containerView.hidden == YES after ad controller switch

[dan55304]

I'm having an issue when primary ad controller can't get an ad and the secondary controller gets an ad. It appears animateBannerForAdapterVisible executes before animateBannerForAdapterHidden. The result is that ads are permanently hidden after the first ad controller switch.

In my case the primary controller is for iAd and the second for Google if that makes a difference.

There is no difference in behavior if the first ad is iAd or Google. The adapter is set to hidden every time after the first ad switch.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I've run out of things to try.

Is it that you have no ads show up at all, or you have one ad adapter's hidden property set to YES?

[dan55304]

The hidden property is set to YES. The ad displays briefly and then disappears leaving just a gray background where the ad should be. Tracing through the execution, the new ad is displayed (setting hidden to NO) and then the prior ad is animated out (setting hidden to YES). For now, I've changed animateBannerForAdapterHidden from:

self.containerView.hidden = YES;

to:

self.containerView.hidden = !anyAdsVisible;

BTW, even with my change, the ads disappear if the device is rotated. I have my app set to not allow rotation but LARS still responds to rotation attempts and my ads disappear leaving the gray rect where they should be.
