iAd Producer 4.2
iAd Producer makes it easy for you to design and assemble rich interactive content without any programming.This release contains a number of enhancements and fixes, including:
– Support for creating full-screen iPhone banners.
– Support for uploading iAd Producer projects to iAd Workbench.
– Folder reorganization in the Assets sidebar.
– Other fixes and improvements.
Today’s update is Apple’s latest move in its ongoing efforts to attract advertisers to its struggling iAd network. Earlier this year, it expanded Workbench access to include all Apple IDs—not just registered developers.
