    Do you have set up iAds correctly in iTunes connect and have enabled them?
    If everything is done correctly, there is still no guaranty that iAds will be shown in your game all the time, it depends on how much ads are available for your country at the moment and how many times your app is downloaded an if it fits in the categories of the available ads and other secret apple rules

    My game was downloaded in 45 countries, in USA 30 downloads, normally if not can show banner appear impressions/request (I not remember) and after fill rate but in all in 0.
    iAd is configured in iTunes, this is the message of Apple:

    "Your iAd App Status | News
    When you submit your app, Flappy Rabbits!, for approval, it will also be reviewed by iAd for use on the App Network to determine its appropriateness for receiving ads from iAd advertisers. Once your app is approved, you will be ready to start earning revenue for ads that run in your app.

    You can easily monitor ad performance and revenue generated at any time by going to the iAd module in iTunes Connect.

    To learn more and for answers to many common questions, visit iTunes Connect Frequently Asked Questions and go to iAd App Network"

    In my last app (in Xcode I received this message also):

    "Your app, The magic ball v3: Ask to me!, is now eligible to receive ads from the iAd Network.

    To monitor your performance and ad preferences, please sign in to iTunes Connect and go to the iAd Network module.

    To learn more and for answers to many common questions, visit iTunes Connect Frequently Asked Questions and go to iAd Network."

    But in this case not, I configured ok in iTunes portal . Yellow is the banner and in this is configure as "show banner" 320x50 position bottom as tutorial. Why I not received request or impressions?

    Is your app listed in the iTunes connect iAd portal and the status is 'Live Ads'?
    If it is, everything is set up fine and you get no revenue because you have not enough downloads or user playing your game.
    30 downloads in the US is no big number and who knows how many of this guys are actually playing your games?
    Maybe they have deleted it or play it later.
    But by the way, even if your IAds are set up wrong, you will miss not much revenue.
    IAds only make sense if you have lots of thousands of downloads, if not you can be lucky earning 20 cents a week

    Yes, its as "Live Ads" but I have other app with 20 downloads to day and I have impressions and revenue, well, I wait a few days, I not think have about 200 downloads in one day and have 0 impressions/request, I think that is wrong, but ok, I can wait, and I wait that this not success in revmob and chart boost :)

    @aitor010 you do not have to thank GS for this, it is always a risk to put behaviors or functions in a game without testing them on a device.
    Do the iAds show in an adhoc you run on your friends iPhone?
    If not you have done something wrong in your code...
    Have you enabled iAds in the GS-publishing site?

    @slowcut okay,
    1-Yes in the device of my friend not show iAd banner.
    2- Enable iAd Banner

    Put in the code only put in the actor behavior show banner in bottom, something more? I see tutorials and only do this. Please help
