    Have you published to app store or as an ad hoc build? iAds work in preview but will not show in the final build. The code will be there but it is up to Apple on whether you get an ad. All that 'show iAd' does is sends a call to Apple asking for an ad, its up to them whether you see them or not. Also, it only shows ads in certain countries at the mo. If you have submitted to Apple, look in your iAd network to see stats like how many times you've asked for ads, been granted, etc, etc

    so until Apple sends me in my application of the IAD does not see?
    I could make an example of how you put the IAD function in an application so I'm sure it works.

    Correct, the actor will just be blank and if an ad is sent to it, it then fills the space at the top or bottom depending on where you put it. I've released my 1st game with iAds today (Doodle Volcano FULL), its gone live, i've tested and i've seen iAds. Check it out;

    I saw your ads beefy but I released my first iad game today and don't see them working at all (although they did in testing). Can someone try it out and see if they get iads to show?

    If you see the test ad, iAds is working.

    iAds is only available in a feqw countries so far, like 4, odds are its not in your country yet, so you won't see them.

    Where are you located?

    Hmm well I'm in the US. I guess they must be working somewhat but my fill rate is like .07... pretty lame. I have like 3 impressions. I put the iad request on all the scenes so is that bad? Should it only be on the first scene? Do fill rates improve with popularity of the app or is there some other method to improve it?

    1upgamestudio, where are you located?

    Bread man, fill rates depend on how many times your app has been downloaded and how many times it's used. Apple decides how often to show an ad, and they want to make sure it's seen by e greatest number of people.

    What are downloads like for your game

    I'm italian and my Game gas bene download about 400 Times.
  • beefy_clyrobeefy_clyro Member Posts: 5,394
    I'll download shortly crazy and let you know if i see any.
  • beefy_clyrobeefy_clyro Member Posts: 5,394
    Have just tried TN Dash a few times and i am not seeing any ads.
  • jonmulcahyjonmulcahy Member, Sous Chef Posts: 10,408
    iAds are no supported in Italy yet, you'll never see them.
    400 times is barely a drop in the pond for downloads, at a very low fill rate you'll maybe get. 1-4 impressions.

    When you login to iTunes connect what does it show under iads

    @crazybreadman, just downloaded your app and i saw iAds. I clicked an ad too :)
  • CrazybreadmanCrazybreadman Member Posts: 674
    @arton- haha thanks, I still haven't seen one yet but at it's current fill rate they may be rare. Or... does Apple not send ads to you if you are the dev of the app?

    iAds is not supported on all (or even most) countries. It's in the USA, UK and a handful of others.

    It also depends on advertisers paying to advertise in your country. Most of the iAds I've seen have been from Tron or the Nissan Leaf, and you're not going to see those in Israel, they are targeting the USA audience.

    As long as you see the test advertisement in testing iAds is working and will show up with your app is being played on a phone from one of those countries. It doesn't matter from which store you download the game, it's where the iPhone is getting service from.
