How to integrate facebook ads in ios app

To integrate Facebook Audience Network ads into your iOS app, you’ll need to follow these general steps:

1. Create a Facebook Developer Account:
   Go to the Facebook Developers website (https://developers.facebook.com/) and sign up or log in with your Facebook account. Once logged in, create a new app or select an existing app to integrate Facebook ads.
2. Add Your App to Facebook:
   After creating your app in the Facebook Developer Dashboard, you need to add your iOS app to the app settings. You’ll need to provide your app’s bundle ID.
3. Set Up Facebook SDK:
   Add the Facebook SDK to your iOS project using CocoaPods or manually. Using CocoaPods:
   Add the following line to your Podfile and run pod install:

   pod 'FacebookSDK'

Manually:
Download the Facebook SDK from the Facebook Developer website and follow the instructions to add it to your Xcode project.

4. Initialize Facebook SDK:
   In your AppDelegate or ViewController, initialize the Facebook SDK with your app ID.

   // Swift
   import FacebookCore

   func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
       ApplicationDelegate.shared.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
       return true
   }

5. Add Facebook Ad Components:
   Add Facebook ad components to your view controller’s storyboard or programmatically. Example Native Ad:

   // Swift
   import FBAudienceNetwork

   class ViewController: UIViewController, FBNativeAdDelegate {

       var nativeAd: FBNativeAd?

       override func viewDidLoad() {
           super.viewDidLoad()

           nativeAd = FBNativeAd(placementID: "YOUR_PLACEMENT_ID")
           nativeAd?.delegate = self
           nativeAd?.loadAd()
       }

       func nativeAdDidLoad(_ nativeAd: FBNativeAd) {
           // Ad loaded successfully, now you can display it
       }

       func nativeAd(_ nativeAd: FBNativeAd, didFailWithError error: Error) {
           // Handle ad loading error
       }
   }

6. Load Facebook Ads:
   In your view controller, load the ad into the ad view.

   // Swift
   nativeAd?.loadAd()

7. Handle Ad Events:
   Implement delegate methods to handle events such as ad loading, clicks, and errors.

   // Swift
   func nativeAdDidLoad(_ nativeAd: FBNativeAd) {
       // Ad loaded successfully
   }

   func nativeAd(_ nativeAd: FBNativeAd, didFailWithError error: Error) {
       // Handle ad loading error
   }

8. Test Your Integration:
   Before releasing your app, make sure to test your Facebook ads integration using test ads provided by Facebook. You can use your device’s advertising ID to see test ads.
9. Publish Your App:
   After testing, you can publish your app with Facebook ads integrated.

Remember to comply with Facebook’s advertising policies and guidelines when integrating and displaying ads in your app.
