Configuring an advertised app
Prepare an advertised app to participate in ad campaigns.
Overview
An advertised app is an app a user installs after viewing an ad that an ad network signs. The advertised app doesn’t require any configuration to participate in install validation. However, to register ad attributions, the app needs to call one of the methods that update conversion values when the app first launches. Those methods are: updatePostbackConversionValue(_:coarseValue:lockWindow:completionHandler:), updatePostbackConversionValue(_:coarseValue:completionHandler:), and updatePostbackConversionValue(_:completionHandler:).
Developers opt in to get copies of winning install-validation postbacks.
Configure your app to receive copies of winning install-validation postbacks
To opt in to receive copies of winning install-validation postbacks for your advertised app, add the NSAdvertisingAttributionReportEndpoint key in your app’s Info.plist file, and configure your server to receive the postbacks.
To add the key in your app’s Info.plist file:
Select
Info.plistin the Project navigator in Xcode.Click the Add button (+) beside a key in the property list editor and press Return.
Type the key name NSAdvertisingAttributionReportEndpoint.
Choose String from the pop-up menu in the Type column.
Type a valid URL in the format of
“https://example.com”that contains your domain name in place ofexample.com.
For more information about editing property lists, see Edit property lists.
The system uses the registrable part of the domain name you provide in the key, and ignores any subdomains. Using your domain name, the system generates a well-known path and sends postbacks to that URL. To receive postbacks, your domain needs to have a valid SSL certificate. Configure your server to accept HTTPS POST messages at the following well-known path:
https://example.com/.well-known/skadnetwork/report-attribution/
Replace example.com with your domain name.
