iAd error "Ad inventory unavailable" [Solved]

Question

I'm adding iAd to my app. Now, in simulator, it works well but when I load it on a device (v4.1) the ADBannerViewDelegate calls bannerView:didFailToReceiveAdWithError: with this description on the error.userInfo

{
    ADInternalErrorCode = 3;
    NSLocalizedFailureReason = "Ad inventory unavailable";
}

I think my iAd Network setup is correct. Have I to add an ad by myself or iAd Network automatically sends test ads as in simulator?

EDIT: solution on comments

Answer 1

if you running with a development certificate you will only get test ads even when running on a device. From the iAd Programming Guide:

While you are developing your application, iAd Network sends test advertisements to your application. To assist you in validating your implementation, the iAd Network occasionally returns errors to test your error handling code. You can also test your error handling support by turning your device’s wireless capability off.

So you should see the test Ad on the device but you will never see a real live ad.

Answer 2

i am having the same problem Please Do let me know how to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance.

Answer 3

I am having the same problem. I never got the test ad to load on the device, however my code work fine on the simulator. ADInternalErrorCode=3 No inventory is what I always get on the device.

Any clues?

Answer 4

After this did not work for me, deleting the app from the device and doing a clean build did.
