Blank iAd in newly approved Flappy Bird clone

Hi everyone. I've just had a very simple game approved by Apple, based on the Mackimack Flappy Bird clone plugin. That's the only screen in the app and I've enabled iAds. When I was testing the app in the simulator and on my phone, the test ads appeared ok. The app was approved 24 hours ago but the iAds are blank. Additionally, attempts to access the iAd reports in iTunes Connect fail with an error, "iAd network is temporarily available". Has anyone experienced similar? I'm kind of hoping it just takes a bit longer for the iAd side of things to come to life after approval... Thanks P.S. I have accepted all the contracts, given bank details, etc.

Hi juk, Mine took about 48 hours to start serving ads after approval. I have another app though where the ads never did start and it doesn't report to the iAds dashboard either, so not sure what the deal is there... But I think I must have set that one up wrong. when you can get into the iAds dashboard, see if it reports as "receiving test ads", but until 48-72 hours after approval, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Mine took awhile as well. I actually saw my app as still waiting for approval in the iAd portal even though the app was approved. I had to email Apple and they took care of it after 2 weeks Dave

Thanks for the response guys, much appreciated. Still nothing but I've dropped them a line and will post it back here if anything useful comes out of it.

Just in case anyone sees this and has the same problem. It was some kind of problem with my account which needed fixing manually by the iAd people. It then worked fine.
