[iPhone] adWhirl/iAd working solution

[shoaz]

Did you make sure to change your publisherid in the AdWhirlAI module

Yes, the variable this.sSDKKey () is defined with the App Key provided by AdWhirl.

your product id in the xcode project (com.somebody.productname)?

and, yes, the identifier property of the AdWhirl target is defined with App ID provided by Apple.

[shoaz]

you mentioned in the ReadMe : "This project uses OS4!!"
It's about iOS SDK 4 or iOS 4 (in my device) or both?

(I want to be sure before installing iOS 4 in my little tiny 3G...)

[dpharaoh]

Yes of course, iAd only works on OS4

[shoaz]

ok, it works!
with the iphone simulator 4, doesn't work, but pushed in an iOS 4 device after a building in release, no problem.

working config details :
OSX 10.6.3
XCode 3.2.4 with iOS SDK 4.1
iPhone 3G with iOS 4.1

thanks for your contribution

Hi,

I got it working for Admob ads but iAds wont show up... Its all set it just wont show anything, not even the "test ad".


I dont know what iam missing. Also i get the iAds test ad if create a simple iphone project, but only on the simulator. On the device i get a crash with no specific error.


Any ideas?


Thanks in advance


(i have the latest Xcode and iOS)

Your application needs to be setup for iAds as well, this is done in itunesconnect.

[RT3d]

How do i do that for test apps?

[dpharaoh]

Need to go a few steps into the app submission process, don't submit a binary

[RT3d]

No luck.. I made a new app with the same app ID used for testing (the same profile)
I also updated the App ID on the adWhirl site, admob shows, but not iAds
Still not working.

I wonder what could it be

[dpharaoh]

Just go through and check all the xcode app ids, etc. I've never had an issue with it

[RT3d]

Hi,

I tested everything, i am pretty sure the problem is NOT with your sample or adWhirl.

Any one knows if iAd test ad works outside the US on a device?

I build a simple app on xcode (not with shiva) and i can get the test ad on the simulator but it wont show on the device.

Its weird i just noticed that i don't get iads on apps from the app store.

[shoaz]

Any one knows if iAd test ad works outside the US on a device?

Yes, just have to wait 10 or 15 seconds and Test Ad appears in my 3G device (with the dpharaoh sample). And I'm in France.

[RT3d]

nothing on mine... weird

[RT3d]

I tried a lot of stuff.

Also did a new App id, added the app to Itunes etc.



Anyway, i tried a simple Xcode App to test the iAds and not even that shows up in the device. I checked the id's/profiles etc and it all checks out.

I also tried with Push notifications active and it still wont work.


Btw- Using the latest engine beta, could this be a problem?

[Markuzzzz]

Now that I got everything running, how do I change the orientation to horizontal instead of vertical ads..

Anybody?
