Setting the delegate when using canDisplayBannerAds

iad, ios, ios7

Solution

You can not display iAds in compatibility mode on the iPad.

Your app must be universal for iAds to display.

Additionally, the delegate methods are not forwards to your application if you are using `self.canDisplayBannerAds`. See here

Problem

I've been struggling to get (banner) `iAds` to display correctly in the `iPhone`, and in an `iPad` merely displaying the `iPhone` app (scaled up). I still don't know how to fix this, and haven't found anyone else having this problem. Then I noticed that in `iOS7` there's a way to automate using banner ads in an app, by setting: ``` self.canDisplayBannerAds=YES: ``` ... In the `viewDidLoad` method. This seemed like a cool, streamlined way to implement banners, but haven't figured out how to set the delegate when using this automated method. Can one do this, or do you have to do the more manual method of creating an `adBannerView`, setting the delegate, and then implementing the delegate methods?
