Does anyone know if iAds are supported by ipod touch 3g 8G?
The ipod touch 3g 32 gb i used for development was stolen this week (second time!) so i thought on having a lower ipod and whatever apple comes-up-with-this-week (specially if the new retina display is included).
But since I have two apps with iAds I would like to know if these are supported by the ipod touch 8gb once i update it to iOS4 (since it does not support multitasking and I'm not sure how apple is showing the Ads without interrupting the program)
If your code is backwards compatible for 3.x the ads wont show. Anyone with 4.0 will have iads. Multitasking does not have have anything to do with iads.
This is the tutorial I originally used, I actually went out and bought an 8g yesterdays.
Now, I'm not getting ads for either of my apps (they are already on the store and I used to get both test and readl ads on my previous device, (and yes, wi-fi is on). I launch the app on the simulator and everything is fine, but on device i get nada
I even have NSLogs on the didFailToReceiveAdWithError: and bannerViewDidLoadAd: so i get messages about every 30 secs when running on simulator, but on device (already updated to 4.0.2) nothing happens
I haven't changed anythin on either code since my ipod 3g 32gb was stolen. So i do think there is something going on here with the 8g

On your device you dont get any ads. They are not being served to development devices so thats why they are hidden. If you get a promo code for your app and download it that way... it should work then.
Chessin, what you say does make sense, i downloaded one of my apps once through a promo code and I was receiving Ads on that one
However, it does not explain why i don't get test ads at the moment
I do appreciate your replies

Its kind of confusing what your saying but iAds work on all devices now... no matter what model or version . THE ONLY device it does not work on YET is the iPad. If your not downloading it from the promo it will never show ads. If you did download it from the promo it will show ads ONLY WHEN THEY ARE BEING SERVED, if they are not being served at the moment it will remain hidden.
Sorry if my replies are not as clear as they should. It's Sunday / BBQ / Beer day!
What I'm trying to say is that as a developer you have two scenarios:
1.- You are developing / testing, launch on simulator, the TEST iAds show, I switch from SIMULATOR to DEVICE on Xcode and launch exactly the same code, I DO NOT get anything, not even an empty frame (which I should not anyways as I followed the tutorial you mentioned earlier and you do hide the iAd frame originally until you do receive and Ad)
I'm not getting these Ads which do not generate revenue and are just for testing purposes. I'm getting them on the simulator though.
2.- I delete the app and download through a promo code, on the device i just bought I don't see anything. On the previous one I had stolen last week I did use to see Ads (a development device, registered on the portal, but with my apps downloaded through promo codes)
Again, sorry about any confusion. My religion on Sundays is beer / BBQ and some wine thrown in

If the banner doesnt hide and just shows an empty banner with a see through view. Apple wont allow that .
Whenever you put iads in a app and put it on a device without the promo code app it WONT show no matter what. Thats how it is. The promo code should display the ads, if it doesnt theres something wrong which I do not know about.
Although the promo code app im not sure about because I have not had a app yet that has been approved.

I hope I helped
This is not true. iAds are not served to iPhone 3G running ios 4.01
I do not know about other older devices because I only asked about iPhone 3G and was given the above answer.
I'm experiencing exactly the same scenario with my iPod touch 3G 8gb. What did you eventually determine about this scenario?
