Add Interstitial Ads to an iOS App

1. After you have created a new project from iOS Getting Started guide, import FBAudienceNetwork, declare that ViewController implements the FBInterstitialAdDelegate protocol, and add an instance variable for the interstitial ad unit
   Select language

   SwiftObjective-C

   ---

   import UIKit
   import FBAudienceNetwork
   
   class ViewController: UIViewController, FBInterstitialAdDelegate {
     private var interstitialAd: FBInterstitialAd?
   }
   



2. Next, instantiate the ad object in the view controller's viewDidLoad method, and implement interstitialAdDidLoad
   Select language

   SwiftObjective-C

   ---

   override func viewDidLoad() {
     super.viewDidLoad()
   
   // Instantiate an InterstitialAd object.
   // NOTE: the placement ID will eventually identify this as your app. You can ignore it while you are testing
   // and replace it later when you have signed up.
   // While you are using this temporary code you will only get test ads and if you release
   // your code like this to the App Store your users will not receive ads (you will get a 'No Fill' error).
   let interstitialAd = FBInterstitialAd(placementID: "YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID")
   interstitialAd.delegate = self
   
   // For auto play video ads, it's recommended to load the ad at least 30 seconds before it is shown
   interstitialAd.load()
   
     self.interstitialAd = interstitialAd
   }
   
   func interstitialAdDidLoad(_ interstitialAd: FBInterstitialAd) {
     guard interstitialAd.isAdValid else {
       return
     }
     print("Ad is loaded and ready to be displayed")
     interstitialAd.show(fromRootViewController: self)
   }
   

   
   
3. The ID that displays at YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID is a temporary ID for test purposes only.
   If you use this temporary ID in your live code, your users will not receive ads (they will get a No Fill error). You must return here after testing and replace this temporary ID with a live Placement ID.
   To find out how the generate a live Placement ID, refer to Audience Network Setup
   Choose your build target to be device and run the above code, you should see something like this:
   
   

func interstitialAdWillLogImpression(_ interstitialAd: FBInterstitialAd) {
  print("The user sees the ad")
  // Use this function as indication for a user's impression on the ad.
}

func interstitialAdDidClick(_ interstitialAd: FBInterstitialAd) {
  print("The user clicked on the ad and will be taken to its destination")
  // Use this function as indication for a user's click on the ad.
}

func interstitialAdWillClose(_ interstitialAd: FBInterstitialAd) {
  print("The user clicked on the close button, the ad is just about to close")
  // Consider to add code here to resume your app's flow
}

func interstitialAdDidClose(_ interstitialAd: FBInterstitialAd) {
  print("The user clicked on the close button, the ad is just about to close")
  // Consider to add code here to resume your app's flow
}

func interstitialAd(_ interstitialAd: FBInterstitialAd, didFailWithError error: Error) {
  print("Interstitial ad failed to load with error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}

• Once your app has a link on the App Store or Google Play Store, configure Audience Network in Monetization Manager to get ad placement IDs.
• Follow the guides to implement ad formats in your app.

• Visit our GitHub sample app repository⁠ to view sample code.
• View the Audience Network policies and the Facebook community standards⁠ to ensure your app complies.
