iOS Publishing - newborn's questions on ads

Hello -

I would like some guidance or responses on iOS Publishing and ads. I believe I recently read some threads concerning issues with ads on free apps and possibly non-Pro accounts. Please feel free to correct me or point me to a proper thread.

  1. I believe GS is currently using Playhaven as an "ad publisher" (they would be the source of ads), correct? If not, could you please indicate which would be the "ad publisher" as of Aug-01-2014?
  2. Is there any info on what the ads' size and position are, and depending on device (iPhone, iPad, possibly non-Apple products)?
  3. Expanding on #2, does the programmer have any governance over where the ads are displayed in an app?
  4. Can a free app have no ads? For example, if I go GS Pro, do I have that option available?
  5. Can a paid app have no ads? I am just about certain of the answer, but would like someone else to validate.

I am just about wrapping up a small app, and would like to know if the actors (buttons) are placed in a position where an ad would not impede the app's use if it had to have ads. I wouldn't mind if the first app were free (no charge) if I had to pay for it (Apple developer fee and GS Pro fee), as long as it were an absolute certainty said app had no ads, as it would be an investment (learning experience). Apologies if the post is too simple or discusses something beat to death.

Thanks,
Marcos
