App statuses
App moderation
After the app is created, it's assigned a unique identifier (app ID) and is automatically submitted for moderation with the Pending review status. Moderation doesn't take more than two days. During this time, you can create and integrate ad units, but you get no remuneration for impressions in these units.
Once your app passes moderation, its status will change to Active.

Note
If you haven't published your app yet, it will appear in the Yandex Advertising Network interface with the status Testing once its created. After publishing the app, add a link to it in the App Store or Google Play or specify the app data from another store. After you save changes, your app will automatically be sent for moderation.
If your app fails moderation, its status will change, and you'll see the rejection reason.
App testing
App with status “Active”
To see what ads will look like in your app, enable a banner or an interstitial ad in the Yandex Mobile Ads SDK using demo Ad Unit IDs:
Your app will start running test units, but you won't be paid for these impressions.
App with status “Under moderation” or “Testing”
If the app has the Testing or Under moderation statuses, you can create ad units and immediately integrate them into the app. Test ad impressions will start, but you won't be paid for them. Real ads will start running after your app passes moderation (when its status changes to Active).
