Q: How do you delete unneeded pages in Blueprint?

All I want is a banner, splash page and download app page. I tried doing a template version but it keeps getting rejected. There are so many things about iAds that's unclear to me and I'm not getting any resolution. In workbench, when I upload my iAd Producer files, why do only the banners show and not my splash pages? Why does my project keep getting rejected with errors like big file sizes when I followed the specs to a "t" that are provided on their website? I really wish they were more specific with their rejection reasons and made iAds more user-friendly. This is the only Apple program that I haven't been able to quickly adapt to and there are little resources to solve issues. It seems like if I'm not having luck in the Producer templates, if I go to blueprints there are a lot of pages in the templates that I do not need but I'm not able to delete them when I download the project. I figured I'd try the blueprint route so that I can download all the assets and re-create them with the same file names so that nothing will be incorrect and everything will be synched. I wish the regular producer templates had assets you could download like the Blueprint version because even the naming of the files is very specific yet there's no real documentation on how to do it. Please help!

    First, I'd recommend you contact iAd support as they may be able to help resolve some of your issues.

     

    Regarding Blueprints vs. custom, you could start with a Blueprint, fill in every part you care about, ensure there are no validation errors reported by iAd Producer (Inspector sidebar), File > Convert to Normal Project, then delete any unused pages and banners.

     

    While I haven't used Workbench, in looking at the available ad types documented in the help (http://help.apple.com/iadworkbench/mac/2.0/#slvbb8575343), why not use the "Banner ad that plays a video with iTunes Store or App Store call to action" or "Banner ad that goes to iTunes Store or App Store product page"?
