Mi piacerebbe conoscere la prossima migliore alternativa alla rete iAd. Facile da integrare e configurare. Inoltre, dovrei rimuovere il framework iAd dalle mie altre app?

Answer 1

Il framework iAd sarà deprecato. Non devi ancora rimuovere le tue implementazioni iAd, ma alla fine dovrai farlo.

Apple ha dato un sacco di informazioni su ciò che sta per accadere: About the iAd App Network Shutdown

Apps that are not updated will experience the following adverse conditions:

• No ads will be returned in your app.
• A deprecation warning will appear in Xcode.
• If your app implements ADBannerView and the ADBannerViewDelegate, the bannerView:didFailToReceiveAdWithError: delegate method, it will be called with the ADError enum.
• If your app implements ADInterstitialAd and the ADInterstitialAdDelegate, the interstitialAd:didFailWithError: delegate method will be called with an ADError enum.
• If your app implements the iAdAdditions category on UIViewController, setting the ADInterstitialPresentationPolicy will have no effect and calling requestInterstitialAdPresentation: or canDisplayBannerAds: will always return NO.
• If your app implements the iAdPreroll category on AVPlayerViewController or the iAdPreroll category on MPMoviePlayerController, calling playPrerollAdWithCompletionHandler: will return an ADError enum.
• When your ADBannerView delegate receives this error, your app should look for other ads (from other ad-networks).
• Apps that implement the iAdAdditions category on UIViewController and use automatic presentation, should not notice any impact. Apps that manually manage the ADBannerView may see a blank space.
• If you have implemented a mediation layer, contact the mediation provider to understand impact to your app.
• ADClient APIs (requestAttributionDetailsWithBlock and addClientToSegments) will continue to work.
