Framework

iAd

Track and attribute app downloads that originate from Apple Search Ads campaigns.

Overview

Most of the iAd framework has been deprecated. To promote Apple Search Ads campaigns, use the Apple Search Ads UI or the Apple Search Ads Campaign Management API.

The only active portion of the iAd framework supports Apple Search Ads Attribution. Attribution data consists of user interaction with ads; for example, downloads and redownloads of apps resulting from taps on impressions from an Apple Search Ads campaign.

All Apple Search Ads data that Apple collects is subject to the Apple privacy policy.

See the iAd Network shutdown notice for details about the deprecated iAd network.
