iOS7 Auto Layout, View Resize and iAds

Question

I\'m using Auto Layout in my iOS 7 project with the following view hierarchy

Main View
-Container View
---Button
---Button
---ImageView
-Banner View

Answer 1

After you create the banner view in code (and add it as a subview of main view), you should add a 0 length spacing constraint between the bottom of the container view, and the top of the banner view (the banner view would need constraints to the two sides of the main view and a height constraint as well). The container view should have 0 length constraints to all four edges of the main view. You should make an IBOutlet to that bottom constraint, and animate that constraint's constant value by an amount equal to the height of the banner view (so it will shrink, and the banner view will move up with it due to its 0 length vertical spacing constraint). So, if the outlet to the bottom constraint was called bottomCon, and the height of the banner view was 100 points, you would animate like this:

[UIView animateWithDuration:animated ? 0.25 : 0.0 animations:^{
        self.bottomCon.constant = 100;
        [self.mainView layoutIfNeeded];
    }];

There's no need to hide and unhide the view, since you will initially place it off the bottom of the screen anyway. Also make sure that you call [bannerView setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:NO] right after you create the banner view, or you'll get auto layout errors when you run the app.
