That's because you cannot create new application and adunit in PubCenter for now. PubCenter has been integrated into Windows Dev Center.
Note: You will no longer be able to create ad units or new app promotion campaigns in pubCenter. For information on how to create ad units in Dev Center, see Monetize with ads. For information on how to create app promotion campaigns in Dev Center, see Create an ad campaign for your app.
Please see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/mt186437.aspx for details
I think the process evolved and you should follow this guide : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt313186(v=msads.30).aspx

I am trying to use AdMob Interstitial Ads in my application in Windows Phone 8.
The version of "GoogleAds.dll" I am using is: "6.5.13.0".
Everything is working fine as per the samples provided by AdMob.
I just had one query regarding the "DismissingOverLay" callback provided by the Interstitial Ad. It says that it is provided "After the interstitial/overlay is dismissed."
But in my case I am getting it in the following scenarios -
1.) When I dismiss the Ad by clicking the close image or hardware back key.(This is fine.)
2.) When the Ad is clicked and external browser is open and when the external browser is closed. (once when control leaves the app and once when it comes back.)
3.) When the hardware lock button is pressed. (in this case I get the dismissed callback but when I unlock the screen, I can still find the ad, not being dismissed.)
Why I just need a clarification on this because I am trying to run some custom code when the Ad is actually dismissed, but as I am getting these callbacks at various points I am unable to find out when to accept these callbacks and when to reject?
Did I have to do something special when i submitted the app to the app store? I noticed there was an optional section for adding a pubCenter ad but I didn't fill it in, however i created the ad in pubCenter and included the Ad control and entered the correct Ad ID to the control
Ads are not showing up.
When debugging I had to use default values ( was using the actual application ID and adunit ID which is wrong)
ApplicationId="test_client"
AdUnitId="Image320_50"
Furthermore I have to enable these capabilities in order for the ads to show up, after I enable them they worked !
Required Manifest Capabilities
Apps Targeting Windows Phone 8.0
The following ID_CAP capabilities must be included in the manifest of the advertising-enabled app.
•ID_CAP_IDENTITY_USER
•ID_CAP_MEDIALIB_PHOTO
•ID_CAP_NETWORKING
•ID_CAP_PHONEDIALER
•ID_CAP_WEBBROWSERCOMPONENT
I'm checking out ads in a Windows Phone app for the first time.
When I tried with the test settings, the test app showed up.
When I replace the info by the applicationID and AdUnitId from PubCenter,
nothing at all appeared (when debugging on a device).
I suscribed to the erroroccured event:
private void AdControlInBorder_ErrorOccurred(object sender, Microsoft.Advertising.AdErrorEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Error.Message.ToString());
}
And I get: "No ad available". This is about a second after the app started up.
Extra info: I'm in Belgium, checked it with the phone plugged to pc, unplugged,
I'm on wifi and I have internet available.
AdDUplex is just for promote your app not for gain money :) In your case, you can't have ads in debug mode. Send your app in beta test and look if ads is available. Pub center have the best fill rate in wp8 platform. But you need to choice your app usage. If you app is a type like rss flow or news you need ads because you will have a lot of users connected for a long time and frequently. If you app is a productivity app, you will add in app purchase or send your app like a paid app or donation. Don't forget if you add ads, the possibility to remove.
I am submitting an app in Windows Phone Dev Center now and encounter a very hard-to-explain problem, so please be patient and allow me to explain it in details.
Step 1, I finished filling infomation in App info and then am trying to Add in-app advertising.
Setp 2. I clicked "Add in-app advertising"
In side this page, I have input a name for "Ad unit name" so I did it and clicked "Generate ad unit ID"
Step 3. I logged into my pubCenter and opened the "Overview" tab under "Steup" tab, I can see the App name under Applications section, but there is no Ad unit under the "Mobile application ad units" (oh yes, I'm submitting an WP8 app)
After hours and hours research and thinking, I found the problem which is in the Windows Phone Dev Center, here it is:
Open the "Account Summary" page, I saw the section "Ad network"
Inside this section, I saw this:
Ad network
pubCenter account number
X000YJBK
Edit payment and tax info for ad-funded apps through pubCenter.
The pubCenter account number X000YJBK is not my account number in pubCenter, instead it is a general account number for people who are learning how to publish an app.
But there is no way to change the associated pubCenter account number under Windows Phone Dev Center.
I do notice that the "Edit" is a link, but when I clicked it, it redirects me to the pubCenter page and leaves me with confusion and have no idea what to do in order to change the linked account number. (The statements followed "Edit" link doesn't say to change the linked account any way).
So my question is how to change the associated pubCenter account number for the Ad network in Windows Phone Dev Center.
Finally, I got help from Microsoft team and they are good people :)
Here is what the staff replied:
Yes that App ID and Ad Unit ID deals with your account only. As for
creating these App ID's and Ad Unit Id's in PubCenter. Always do that.
Never from now on make the Ad units from Development center. This
option will be going away, and it is a good thing. Ad units from
Development center, is very unreliable to get Ad's. Also you do not
have the option to get correct reporting and you do not have the
option to edit the categories of your Ad Unit ID like in PubCenter.
PubCenter even though it seems to be just a bit out of what you are
wanting it to be, is all good to go for you. I am so glad that that it
is.
So let me make a summary:
It is okay that if you cannot change the associated Ad. Network account from Windows Phone Dev Center as this section (the Ad. Network inside your "Account Summary" page is going to be removed anyway)
The only thing matters is to always create your Application ID and Ad. Unit ID INSIDE the pubCenter
Do not be worried about it, you will receive money(according to their replies) as long as the Application ID and Ad Unit ID you use in your mobile app have linked to your bank account inside the pubCenter.
Okay, that's all for people who have the same problem and I am sure now you will feel released :)
Cheers
Initially I was able to install on my lumia 620 apps made using app studio.
Now I'm getting the following error.
"We haven’t been able to contact the Microsoft Corporation company account to make sure you can install this app. Make sure you’re connected to a mobile or WiFi network, and we’ll try again as soon as we can.
Unfortunately, it may take a couple of days before we can make that connection. If you continue to have trouble contact your company’s support person for help."
I'm in India and I'm using the same live account I used earlier.
Take a look at this : How do I get my app on my Windows Phone device?
It explains in details all the steps you need to do.
For Windows Phone 8.1
As well as various 3rd party QR Code readers you can use, you can also use Bing vision by doing the following. Open your camera on your Windows phone. Press the “Lenses” button Search icon( Sometimes the lenses button won’t be bound to your screen, you can do this by pressing the three dots and adding it to your bindings ) From here, a new menu will appear with various lenses listed. Choose Bing Vision.
Remember that by clicking “install” you download the app. By clicking Tap to open, you add the company certificate. It pushes you back to “Install company app” at that point, but you do not have to do it a second time. At this point, go to your app menu and you will see your app. Point the phone’s camera at the QR code that opens with the certificate link, and the phone will automatically scan it. Click “add” and the certificate is successfully installed once it returns to the original Install the certificate page.
...... CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS FULLY. PLEASE EXPLAIN
