We have are working with a client that is interested if there is a possibility to track in app actions in apple search ads. We obviously get installs as default. But is there a way to track in app events(like sign up etc.) and send them back to apple search ads? I have seen some articles indicating that this is possible if you use the search ads attribution API. Anyone who has any experience on this topic? ad Thanks in advance!

Hi,I have been running an app campain with search ads for 2 weeks now. Now things turned to be interesting. However today I realized that apple made my app "... not eligible for Search Ads". What the **** is this ? Does anybody here have experience with that ? How cope with it and what to do to get back into business ?Any comments are highly appreciated.ThanksChrisp.s. Yes, I have read the compliance rules for search ads and I do not violate them !

I have created a campaign group and then realized that was not what I meant — I was hoping I could add existing campaigns to a group and use this group to view only those campaigns in my dashboard. How do I go about deleting this empty campaign group and is there a way to achieve what I'd intended? TIA.

Hello, I have a free app with monthly and yearly auto-renewable subscription as well as with a Lifetime one-time purchase (non-consumable). These subscriptions are promoted on the App-Store. I understand that Search Ads Basic is currently more useful for paid Apps as we only pay for app downloads. The app revenue sells offset the campaign prices. Search Ads Basic is too expensive for my free app as the percentage of users purchasing in-app purchases is too low compared to app downloads. Search Ads Advanced is also too expensive for my app as pricing campaign is based on cost-per-tap. So I would like to know if there is a way to manage Search Ads Basic campaigns also for promoted in-app subscriptions and/or for non-consumable in-app purchases. Like for paid apps, the idea is to offset the campaign prices with in-app purchase sells. Many thanks for your help Have a good day

Is it possible to add ads to already published applications and how to do it?

I have no idea what's wrong with our custom product page. We followed what were written on the guidelines and got approved already. However, there are no custom product page available when we tried to create the campaign. Any tips or recommendation?

Hey guys, I created an app called “PicSolve”. A company pretty much cloned my app, the UI, color scheme, descriptions, marketing content, and called their app “Pic Answer”. They advertise on the keyword “PicSolve” so their app shows first on search results over mine. Does this go against apple guidelines, is there anything I can do? It’s a clear attempt at impersonation. thanks in advance

We noticed that when we call Apple iAd/AdServices for ASA attribution, they called SKAN register/update interfaces without our permission, is that true? Could we avoid Apple iAd/AdServices interfaces calling SKAN register/update interfaces? Thanks a lot if anyone could help to answer this question.

hi, since yesterday I'm getting 503 error in my process. I'm using API v3: https://api.searchads.apple.com/api/v3/search/apps?returnOwnedApps=true but my cert are not expired yet. Could you please confirm it is still ok to use API v3. API v4 is also based on domain api.searchads.apple.com and on a site which I use to check if url is up or not: https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ I'm getting response that service is unavailable so even API v4 is affected? Does anyone else is also having problems to connect to API v3 or API v4?

Does anyone know what happened to the Search Validation Tool? https://search.developer.apple.com/appsearch-validation-tool/

This might sound absurd, but my use case is following: Usually we get data for campaigns with keywords, and our data pipelines are designed for this format. However, sometimes we need to get same data for campaigns with no keywords, and here's where it goes wrong. Can we get something like NULL keyword for that case?

Every time I refresh the page, the status goes from "hold" to "no payment method" and just keeps alternating. I do have payment info set and $100 credit, and search ads are live, and in the US. Why can I not enable my ads?

Hey! 24 hours ago I launched an Advance campaign in the Apple Search Ads, but still have no stats, reports, anything....Did anyone face that? That because of Apple problems or Bids range or may be there should be a delay and usually it works like that? Help, please.

I advertised in tier 1 countries. The application has analytics integration. I got close to 100 downloads from the United States, but only 1 entry made it first open. Although I did not advertise for Iran at the time of the ad, the downloads in Iran increased tremendously. Does anyone have information? I only want to advertise to tier 1 countries.

I'm using App Search API Validation Tool to validate deep links. I see a message on this page which says "just indicate that your app is eligible for Search and iOS will create links for you". What does this mean?

Hello everyone, I started a Basic Search Ads campaign about 3 weeks ago, but $0 has been spent so far. The status has been "running" this whole time. I even put my Max CPI well over Apple's suggested price. My payment method also seems to be fine, so not sure what's going on. Has anyone else had this problem?
