Question

I am having trouble finding out why my iAd is not being removed after a purchase.

Here is what I am trying in the file that has the iAd:

#define kInAppPurchaseUpgradeProductId @"kInAppPurchaseUpgradeProductId"

NSUserDefaults * defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
BOOL adsAreOff = [defaults boolForKey:kInAppPurchaseUpgradeProductId];

if (!adsAreOff)
{
    adView = [[ADBannerView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
    adView.frame = CGRectOffset(adView.frame, 0, -50);
    adView.requiredContentSizeIdentifiers = [NSSet setWithObject:ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierPortrait];
    adView.currentContentSizeIdentifier = ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierPortrait;
    CGRect adFrame = adView.frame;
    adFrame.origin.y = self.view.frame.size.height-adView.frame.size.height;
    adView.frame = adFrame;
    adView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    [self.view addSubview:adView];
    adView.delegate=self;
    self.bannerIsVisible=NO;
}
else 
{
    [adView removeFromSuperview];
}

Here is what I am trying in my In-App Purchase code:

-(void)purchaseUpgrade
{
    SKPayment * payment = [SKPayment paymentWithProductIdentifier:kInAppPurchaseUpgradeProductId];
    [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] addTransactionObserver:self];
    [[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] addPayment:payment];
}

-(IBAction)purchaseButtonTapped
{
    NSUserDefaults * defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    [defaults setObject:adView forKey:kInAppPurchaseUpgradeProductId];

    // I tried this first, didn't work
    //[defaults setBool:TRUE forKey:kInAppPurchaseUpgradeProductId];

    [defaults synchronize];

    [self purchaseUpgrade];
}

Is this handled in the right place, or should it be in the paymentQueue method?

Make sure that you’re synchronizing your NSUserDefaults when you set the key after the application is purchased:

// After a purchase is made:
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[defaults setObject:SOMETHING forKey:kInAppPurchaseUpgradeProductId]
[defaults synchronize];
