My long dormant app project is feature complete. Everything seems to work as it should. Squashed a few memory bugs when Instruments was cooperating. Seems good.

So I'm done right? Nah. Still got the other 80% of app development to do.

Back to work.

After jumping back into one of my long dormant projects yesterday I decided to implement iAd support. At this point I think this app will be free with the ads so this is a no brainer.

The iAd framework is very easy to work with but adding support to an app with a complex view heirarchy is work. Adding support to a complex view heirarchy hand coded and left dormant for almost a year is a nightmare.

I finally figured it out and my app now supports iAds in a tab view controller with a tableview. You won't understand the level of difficulty unless you have tried this. I'm sure if you started from scratch with the intent of having ad support it isn't very difficult but if you have no xib to tweak this sort of setup can be tricky.

I did a bunch of reading online but this tutorial really helped me get my head around it.

It works. I'm happy. Today was a good day.
