9

Installation

Unfortunately, McAdViewController is NOT available through CocoaPods due to Google distributing static libraries. Discussed at length here.

• Add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '~> 7.29'

puts "Downloading McAdViewController..."
require 'open-uri'
open('./McAdViewController.swift', 'wb') do |file|
  file << open('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kmcgill88/McAdViewController/master/McAdViewControllerExample/McAdViewController.swift').read
end
puts "Successfully downloaded McAdViewController! :)"

• Run pod install
• In Xcode, right click in Project navigator and add McAdViewController to your project

Optional Installation

• To stay on tagged release, replace master with the tag number. ie. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kmcgill88/McAdViewController/1.0.0/McAdViewControllerExample/McAdViewController.swift
• To change the download directory, replace McAdViewControllerExample with your project folder name ie:

open('./<YOUR PROJECT NAME>/McAdViewController.swift', 'wb') do |file|
