Q: Upload from iAd Producer fails with error "The Ad contains an invalid banner type".
I worked half a day on an ad in iAd Producer, only to see it fails right after the upload with this error:
"The Ad contains an invalid banner type"
"iAd Workbench currently accepts standard banners. Remove all other banner types and try upload your banner again."
The error and the documentation give no hints on what these "standard banners" are exactly. My project is based on the Tap - Web iAd Blueprint, which requires a bunch of images to be created. I created all of these, regular images as jpeg, transparent images as png. At first the png's were normal (24-bit), but then I read in the help that 8-bit is required. Downgrading the png's to 8-bit didn't help to fix the error though. I also tried recreating the whole project, but it didn't help: same error.
Before the upload, I get this vague warning:
"Are you sure you want to upload your project with assets missing? There are 0 assets you haven't provided yet."
Sounds like a bug. This warning was there in my 1st and in my 2nd project, the 2nd one being the exact copy.
Finally I want to say that simulating in the simulator or Safari, or uploading to the sandbox works fine.
I'm using version 4.2 of iAd Producer on OS X 10.9.2.
Can anyone help me?
Has anyone been successful with the Tap - Web iAd Blueprint?
