Why are my iAds not showing up in my approved app

Question

I realize that this isin't a programming question but I know that a lot off people here are iOS developers so i'll just ask anyways.

I had an app approved about 8hours ago, during development my iAds were working fine and I was receiving test ads in the simulator and on my iPhone. But I've downloaded the official version and so have a few of my friends and we're not receiving any ads no matter how long the app stays open. In the iAds Network area of iTunes connect it says that my app is receiving live ads.

Can someone please telL me if i've done something wrong and what can i do to fix it.

Answer 1

Some other people have said that it is due to limited inventory-- ie. not enough ads to display to all users.

Answer 2

If the problem still excist, you should contact Apple. Maybe there is some configation problem at there side.

Answer 3

If it says its live in iTunes Connect then it is working. The fill rate, however, is very low. I'm currently getting a fill rate of less than 5%, mainly because iAds is only live in a couple of countries (US and UK).

Answer 4

Thanks guys I did contact apple and they told me that its because they are only supported in the US and UK, and i'm living in Canada so thats why I can't see the ads. It does seem that i'm getting about a 7% fill rate right now.
