AdMob in iOS with UIWebView - objective-c

Question

I'm using the latest Xcode (4.4.1) and developing for iOS 5.1. I am utilizing the bottom tab bar interface provided by Apple. One of the tabs uses a UIWebView that utilizes the full screen space. When I try to add a standard banner provided by AdMob, it does not add a banner at all. I was following along with: https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/fundamentals. Code attached below
About.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "GADBannerView.h"
#interface About : UIViewController <UIWebViewDelegate> {
IBOutlet UIWebView *webView;
// Declare one as an instance variable
GADBannerView *bannerView_;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIWebView *webView;
#end
About.m
#import "About.h"
#import "GADBannerView.h"
#import "GADRequest.h"
#import "constants.h"
#implementation About
#synthesize webView;
//#synthesize bannerView = bannerView_;
+ (void)initialize {
// Set user agent (the only problem is that we can't modify the User-Agent later in the program)
NSDictionary *dictionary = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:UserAgent, #"UserAgent", nil];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] registerDefaults:dictionary];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
NSString *fullURL = ([IsBeta isEqualToString: #"true"]) ? #"http://beta.wouldyouratherapp.com/questions/index/0/1" : #"http://wouldyouratherapp.com/questions/index/0/1";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:fullURL]; NSURLRequest *requestObj = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]; [webView loadRequest:requestObj];
// Create a view of the standard size at the bottom of the screen.
// Available AdSize constants are explained in GADAdSize.h.
bannerView_ = [[GADBannerView alloc] initWithAdSize:kGADAdSizeBanner];
// Specify the ad's "unit identifier." This is your AdMob Publisher ID.
bannerView_.adUnitID = MyAdUnitID;
// Let the runtime know which UIViewController to restore after taking
// the user wherever the ad goes and add it to the view hierarchy.
bannerView_.rootViewController = self;
[self.view addSubview:bannerView_];
// Initiate a generic request to load it with an ad.
[bannerView_ loadRequest:[GADRequest request]];
}
- (void)viewDidUnload
{
[super viewDidUnload];
// Release any retained subviews of the main view.
}
#end
Yes, I have added all the frameworks already, and MyAdUnitID is already defined in the constants file, so everything SHOULD be working, but I guess I am missing something. Any help?

If you're adding the bannerView_, you'll have to decrease the height of your webView accordingly to make room for the bannerView_. Since the origin of the ad looks like its at (0,0), you probably want something similar to this in your adView:DidReceiveAd: callback:
webView.frame = CGRectMake (0, bannerView_.frame.size.height, webView.frame.size.width, webView.frame.size.height - bannerView_.frame.size.height);
