Introduction
"iAd" is a mobile advertising platform developed by Apple for its iPhone, iPad or iPod. These mobile devices allow third-party developers to directly embed advertisements into their applications.
In this article I will create a single view application. For this app first we add the iAD framework to implement iAd for iPhone. Here I will provide you code but it does not work in the iOS 6 Platform because a few things of iAd are deprecated from iOS 6, mostly due to the new screen sizes. If you want to check it's functioning you will run this app in the iOS 5 environment.
To better understand follow these instructions.
Step 1
Open Xcode by double-clicking on it.
Step 2
Create a New XCode Project by clicking on it.
Step 3
Now Select Single View Application and click on "Next".
Step 4
Now provide your Product Name and Company Identifier.
Step 5
Select the location where you want to save your project and click on "Create".
Step 6
First we add the framework iAD framework that is required.
To import this framework we use the following.
Step 7
Click on the project and select "Build Phase".
Step 8
Click on the "+" icon to add a framework.
Step 9
Now click on the "Add" button.
Step 10
Now we write the following code.

- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
// Sent when the application is about to move from active to inactive state. This can occur for certain types of temporary interruptions (such as an incoming phone call or SMS message) or when the user quits the application and it begins the transition to the background state.
// Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and throttle down OpenGL ES frame rates. Games should use this method to pause the game.
}
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application
{
// Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.
// If your application supports background execution, this method is called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.
}
- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application
{
// Called as part of the transition from the background to the inactive state; here you can undo many of the changes made on entering the background.
}
- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
// Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
}
- (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application
{
// Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.
