Hi everyone, So I created a wallpaper app with buzztouch and I essentially flipped the switch in the menus about iads. On my itunes connect, it says I have live ads running but when I go to my app, it still has the test ads. I am unsure what to do. Please let me know thanks.

The review team has to turn them on. I assume you turned on the switch after it has been reviewed and approved?

Thank you for the response. I am sure that I turned on the switch unless there is another switch that I am unaware of.

Before or after approval?

I had it switch on before the approval

I just downloaded it, and I'm getting test ads as well. Also on a fresh download I got your "old layout" I believe. I'm sure you are aware of that since you have the "refresh" button top.

Yes I have submitted an update for that. I realized that my config was outdated. But at this point, I am unsure whether or not it has to do with my side or apple for the ads

I have a feeling its an old config file thats causing the problems (no ads enabled), and when they reviewed it, they never added ads to it. Hence why you are getting test ads since it was never turned on at Apple's end.

So my best bet is to contact apple correct? Do I have to do anything with my current binary?

Well from my understanding they will ask you to upload an update to the app for review. I would make sure I have to latest binary, change the version to 1.5 or whatever you want, and re-upload. I'm sure you've made many changes since (looking from old config to the new one).

iamjimm If the above is correct you'll have to submit an update, not just contact Apple. Happy Friday.

Thank you. Appreciate the help! I have copied the config from buzztouch and replaced the older one. I hope that does the Job. Am I doing this correctly?

Hi guys, so I contacted apple team and they were able to show me a screenshot of the app running a live ad. They told me to powercycle my phone and that will put it back into production. I have already done so but no luck. I am not sure what to do. Was it because of my old config file?

That sorta dont make sense, Ive downloaded your app for the first time and received test ads.

Ok so I think I may have figured it out, I am unsure at the moment. So it could be because of my old config file, which I have already sent an update in and waiting for that OR the iAd network doesnt work on jailbroken phones. All my devices are jailbroken. I checked on my friend's device and he is running live ads. So maybe that is the issue. Are you also jailbroken?

Yes I'm JB'd as well. Why wouldn't ads work on JB phones? I have apps that have ads and work fine on my JB's phone. Did you check your app on your friends phone?

I have a important question- I activated iAds on my app both in Buzztouch and in my ios Deverloper account...the iAds worked fine when I tested my app on my own ipod touch...but now that the app is in the app store, the ads are not showing up at all even though all my setting are still the same...what happened to my iads?

Hi All, Just echoing the problem chuki (post above) is having - the 'test ads' work fine when running on emulator / locally though iPhone, but only a grey/whote semi transparent bar which fades away after a second when the app has been though the store. It is iAd approved by iTunes - it's free to download (http://itunes.apple.com/app/ielts-writing/id492160114?mt=8) so without the ads running, it's not really working :( Would really appreciate any kind of pointer as to what I may have stuffed up - cheers in advance. Patrick

Hi all again - looks like I should have done my research first - the ads are (in theory) working, but it seems that my fill rate is 0%, so no ads are available. 12,000 fill requests and 0% fill rate!!!!! Thanks anyway
