TOLDeveloperAds

Easily create free, beautiful in-app banners for all of your other App Store apps with a single line of code:

[[LARSAdController sharedManager] registerAdClass:[TOLDeveloperAds class] withPublisherId:@"284800461"];

Where the "publisher ID" is your developer id number given to you by Apple. You can find this number by going to Apple's iTunes linkmaker and searching for your developer name. When you find yourself in the "Artists" section, click "Artist Link" under your name. Your dev id should be in the link in the following format:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/tapbots/idXXXXXXXXX?uo=4

All you need is the number denoted by X's above.

All App Store data about your apps will be downloaded and used on-the-fly to generate banners for your other ads.

This is generally what it will look like in portrait mode (thanks to Eric Celedonia for the initial design):

#Development This project is very much in development and should not be used for production... yet. If you are interested in using this in production or extending this to use for production, feel free to help out. Check the issues for planned features not yet implemented or bugs being tracked.

If you don't/can't contribute to the project, feel free to submit an issue on features you would like to see or use-cases that may not currently be considered.

Check out the Demo/ folder for the project being used for development, which should include all pods necessary.

#Dependencies TOLDeveloperAds is depended by LARSAdController. The easiest way to manage this dependency is by using Cocoapods:

pod 'LARSAdController/Core', '~>3.0'

The other following dependencies are currently required (but may not be when development stabilizes for release):

pod 'ColorArt'
pod 'NSHash'
pod 'Reachability', '~>3.1'

TOLDeveloperAds requires iOS 5.0+

#Features Features of TOLDeveloperAds include:

1. Beautiful enough to include in even your non ad-enabled apps, maybe in a settings screen or on your "about" section
2. Free ads for all of your other apps
3. Link directly to App Store on tap
4. Customizable ad view by conforming your banner to TOLDeveloperBannerProtocol if you don't like the provided banner
5. Intelligent image caching and image downloading depending on connection to reduce user bandwidth
6. Auto-exclusion of current app running to not waste banner time
7. Auto-exclusion of mac apps
8. Leverages all the great features of LARSAdController to integrate your existing ads if you have them. Never have unfilled ad inventory again.
