You will create ads that utilize the powerful technologies in the iPhone to make your brand shine. Once you have engaged the user you can carry out targeted advertising campaigns with location-based coupons, store finders and social engagement. Using the iTunes Store you will see how it's even possible to add one-click digital content purchasing right within your ad. Learn how iAd producer manages all the HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3 behind your iAd. You will be creating emotive, gripping and effective mobile advertising campaigns in no time.

Preface

Time for action — wireless deployment


iAd Producer is able to share open projects wirelessly to iAd Tester. Make sure your iOS devices and Mac are connected to the same network before continuing.

  1. 1. Open iAd Producer and the project you want to test with. Make sure the project matches the device you're testing on; for example, iPhone projects will only be available on iPhones or iPod touches. Open the Interactions Demo project to test it on an iPhone.

  2. 2. Once the project is open, we'll need to enable wireless sharing. Open the preferences menu by selecting iAd Producer from the menu bar, then Preferences, or use the keyboard shortcut Cmd +, (a comma).

  3. 3. From the Preferences menu, open the Testing tab and confirm that the Enable iAd Testing on Devices slider is set to ON. If it isn't, slide it across to start it. The following screenshot shows the iAd Testing settings you should use:

    You can also toggle the wireless sharing on and off using the Share Ads Locally option from the iAd Producer...
