iPhone Dev. Apps: "Promo Codes" button in iTunes is missing - iphone

I have got a few apps in my iTunes Developer Backend.
Since yesterday the "Promo Code" button is missing in some of my apps details view. The rest of my apps have still this button and I can download promocodes. Does any one know this problem and maybe solved it?
Thx :-)

Thank you for contacting Apple
Developer Support with regard to
iTunes Connect Promo Codes. Please
know that applications which are rated
17+ will not be provided Promotional
Codes for distribution. As such, the
usual button to request Promo Codes in
iTunes Connect will not be visible for
these applications on the Version
Details page.
If one controls what you ship, is it censorship or dictatorship?

Are you looking under the currently shipping version? should be alongside the Manage Localizations
They did move around in the update to iTunesConnect a few months back.

Is your app rated 17+ ?
Apple recently turn off promo codes for applications rated 17+.

I had this same problem so I emailed Apple. Here is their reply:

That solved the mystery for me.

Just in case anyone is still looking, I found the Promo Codes button under the Features tab NOT the App Store tab of the app details page in iTunes Connect.

resubmit ios app after rejection

I have an iOS application that use an Web Server to grab Sports information. Now this application was rejected by Apple, because it shows information about NBA and INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE and the english premier league. So I made changes in code to avoid grabbing
this information.
Now my question is: What do I have to do to resubmit it?
Thanks in advance.
If your app is compliant to Apples Guidelines, you should head over to iTunesConnect and again click the "Ready to Submit Binary" button. If this is done you need to Archive, which should open the Organizer inside Xcode. Now you should "Validate" and finally "Distribute" your build to the AppStore.

cannot see iAds

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...
