# AppCategoryCriteria

The defined target audience by app category.

```
object AppCategoryCriteria
```

## Discussion

The app category targeting dimension is optional and is only applicable to campaigns using a [`SupplySource`](/documentation/apple_ads/SupplySource) of `APPSTORE_PRODUCT_PAGES_BROWSE`. See the [App Store](https://developer.apple.com/app-store/categories/) for more details about categories.
