Setting up a Banner Ad

The SDK supports Banner Ads via the CIBannerView UIView. This takes up to three parameters:

Required

  • placementID: String: Unique ID for this Ad Placement provided by Content Ignite.
  • pageUrl: String?: This is used for targeting for example if the ad is displayed inline within an article or section of the app which has an equivalent URL on the web.

Optional

  • delegate: CIBannerViewDelegate: This protocol allows you to respond to events related to the banner ad.
  • targeting: [String: [String]]: Pass custom key-value pairs to ad requests.
  • publisher: (() -> UIView)?: Closure to allow you to provide a fallback to your existing Ad implementation for this particular placement. This gives publishers full control over the use of the SDK and the rate at which this fallback is used can be controlled directly through the Fusion platform.
An example is shown below:
import CIMobileSDK_UIKit

let targeting = ["segment" : ["health","fitness"]]

let banner = CIBannerView(
    placementID: "<PLACEMENT-ID>", 
    pageUrl: "https://publisher.com/sport",
    targeting: targeting,
    delegate: self
) {
    // Publisher fallback implementation
}
view.addSubview(banner)
        
banner.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

let margins = view.layoutMarginsGuide

NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
    banner.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor),
    banner.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: margins.bottomAnchor)
])

Task { await banner.load() }

Handling ad events

To listen and respond to events from an Interstitial ad, use the CIBannerViewDelegate protocol:
extension BannerViewController: CIBannerViewDelegate {

    public func bannerLoaded() {
        print("Banner ad loaded.")
    }
    
    public func bannerLoadFailed(error: String) {
        print("Banner ad failed to load: \(error)")
    }
    
    public func bannerClicked() {
        print("Banner ad clicked.")
    }
    
    public func bannerImpression() {
        print("Banner ad impression.")
    }

}
