Not displaying any iAd ads

[Koen Pijnenburg]

Hi,

I recently updated to the latest SDK and updated my app to support
iAds. My app doesn't show any iAds, i can't test it myself(in the
Netherlands) but the reports show 0 views.
I have set iAd to 99% but it still won't work.

I have another app without AdWhirl and working iAds so it's not an
iTunes problem.

All help is very much appreciated.

I seem to be getting the same problem: The test builds of my app (ad-
hoc and debug builds) show the iAds test ads just fine. Now that the
app is live, I have 0.00 displays reported in iTunesConnect. That's
VERY odd. Is iAds restricted to the US currently or something like
that? Otherwise, I can't really see a reason for this lack of ads.

Yes iAds are currently US only. But my app isn't US only, and my other
app is neither. Though my other app is getting iAds fine.

Please can someone from Adwhirl answer this?

[Koen Pijnenburg]

Too bad no support exists for AdWhirl. We are dropping AdWhirl from
our apps.

Hi Koen, Ben,

Without more information it's hard to know what the issue might be.
Fill is definitely a potential problem for iAd since it's so new.

Have you tried creating a normal iAd view in your application? This
would be a good place to start to see where the issue lies.

Hi there,

I think in my case it might simply be that iAds are not served outside
the US yet. The funny thing is that I couldn't find any "official"
confirmation of this, just some blog posts from non-Apple sources
stating it.

That would explain why iAds seem to work just fine in ad-hoc and
development builds, but don't show up after release.

yes... iAds are only served in USA/Canada

but if your app is released and international.. you should get views.

also you may install a vpn service, so you may access the net like a
user from usa.

i did that for testing (using https://www.spicevpn.com/ )
On my iMac i set VPN and access the net from my iphone over wifi
through my iMac.

Very helpful for such testing purposes.

I have same problem too.
My iAd request is zero.
It didn't make sense.....
If the impressions is zero, you can say "iAds are only served in USA/
Canada"
but request is also zero =.=
Who can tell me why?

Thank you so much!!
