I just downloaded the Beta sdk for admob on WP7 and after including the banner in the app(and viewing the default banner in the emulator mode) i've added the admob on-site publisher id an tried to run the app on a real device but there was no add showed (in debug and in release mode). The space is reserved (~75px of black space).
When looking in the console i see "Error - Ad Not Available (NoFill)" and on the admob site i see that there wasn't no ad request ever made. I got to the following conclusions:
1) there are no ads for my app due to windows phone's still-limited presence (but why isn't my app showing ad requests on admob site?). Also i found this on google's site :
Windows Phone 7 is new to the AdMob market, so in the short term you
may see some low fill rates until advertisers add this platform to
their targeting. Using test mode during development should eliminate
inventory as a variable in your SDK integration testing.
2)i've just created my admob ad so maybe google has a certain approval process.
Any other ideas of this problem? Has anyone else experinced it, and if so, how did they get over it?
UPDATE my app is now active on the adMob site and can see requests (122) , a fill rate(3.28%), eCPM(0), RPM(0) but the ads are still not showing. What can be the issue?

We are currently using Facebook Audience Network with AdMob mediation on our iOS app. We are using latest version for FAN(5.2.0) and Google Ads(7.41.0) from CocoaPods. The implementation is done fully done as per the documentation here - https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/mediation/facebook and tested the implementation using tools here - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/audience-network/testing however no error was found.
The issues are facing are that
1) The ad icon image is not being sent by Facebook to AdMob, we checked using direct Facebook Native ads and icons are present there but the same ad data shows icon as 'nil' when passed through mediation
2) We are seeing gray ad choices icons(as attached) however upon clicking the icon the app crashes with stack trace in FB library(stack trace attached).
Can any once advise on how we can get rid of these issues?
Just set adOptionsView.nativeAd = nativeAd
I am making app of Xamarin UWP (Universal Windows Platform) and use Microsoft Advertising for mobile. For this I am using Link https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/uwp/monetize/adcontrol-in-xaml-and--net
All thing is well, but problem is that when i am using their Test ApplicationId and AdUnitId, the ad will show and i use new created ApplicationId and AdUnitId then error is show- AdControl error: No ad available in developing mode. Please guide me..
Your apps have been published in the store or not, usually real Application Id and Ad unit Id value should apply from the published apps and it takes 1-2 days after that for ads from real units to start serving. So I would like to suggest you use test value when you create your project, you just need to replace test value with real values when you package your project and submit in the store.
The fill rate is very low for Windows ads, so it's not a problem with your code. Also, you won't see ads in developing mode, so you have to release your app in order to see the ads.
We have developed a Google Apps Marketplace app and recently received reports from our users, that the App Launcher ("grid") wouldn't show our app's icon anymore.
This is a screenshot how it looks for my personal Google Apps account when I'm on www.google.com:
And this is a screenshot from my account when I'm on admin.google.com/AdminHome:
As you can see, only when I'm on the Google Apps account page, I can see icons of Marketplace apps. But it used to show up anywhere, also on www.google.com.
So Google must have changed something. The question is: can we get it back to the old behaviour?
PS: I know that it's just a link and one could simply bookmark it, but some of our customers are not really 'tech-savvy' and believe our app is 'gone completely' now. This is causing confusion everywhere.
This is a simple questions:
I've developed my first app for windows phone 7 (Mango). I have created a new release in the marketplace for beta test.
I have received one confirm email about this process. All is ok. But now, in this email, there is a Url like this:
zune://navigate/?appid=46546c45-7b41-11ae-b78e-268334559f0ac
In theory, I have to send this url to beta testing people of my list. But Where I or they have to write this url for download the app?
In zune? In the marketplace? I don't know what I have to do with this url....
Thanks guys,
JPe
When you submitted the app for beta testing, you needed to specify the live ids of some testers. This link (zune://) can be used to install the application through Zune. You need to send this link to those testers whose live ids you entered there. Just paste the link in any browser and it will open with Zune.
The link will not work for anyone else, but for the specified live ids.
If your live id is not in the beta tester live ids list, I am not sure that you can test the app with your live id. I'd suggest to add your live id to the list.
And by the way, you cannot access a beta app through the Marketplace, the only way is through Zune with the given link.
I hope it will work for you.
I have found in most cases the beta links only work when opened from a Windows 7 device, opening the link on a PC through Zune either gets a "app not available" or "app not available for your country".
There doesn't seem to be any setting in the marketplace to get around this so it may be by design.
No word yet on if this is fixed with the web marketplace but I doubt it since the Beta apps only give a Zune link
We have a mobile version of our web site which works well on all mobile screen resolutions and sizes. Now, we would like to build a very simple app for Blackberry and Windows Phone 7. The app would be trivial - after you click on its icon, it opens a web browser and send you to our mobile web site. Just like a Windows OS shortcut that you place on your desktop.
Can you tell me if Blackberry and Windows Phone 7 policies allow such app be published? For example, Apple rejected us.
I can't speak for Blackberry, but Requirement 2.10 from the WP7 Application Certification Requirements:
Your application must have distinct,
substantial and legitimate content and
purpose other than merely launching a webpage.
So the answer seems to be no on the WP7 marketplace. Is there a reason you want to create an app like that anyway? On WP7, users can pin a tile to their home screen that will launch the website they've pinned. You could simply encourage users to do that on their WP7 and you'll get the same effect (except your site won't appear in the app list).
Seems this is okay for BlackBerry. See section 4.b of the App World FAQ.
Very strange. Our company has placed a similar application on Android Market and the Appstore and they have been resolved and now they available at stores. Also, I had a similar application for Windovs Phone, and it was also allowed.
P.S. Our application is not just a browser window, it has custom control panel in bottom. Also it has the communication protocol with the site - such a sending pictures from camera and phone and access to phone contacts.
