I had an app approved about 8hours ago, during development my iAds were working fine and I was receiving test ads in the simulator and on my iPhone. But I've downloaded the official version and so have a few of my friends and we're not receiving any ads no matter how long the app stays open. In the iAds Network area of iTunes connect it says that my app is receiving live ads.
Can someone please telL me if i've done something wrong and what can i do to fix it.
Currently iAd is supported in some of the countries. Because of this it might be possible you are not able to see the ads.
Supported Countries,
iAd campaigns currently run in the U.S, Canada, Mexico, U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.
As I can see, you enabled the display of advertisements in your app's iTunes Connect page while it was in edit mode. A friend of mine, who is also a developer, said that it can take two weeks before you start seeing the first ads in the official version of your approved app.

I just my app got approved and when I downloaded the app ,iAds are not showing up, when I saw the status of iAds it says"You have enabled at least one application for iAd, but you will not be able to view the iAd Network module or set your ad preferences until you have an iAd Network Contract in effect.", Although I have setup all my contacts informations for setting iAds and it also show effective date.If anyone get the same thing please let me know the solution.
Looks like you are missing a contract agreement. Login to itunesconnect.apple.com, go to the Contracts, Tax and Banking section and fill in the contact info and bank info for iAd network.
If you have them in place, it might be that Apple is verifying the info. As soon as it is verified, your ads should start working.
I have solved my problem by mailing and contacting apple. Its look like they have forget to enable the iAds, when I contacted them, my iADs are started running live next day.
Checked couple of questions regarding not showing iAd after releasing application on App Store.
Make all necessary settings for iAd, The test ads are showing fine in simulator and Device, then release application and enable iAd Network for that application.
In iAd Network Section, the status shows as "Live Ads" and requests are increasing every day.
When click on that application, the status is as "Live: This app is receiving live ads. You have not configured ad preferences for this app." anything i am missing?
On which email-id to contact apple?
please help....
It depends, first, from AppStore country where you App was bought by user, and, second from country from where user runs your app.
As stated here http://developer.apple.com/iad: iAd advertisements are currently being served to apps on the U.S., U.K., Germany, Italy, Spain, France, and Japan App Stores.
I have created a new version and released it on the App store...
The new v1.1 has been approved as well..This version has the iAds code installed in it..
While testing, I was able to see "Test Adv"
But for some reasons, when I download my app, I do not see the iAds in the app..
The Ads Status in my iTunes connect says "Live Ads" and even shows a few numbers for some users..
But why do I not get to see the ads ? Is it like if I am the dev, I'll not see any ads?
Please help me. Thank you.
I am guessing because you are paid for views for your iAds, it makes sense that Apple doesn't serve up ads for the developer's iTunes account. The other reason you might not see an ad (assuming you try it on someone else's device) is the less than 100% fill rate.
I have never seen an iAd on my dev iPhone, but rest-assured, the ads are being shown :)
Update
Having a read of this article on 'Testing iAd Applications', it doesn't explicitly say that ads won't be served up on the developer's account, but it does mention what sort of ads will be served based on the build type.
I had the same issue and the same question with my app.
It turns out that there's not always an ad available to be displayed, ESPECIALLY if you are not in US.
I am in Canada and most of the time there's no ad to display.
Check you iAd Network control panel for the number of ad impressions, and sort by country.
In my case, US has over 90% fill rate (requests / impressions), while Canada is only 4%...
hope it helps...
I have an approved app in the Apple app store. I programmed iAds funcitonality on several screens. It works fine in the development version. obviously iAds show up as a dummy there.
The issue is that the app got approved by Apple yesterday: Naggy, as free app. But iAds are not showing up at all.
Any clues? Could it be that I forgot to set something up in the Itunes connect? I did sign-up for iAds (contract and bank account are set).
Ideas?
Did you enable iAds for the app itself? Select the app and click the 'Set Up iAd Network' button.
i have made a test application that loads apple test ads.
i am wondering how the real time ads will be loaded instead of apple test ads.
What is mechanism for loading the real time iAds. Can anybody help me in the regard.

As the documentation says, it depends on what kind of certificate was used to sign the app:
Developer build: test ads
Ad hoc: test ads
Distribution: live ads
As Jasarien notes, iAds will go live on 1 July 2010 so right now I suspect you would not get any ads at all.
The real ads will be loaded with the same mechanism that is used to load the test ads.
On July 1st Apple will "switch on" iAds and they will start appearing in place of the test ads.
You use the Developer Certificate and provisioning profile to build the release version of the app, and enable the ads while uploading to iTunes Connect. Then when people download your app off the App Store they will see the real ads, and you will make the real money. Apple says that Ad-Hoc and in-house distribution will only show the test ads.
