Does TestFlight build == AppStore release?

Hi,

I've tried to implement AdMob into my app. In simulator there's the test advert rendered correctly. In my TestFlight version live adverts are rendered for my beta testers etc. However in the AppStore version, the adverts don't render.

I was wondering if some of my compiler flags wouldn't be fired in the AppStore version, but are in TestFlight. An example is:

#if DEBUG
   adverts = false
#else
   adverts = true
#endif
  

I've checked the build phases and targets and nothing makes me think they would. But does anyone know definativley that they are the same?

Cheers,
