Migrate to Banner Ad Units API
This guide explains how to integrate the LevelPlay APIs using an ad unit ID to load and display banner ads.
Create Banner Ad Object and Set Size
The creation of the banner ad object should be done after receiving onInitSuccess callback.
// Create the banner view and set the ad unit id
self.bannerAdView = [[LPMBannerAdView alloc] initWithAdUnitId:@"adUnitId"];
// Create the banner view and set the ad unit id
self.bannerAdView = LPMBannerAdView(adUnitId: "adUnitId")
Banner Sizes
Legacy | Ad Unit (new) | Dimensions in dp |
ISBannerSize | LPMAdSize | (Width X Height) |
ISBannerSize_BANNER | bannerSize | 320 x 50 |
ISBannerSize_LARGE | largeSize | 320 x 90 |
ISBannerSize_RECTANGLE | mediumRectangleSize | 300 x 250 |
ISBannerSize_SMART | Replaced by Adaptive Ad Size (see below) | Automatically renders ads to adjust size and orientation for mobile & tablets |
To create the ad size follow one of these options:
Adaptive ad size that adjusts to the screen width (recommended):
This option returns BANNER or LEADERBOARD according to the device type.
Networks that supports adaptive feature (Google, Yandex) will return the a height based on their optimization logic.
LPMAdSize *bannerSize = [LPMAdSize createAdaptiveAdSize];
[self.bannerAdView setAdSize: bannerSize];
let bannerSize = LPMAdSize.createAdaptive()
self.bannerAdView.setAdSize(bannerSize)
Specific banner size:
This option allows you to set specifically a banner size: BANNER, LARGE, MEDIUM_RECTANGLE.
LPMAdSize *bannerSize = [LPMAdSize largeSize];
[self.bannerAdView setAdSize: bannerSize];
let bannerSize = LPMAdSize.large()
self.bannerAdView.setAdSize(bannerSize)
Placements
We support placements in banners for reporting only. Placements should be set before the loadAd, to affect all reloaded ads.
// Set the placement name
[self.bannerAdView setPlacementName:@"PlacementName"];
// Set the placement name
self.bannerAdView.setPlacementName("PlacementName")
Set Banner Delegates
Implement the LPMBannerAdViewDelegate instead of LevelPlayBannerDelegate in your code to get informed of ad delivery.
- It is recommended to set the delegates before loading the banner ad.
- Please note that each banner ad view should have its own delegate implementation.
- Callbacks run on the main thread.
// Set delegate implementation
[self.bannerAdView setDelegate:self]
#pragma mark - LPMBannerAdViewDelegate
- (void)didLoadAdWithAdInfo:(nonnull LPMAdInfo *)adInfo {
//Ad was loaded successfully
}
- (void)didFailToLoadAdWithAdUnitId:(nonnull NSString *)adUnitId error:(nonnull NSError *)error {
// Ad load failed
}
- (void)didClickAdWithAdInfo:(LPMAdInfo *)adInfo {
// Ad was clicked
}
- (void)didDisplayAdWithAdInfo:(LPMAdInfo *)adInfo {
// Ad was displayed and visible on screen
}
- (void)didFailToDisplayAdWithAdInfo:(LPMAdInfo *)adInfo error:(NSError *)error {
// Ad was failed to be displayed on screen
}
- (void)didLeaveAppWithAdInfo:(LPMAdInfo *)adInfo {
// User pressed on the ad and was navigated out of the app
}
- (void)didExpandAdWithAdInfo:(LPMAdInfo *)adInfo {
// Ad is opened on full screen
}
- (void)didCollapseAdWithAdInfo:(LPMAdInfo *)adInfo {
// Ad is restored to its original size
}
// Set delegate implementation
self.bannerAdViewView.setDelegate(self)
func didLoadAd(with adInfo: LPMAdInfo) {
//Ad was loaded successfully
}
func didFailToLoadAd(withAdUnitId adUnitId: String, error: Error) {
// Ad load failed
}
func didClickAd(with adInfo: LPMAdInfo) {
// Ad was clicked
}
func didDisplayAd(with adInfo: LPMAdInfo) {
// Ad was displayed and visible on screen
}
func didFailToDisplayAd(with adInfo: LPMAdInfo, error: Error) {
// Ad was failed to be displayed on screen
}
func didLeaveApp(with adInfo: LPMAdInfo) {
// User pressed on the ad and was navigated out of the app
}
func didExpandAd(with adInfo: LPMAdInfo) {
// Ad is opened on full screen
}
func didCollapseAd(with adInfo: LPMAdInfo) {
// Ad is restored to its original size
}
LevelPlay Ad Info
The LevelPlayAdInfo parameter includes information about the loaded ad.
Learn more about its implementation and available fields here.
IronSource Legacy API | Ad Unit API | |
Delegates | LevelPlayBannerDelegate | LPMBannerAdViewDelegate |
Events | didLoad | didLoadAdWithAdInfo |
didFailToLoadWithError | didFailToLoadAdWithAdUnitId | |
didClickWithAdInfo | didClickAdWithAdInfo | |
didPresentScreenWithAdInfo | didExpandAdWithAdInfo | |
didDismissScreenWithAdInfo | didCollapseAdWithAdInfo | |
didLeaveApplicationWithAdInfo | didLeaveAppWithAdInfo | |
– | didDisplayAdWithAdInfo | |
– | didFailToDisplayAdWithAdInfo |
Load Banner Ad
To load a banner ad, use loadAd instead of IronSource.loadBanner.
// Load the banner ad
[self.bannerAdView loadAdWithViewController:self]
// Load the banner ad
self.bannerAdView.loadAd(with: self)
Pause and Resume Banner Refresh
You can pause banner refresh in your code if the refresh value was defined in the platform. Use the following methods to stop the automatic refresh of the banner ad, or re-enable it after pausing.
When the banner is displayed again, it will complete the time till refresh, from the time it was paused.
- pauseAutoRefresh – pauses auto-refresh of the banner ad.
- resumeAutoRefresh – resumes auto-refresh of the banner ad after it has been paused.
// Pause refresh
[self.bannerAdView pauseAutoRefresh];
// Resume refresh
[self.bannerAdView resumeAutoRefresh];
// Pause refresh
self.bannerAdView.pauseAutoRefresh()
// Resume refresh
self.bannerAdView.resumeAutoRefresh()
Destroy Banner Ad
To destroy a banner, call the destroy method.
A destroyed banner can no longer be shown again. To display more ads, create a new LPMBannerAdView object.
Multiple Ad Unit Banner APIs
Legacy | Ad Unit (new) | |
Banner Ad View | ISBannerView | LPMBannerAdView |
API | loadBannerWithViewController | loadAdWithViewController |
loadBannerWithViewController | setPlacementName | |
destroyBanner | destroy | |
– | LPMAdSize.width | |
– | LPMAdSize.height | |
– | pauseAutoRefresh | |
– | resumeAutoRefresh |
Full Implementation Example of Banner Ads
Here is an example for creating and loading a banner ad using adaptive banner size.

