does anyone know why apple hasn't sent out iad reports yet?

[n33d45p33d]

do any of you have any idea why the iad reports for october haven't come in yet? My payment is scheduled for Dec 2 and I still haven't seen my iad report.

Same here, but I did not earn much for October, so I am assuming that is why. There must be a minimum. Not sure what that min is. Anyone know?

Its not because of how much you earned. I earned a decent amount, more then in previous months, and am still waiting on my report.

Im still waiting for mine, I got about the same amount for September and October and my report for September was late like this month.

U guys have to understand that the ad business moldel is very different than direct sales. There is typically a net 60 lag bc the ad mediator (apple in this case), needs to wait for the advertisers first. So far apple has paid in net 45 which is pretty good. Remember apple isn't paid directly for ad impressions. They are paid by thbe advertisers and it takes time for that to happen. I expect all iad reports to be late relative to sales reports.

+1 to everything mightyboa said there. I don't remember, but did the iAd contract specify a maximum time for payment from end of month like the sales contract does?

Well.. my previous iAd reports came out about the same time as my other reports.

iAd Contract section 6
"... (ii) are subject to a minimum monthly remittance amount threshold (e.g. $150.00); (iii) require Developer to provide certain remittance-related information on the iTunes Connect site; and (iv) subject to the foregoing requirements, will be made no later than sixty (60) days following the end of the Billing Period. “Billing Period” is defined as the four or five week period that represents Apple’s fiscal month. ..."
Aka you have to earn 150, and Apple has to pay within 60 days of the end of that fiscal month.

Yup so apple is also net 60

I haven't received mine either nor do I have a date for my payment. iAd is my biggest income. Tell us if yours comes in.

[xry]

Yeah, I'm getting a little nervous now, because I really need the iAd-money for October in December, or else I'm pretty much screwed.

I've gotten a paydate on 2. december, so they have 3 days to send the iAd-report.

*Cross Fingers*

[n33d45p33d]

my pay date is also december 2 and still no iad report, and my iad revenue is also a big chunk of the total amount i should receive.

[tljff9]

I'm sure if Apple was going to delay iAd revenue this month they would have notified developers. Even though they have 60 days to pay, they have been doing it in 30 and I would expect Apple to stick with that timetable or let developers know if they were changing.

[n33d45p33d]

Well i guess we will find out in a couple of days.

Good news everybody!

I've been in touch with Apple, and October revenue for iAd will arrive the Dec 2th. There's an issue with iTunes Connect Reports, and will be resolved in a week or so.

Yippii!!!!
