Don't think iAds are working on any iPhone. Very frustrating. Think I might try and get ChartBoost working instead.

Or

I might even ditch IOS dev and go over to Android...

I don't think the category would matter as the iAds show on the iPad using exactly the same build/setup etc
I'm completely at a loss over this now

Thanks for the reply Anders.

Anybody with an iPhone please can you test my app and see...

OK, some further checks.

Not sure what the differences between our two apps are then.
Mine is in Landscape mode on both the iPhone and iPad. Maybe the iPhone version doesn't like the ads being in landscape mode?
Definitely...

No problem at all.

Just tested for you on both iPhone and iPad and your ads are showing on both :)

Update: iAds now working on iPad version. Think it takes a good few days to become activated. Still don't work on the iPhone version though

Maybe its time to try and implement ChartBoost.

Thanks to everyone - I finally got it working :)

The quote method was the way to do it. A few adjustments to where the quotes where and the amount, sorted the problem out.
