iAds question

Hi all,

I know there is a thread about this already a few months ago but it doesn't quite come to a conclusion.

When it comes to enabling an app for iAds in itunes connect is it ok to do that when the new binary is already uploaded and the game is 'waiting for review'? The apple documentation is kinda vague. In the other thread it was suggested that you might have to enable them when it is in the 'Prepare for upload' stage. It seems a little strange that it allows you to still do it when it is waiting for review and the binary is uploaded if it won't actually work when the game is released.

It will be a pain to have to reject the binary and start over, but better than waiting for an update that won't work right.

Cheers for any help

Stu

    You have to do it before you upload.
    It wont be active otherwise

    damn.

    Even though they are showing in the iAd network and set as 'app not yet for sale'?

    I had an app that I set iads up on, but after I had uploaded.
    When the app was approved and for sale, it was still showing as "test ads" in the iads dashboard.

    I emailed them, and they said it HAD to be set up before you upload the binary unfortunately :o(

    ok, quick update to this.

    I decided to not reject the binaries yet and see what happened when one of them was approved. Overnight here 2 have been approved and instantly changed to live ads. So it seems that it does now work to change an app to enable iAds once it is 'waiting for review'.

    Awesome!

    I did it after upload but before review and it worked fine within 24 hours of release
