cannot see iAds - iphone

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...

admob : Ads diffusion limited

I recently have problem with my Google Admob account and Google block my account temporarily because their say their are incorrect traffic in my account (but I don't do anything such as click on ads that appear on my apps).
Their reactivated my account few day ago and I try to add some ads code to my new application. Before going to production, I test ads with "Ad test" And all work perfect.
But when I use my real app ID for pub, I don't see add or I see a black screen where ad suppose to be. And this morning, I saw Google send me a mail that say their limited ads diffusion because their mention incorrect traffic on my account buy I don't make action such as clicking to ads.
I don't understand what really happen when their say I have incorrect traffic.
Should I not open my app when I put ads on it and how can I do to avoid this issue for the next time?
Thanks.
(Sorry for my English)
wait for few days
google will analyze your traffic and they'll remove ad limits after completing their analyze.
may be you have small userbase or you got sudden ad request by many user. In this case, admob will add your account in Ad limited criteria.

iAd is Not Showing on device after releasing App

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.

iAds not showing in released iPhone 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.

App Ready For Sale, but iAd "receiving test ads"!

My free app was approved on 17 June. And TODAY (22nd June) in my iAd iTC page
it still says "Receiving test ads". Im a non US developer, so there is no way to check
what is showing in my app in the US. Im seeing requests as well. But 0 impression.
Revenue is lost definitely.
Btw some info about my app:
My iTC app's iAd setting is enabled.
My app is built and submitted using XCode4.
During testing, test ads appears normally both in device and sim.
My other ad (i use admob when iAd fails) is working fine and getting clicks.
I have also contacted iTC people through the Contact Us forms in iTC,
but I guess will only get a reply a bit late..
Does anyone experienced this? How to rectify this problem? Any way to have a speedy repair? It is such a shame that on launching where the exposure is the max, but yet unable to earn anything due to this stupid problem. SIGH
My app finally changes to "Receiving Live Ads" today. (25th June).
Here is what I did.
1. Report to iAdNetwork team about the problem
a) Login to your iTC page and click Contact Us
b) Select "iAd Network" -> "General iAd Network Questions" -> "General iAd Network Inquiry"
c) A form will come out and fill in those details (including your problematic app's ID).
d) Submit the form and wait for 1 week (this is the time I got mine fixed).
Hope anyone else having this problem will find this helpful.
Cheers.

iAds Mechanism to show iAds

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.
Regards
abdul Samad
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.
