Apple Fixes A Major SKAdNetwork Bug – But Implementing It Still Won’t Be Easy

Mobile ad networks have been busily stress testing SKAdNetwork in preparation for Apple’s IDFA changes – but they've been doing so with one arm tied behind their back. For months, two of the most crucial pieces of information necessary for attribution were absent in the postbacks coming from SKAdNetwork, which is Apple’s API for enabling ad... Continue reading »

Apple’s Policy Is Clear: Email Is Not Gonna Take The Place Of IDFA

The ad industry is partially pinning its hopes on email as legacy identifiers get knocked off one by one. But hashed IDs, including emails and phone numbers, collected elsewhere cannot be used as a replacement for app tracking on iOS 14. That’s true whether or not the hashed identifiers were collected with consent. In its... Continue reading »

Starting in Q2 2021, bidding will be the only way to buy ads in iOS apps through Facebook’s Audience Network. Goodbye waterfalls.
Facebook Accelerates Plans To Go Bidding Only For Audience Network Due To Coming IDFA Changes

Starting in Q2 2021, bidding will be the only way to buy ads in iOS apps through Facebook’s Audience Network. At that point, waterfall-based buying will no longer be supported. Facebook says the goal had always been to become a bidding-only demand source ever since in-app bidding first launched in Audience Network in 2017. But... Continue reading »

Although most retail marketers say they generate hardly any app installs from their affiliate programs, the reality is quite different, according to Button.
Why Retailers Need To Pay More Attention To Affiliate App Marketing

Affiliate marketers are largely overlooking what could be one of their best-performing channels: apps. Although most retail marketers say they generate hardly any app installs from their affiliate programs, the reality is quite different, said Mike Jaconi, CEO and co-founder of mobile commerce marketing company Button.

Facebook Will Continue Collecting The IDFA Following Apple’s Delay Announcement

In light of Apple’s decision to delay enforcement of its opt-in feature in iOS 14, Facebook will keep on collecting the IDFA – for now at least. Facebook had planned to stop gathering the IDFA for iOS 14 devices across its own apps and via third-party apps through the Audience Network. But “given Apple’s delayed implementation...

Will Apple’s Deadline Extension Change How Developers Get Ready For IDFA Changes In IOS 14?

The developer community welcomed Apple’s recent move to delay the rollout of its IDFA changes in iOS 14 until “early next year.” But that delay only adds a few months onto the deadline. Early next year is sooner than it sounds. And there’s still a lot of prep work that developers and their partners need... Continue reading »

Why Apple’s SKAdNetwork Could Spur Ad Fraud In IOS 14

SKAdNetwork is Apple’s homegrown solution for attribution. Apple itself verifies when clicks lead to installs and shares that information directly with ad networks through an encrypted postback and without the need to pass an IDFA. That should make app marketing in iOS 14 pretty much impervious to fraud … right? Well, yes and no. It... Continue reading »
