47,912 PointsYour problem likely stems from the fact that as soon as you set canDisplayBannerAds to true the iAd framework takes your view variable and assigns it to an ADBannerView that it generates and manages itself. It places what's in your original view variable in another variable called originalContentView. Because of this, you also don't need to conform to ADBannerViewDelegate, nor do you have to save a reference to your own ADBannerView. After you delete the ADBannerView from this view in Interface Builder, this should be a fixed version of your code:
import UIKit
import iAd
class ViewController: UIViewController{
@IBOutlet weak var funFactLable: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var funFactButton: UIButton!
let factBook = FactBook()
let colorWheel = ColorWheel()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
funFactLable.text = factBook.randomFact()
canDisplayBannerAds = true
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
@IBAction func showFunFact() {
var randomColor = colorWheel.randomColor()
//Your view is called originalContentView, since you're using canDisplayBannerAds
originalContentView.backgroundColor = randomColor
funFactButton.tintColor = randomColor
funFactLable.text = factBook.randomFact()
}
}

Courses Plus Student 1,420 Pointsyour coding gives me lots of treat and my application is crashing and i want to keep the iad banner and the background color please help me out if you can
thank you
Michael Hulet
47,912 PointsSetting canDisplayBannerAds will create and show its own banner view. There's no need to create and manage one yourself. If you delete your ADBannerView in your storyboard and use my code above (which you might wanna copy and paste again, as I might've made a few edits since you last did so), everything should work

3,770 PointsThanks for this !! Not only have I solved the same problem but I understand why - to fix myself in the future (Y)
Marc Biggar
10,942 PointsIf you just keep your original code and add:
originalContentView.backgroundColor = randomColor
into your showFunFact method it should work also - did for me anyway
