iAd Network shutting down

I know there was some discussion a few months ago about this, but people were not too sure about what parts of the program where going. I got this email a little while ago:

You are receiving this email because you entered into the Developer Advertising Services Agreement (“Agreement”) to use iAd’s advertising network and related services. We would like to thank you for allowing Apple to serve ads on your mobile properties. As you may know, the iAd App Network and related advertising services will be discontinued on June 30, 2016. More details about the iAd App Network shutdown are here. Note: Any outstanding payments due from Apple will be made no later than September 30, 2016, and campaign reporting data will be available until December 31, 2016.

This email shall serve as written notice that Apple will exercise its option to terminate the Agreement, effective June 30, 2016, 11:59 pm PDT. Nothing contained in, or omitted from, this notice shall be deemed a waiver of any of Apple’s rights, remedies or defenses, all of which are expressly reserved.

so there you have it, right from Apple.

Yea I got that email too. Initially I thought they were only closing down part of it that dealt with publishers submitting ads but this new info defenitely seems like they're closing iAds down completely which is disappointing. I liked using their banner ads.

I always felt that iAds looked the best, but I guess they just didn't perform as well as the others
