  I'm sorry, due to limited time, I cannot help you in publishing the app on the store. Anyway, I can provide you some youtube links where the process is explained.

  Hi, I've download the app from apple, but I don't see where a user can share with Facebook or twitter?

  Hi, sorry, I updated the app on the appstore. I made it with construct2, an HTML5 framework to make games. That is why it looks different. The source code you will buy looks exactly like the one you see in the video here on codester.

  Not like the one you see in the appstore. Anyway they are very similar. The version you have here has more features such as gamecenter and a sharing button

  IMPORTANT: the game uses cocoapods to manage the dependencies. So, in order to launch the app, you have to double click NOT on the file: "Baby Bird.xcodeproj"
  but on the workspace file: "Baby Bird.xcworkspace"

  Hi, what I use to change the images, Xcode or Cocoapods? I really don't know Cococoapods at all lol

  Hi, to change the images, you need to use xcode. Replace the old images with new ones from inside xcode (best way) or by changing it directly in the directory where they are (It is a lot simpler by using xcode!). Cocoapods is a way to manage the third part frameworks I used inside my project. There is a podfile inside the root directory (open it with textedit or some other editor, you will see what third part frameworks I used), but you don't use it., usually. Even if you can not use it, if you want to understand what it is and why is a good way to update the third part frameworks, here you have a guide: https://www.raywenderlich.com/626-cocoapods-tutorial-for-swift-getting-started
  anyway if you google a bit, you will find tons of information. Let me know if you need any other information. Best regards

  Thank you so much. I've made new images but they really don't look good when I use them. The background is square looking like. Even if I make them with a transparent background. Any suggestions on what software to use for that? Thank you so much once again.

  Hi, the images you see in my game are open source images so you can use it. If you want to customize more the game, I suggest you this website, and these collections of assets:
  
  https://opengameart.org/users/bevouliincom
  
  With the background, you need to choose a background with the same size as the background I put in the game, and also it should be parallaxed, it means the left border should match with the right border, so when the game scroll, everything works perfectly. Just try, you will find the solution which is best for the idea you have in mind

  Hi, one more question if you don't mind. While trying to set the distance between the two pipes. Top and bottom I mean. To make the game easier to play? I assume somewhere in settings.switf
•

  You should look, in settings.swift, for the text:
  
  " //Change this value to reduce/increase the space between the top pipe and bottom pipe. It is a value that can be adapted for every type of device
  var space: Float {
  return setValueForDevices(115.0, iPhone5Family: 120.0, iPhone6Family: 129.0, iPhone6PlusFamily: 147.0, iPadMiniFamily: 256.0, simulator: /*370.0*/147, iPadFamily: 256.0, iPadProFamily: 370.0, iPhoneXFamily: 147.0)
  }"
  
  For every type of device you have a value. Try to change it to find the best configuration for you. Remember: if you test the app on the simulator, id doesn't matter if the simulator you are using is an iPad, or iPhone6, or iPhone5, the only value that you must consider is the simulator value (simulator: /*370.0*/147). So, for example, if you want to test how a value of 134 works in an iPhone5:
  (a) IF YOU CAN TEST THE GAME ON A REAL DEVICE, you should put the value of 134, in the above part of code, like this: "iPhone5Family: 134.0" instead of the current "iPhone5Family: 120.0".
  (b) IF YOU WANT TO TEST THE GAME ON THE SIMULATOR, WITH THE IPHONE5 SIMULATOR, you should put the value of 134 like this: "simulator:134" instead of "simulator: /*370.0*/147". Then you launch the simulator, and you will see how is the configuration for an iPhone5 real device, with a value of 134. If next you launch the iPAd simulator, for example, the value of 134 is applied to the iPAd.
  
  Probably the explanation is not very clear, but if you try to change some values, you will understand how it works. experiment with the code by changing also the other settings.

  Thank you so much. I was on the right track but just wasn't changing the value enough. Thanks again.

  Ok ok I have another question for you. How would I go about changing "shareNotificationKey = "LDGIngegneria.shareNotificationKey" I've searched for hours with no luck.

  Sorry i am outside in these days. I will reply as soon as I can.

  "LDGIngegneria.shareNotificationKey" is just a string I use inside the app for the observers. You can use the same string and everything should work. Even if you change the string, it should work too.

  Oh ok, Thank you. Apple rejected it today.. I forgot to ask you about where to find any settings on this....

  We discovered one or more bugs in your app when reviewed on iPad running 12.3.1 on Wi-Fi.
  
  Specifically, your app allows user to share on Facebook and Twitter, however, when we tapped share button, we were asked to login to Facebook and/or Twitter, but no login option is provided in the app.

  Hi,
  Unfortunately in the latest iOS versions, the option to share something on Facebook/Twitter using "SLComposeViewController" is deprecated. Now you have to use UIActivityController. So you have two options:
  
  1) hide the button to share on facebook/twitter (which, by the way, is not used too much)
  2) instead of the functions "postToTwitter" and "postToFacebook" which uses SLComposeViewController, you can modify by yourself the code by substituting these portions of code with code to implement UIACtivityController (there are tons of tutorials online such as https://nshipster.com/uiactivityviewcontroller/, and it should not be that hard, could be a good way for you to learn )
  3) wait for me: As soon as I can, I will do the modifications to the code and I will upload the newer version on codester
  
  Let me know.

  Thank you very much. That was was of the big selling points of your app was the share. So having it work would be nice. What would be the best way to hide it for now? while you do your magic on an update? Thank you so much once again.

  Hello my friend. Hope you're doing well. I'm having a difficult time getting admob ads to run. For the life of me I can not get admob interstitial ads to run. If I place the banner ad id that only seems to work on an ipad. Any ideas? Is there a way to remove "promote your own apps" all together? Thank you in advance so much.
• 
  Jun 26, 2019
  gaetano78 Author

  To remove "promote your own apps" just change the function:
  func getRandomApp() -> (id: Int,description: String) {
  //just to avoid the annoying adv every time you launch the app. It will show the adv, but just sometimes
  let value = Int(arc4random_uniform(10))
  if (value > 4) {
  let index = Int(arc4random_uniform(5))
  let id = myAppIDs[index]
  let description = myAppsDescription[index]
  return (id, description)
  }
  else {
  return (-1,""
  }
  }
  Into:
  
  func getRandomApp() -> (id: Int,description: String) {
  return (-1,""
  }

  There is not admob interstitial. There is chartboost interstitial, as you can read in the attached pdf guide. Follow the guide to register to chartboost. If you want to implement admob interstitial, you have to do it by yourself I cannot do this because I have no time to make these modifications. Here a useful guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyF4g2gXNpA

  I tested the admob banner in my device, with the source code you downloaded. It works, so it should be something in your side. Check your admob account and the registration of the advertising unit. I can't help you in this, because it not depends on the app.
• 
  Jun 26, 2019

  Also, maybe the first times the banner is not shown because of the fill rate. If you see the banner at least once, it means everything is working.

  You should not write "Into" but just:
  
  func getRandomApp() -> (id: Int,description: String) {
  return (-1,""
  }
