iAd Banner Implementation

Question

I'm trying to implement iAd banner in my game programmed with Swift. So far I have had no success. WWDC 2014 workshop videos only show implementation for objective-c. Following the advice posted on other questions I have tried using this:

# import iAd

class GameViewController: UIViewController, ADBannerViewDelegate  {

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    self.canDisplayBannerAds = true
    self.adBannerView.delegate = self
    self.adBannerView.hidden = true

I have two compiler errors on self.adBannerView.delegate = self and on self.adBannerView.hidden = true

Both errors say: GameViewController does not have a member adBannerView.

Here is an answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24771295/iad-in-xcode-6-with-swift/24788877#24788877 — Igor Barinov, Nov 05 '14 at 08:28
I still have the compilers errors, do you have any idea what could that be? — Emanuel Gonzalez, Nov 05 '14 at 10:56

You should unwrap optional to avoid error you mentioned in your post

self.adBannerView?.delegate = self
self.adBannerView?.hidden = true

P.S. found this example working https://github.com/ashishkakkad8/iAdBannerExample

You haven't declared an instance variable named adBannerView.

If you've added the iAd BannerView in your storyboard, then create the instance variable and link it to the storyboard.

@IBOutlet var adBannerView: ADBannerView