@interface BannerAdViewController () <LPMBannerAdViewDelegate>
@property(nonatomic, strong) LPMBannerAdView *bannerAd;
@end
@implementation BannerAdViewController

[self.bannerAd destroy];
}

// Create the banner view and set the ad unit id
self.bannerAd = [[LPMBannerAdView alloc] initWithAdUnitId:@"adUnitId"];
// Set the placement name (optional)
[self.bannerAd setPlacementName:@"PlacementName"];
// Set the ad size
LPMAdSize *bannerSize = [self getBannerSize];
// Required when using adaptive ad size
if (bannerSize == nil) {
return;
}
[self.bannerAd setAdSize:bannerSize];
// Set the delegate implementation
[self.bannerAd setDelegate:self];
// Add the banner view to the view hierarchy with the proper constraints
[self addBannerViewWithSize:bannerSize];
}
- (LPMAdSize *)getBannerSize {
// 1. Recommended - Adaptive ad size that adjusts to the screen width
LPMAdSize *bannerSize = [LPMAdSize createAdaptiveAdSize];
// 2. Adaptive ad size using fixed width ad size
// self.bannerSize = [LPMAdSize createAdaptiveAdSizeWithWidth:400];
// 3. Specific banner size - BANNER, LARGE, MEDIUM_RECTANGLE
// self.bannerSize = [LPMAdSize mediumRectangleSize];
return bannerSize;

self.bannerAd.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
