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 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.
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 recently publish my iPhone app. I enabled iAds for my app in iTunes Connect in Manage applications. The appl is released and is "Ready for sale" but when I click "iAd network" and click View, I get this message
Testing: This app is receiving test ads. This app's status is not yet Ready For Sale. You have configured ad preferences for this app.
Test ads show in simulator and I am not in the US (but I imaging I should be getting requests at least)
Help
Usually these things take time to propagate throughout the system. It may take until the next business day for Apple's servers to propagate the new information. If it takes longer than that, call Apple HQ and see what they say.
My app is approved on AppStore. In the iAd section of the screen, it keeps showing the black "Testing Advertisement" by Apple instead of a real ad. Is there any configuration I missed? Thanks
From the section in the iAd Programming Guide on Testing Banner Advertisements:
iAd Network automatically displays the
correct ad depending on the
application binary:
Application | Audience | Displayed Ads
Developer build | Developer | iAd
Network serves test ads.
Ad-hoc
distribution build | Beta Testers |
iAd Network serves test ads.
Signed
Distribution build | End Users | iAd
Network serves live ads if you signed
the iAd Network Agreement and enabled
advertising for your application.
Therefore, your development and ad hoc builds will only display test advertisements. Only the distribution build that is submitted to the App Store will display real ads. Unfortunately, that means that you'll need to wait and download your own application from the store to see real ads in action in your application.
iAd is a very big disappointment. Ads are shown only in certain geographical regions, in other areas system returns nothing after the request (you can check the statistics for your iAd profile in the iTunes Connect). So you won't see anything in the banner in Hong Kong, as I cannot see anything in Korea for the moment. If you want to make money on advertising consider using other ad provider, like admob.
Did you do everything here? Also, did you test your application on a different device to see if the ad shows up there correctly?
I think even if you download the app from the App Store, the app still shows test ads if you have the developer profile on. I tried removing it and running the app from the app store and it doesn't show test ads anymore.
