Apple App Store listing not displaying in AdMob app link search

[Timothy Hutton]

Hello, I am curious about the timeline for linking my Apple App Store listing to my matching AdMob iOS app entry. I have completed review of my app with Apple and I am ready to release it. 4 days have passed since the successful review, but I still cannot get the linkage to work within AdMob despite trying with my developer name, app name, and app ID. 

Is it possible to link the app before it's released so that ads will display? I don't want to release it without making sure that monetization is functioning correctly. Test ads display correctly, but I am yet to see production ads populating within the app.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK Support team.

If you have recently listed your app on a store, it may take 24 to 48 hours before you can link to it. In some cases, it may take up to one week.  For more information, kindly refer to Link your app to an app store.

No, you cannot get production ads in an app before it's officially released and linked to an app store. If your application is in the closed testing phase or in the open testing phase, you will only receive test ads until the application is fully launched. If you want to test ads before going into production, kindly refer to Enable test ads. 

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
 

Mobile Ads SDK Team
