How to remove the ads in all iOS—applications
iOS - the system is closed source, which is initially disabled access to system files. But, as a rule, they must be edited for ad blocking.
But this does not mean that to get rid of advertising on Apple mobile devices can not be. Simple process of its removal would be several times harder, because all manipulations necessary to carry out manually and at your own risk.
Mandatory requirement - the presence of the jailbreak, you have full access rights. Remember that this operation may be a cause for rejection of the warranty, and the error can turn your iPhone or iPad into a useless brick made of plastic and metal.
To navigate through the file system folders require manager, e.g. iFiles.
Changing the access rights to the folder
To advertisement appeared in a particular application, first of all it must be downloaded and saved to your device. In most cases, ads are saved in the Caches folder specific application. If you limit the entry in the directory, advertising will be nowhere to take the files for playback and you will not see it simply.
- Navigate to the folder with the program: User → Application → «name of the program."
- Find Caches folder.
- Set it right "Read" and "Run."
After that advertising in a particular application will not play.
Deleting images from the program folder
There are cases where creatives are downloaded with the software, rather than downloaded from the server in real time. Therefore, they can be simply removed.
- Go to the User → Containers → Bundle → Application → «name of the application."
- Delete the folder, all files that can be associated with advertising.
Removing iAd
iAd - the same service, which delivers advertisements on all Apple products. Delete the folder that have attitude toward it, we thus get rid of the unwanted content.
Go to the iOS system folder and delete the following:
- com.apple.iad.adlibd.
- iAdFramework.axbundle.
- iAd.framework.
- iAdCore.framework
Remember that all the techniques using the jailbreak does not guarantee 100% success, because I do not have any relation to Apple developers. And removing the excess of the system folders, you can display the phone down forever. Therefore, deciding to get rid of ads, beware.
