Ok so I went out on a limb with the iAd craze and released my a new app for free with iad support. It took me forever to figure out how to setup everything up so that the banner "only shows when there is an ad to show".

Now my app is live and I am not seeing any banner! Does apple just occasionally decide to throw you a bone every now and then and give you an ad to show? How does it work? Does the fact that nothing is showing up in my app currently mean that the iads aren't working, or just hiding properly? Please help!

Ps- I am running ios 4 on my 2g 8gb iPod touch...can iads not run on the iPod?

A: 

First off, make sure your iPod has a valid Internet connection.

Secondly, check to make sure you've added the iAd.framework in your Xcode project and that the sample advertisement shows up in Simulator and Device debug builds.

Thirdly, make sure you've filled out the correct application in iTunes Connect for your application to utilize iAd.

Best of luck to ya!

Thanks for the answer. I have Internet, I added the iad framework, in the simulator, and on the device when it's built from my computer, the test iad banner shows up (although it's never anything but that black and white apple test ad), I set everything up in tic, and there is a green light showing that my app is receiving live ads, but I have yet to see one...

Just a shot in the dark, it might be that Apple doesn't like the fact that you're showing "only when there is an Ad to show"?

A: 

As I known, you can see iAd banner if you are running the iPhone/iPod app in US.
