Application verification

The app verification allows to confirm the published application rights and provides authenticity and security of the uploaded data. If the app is not verified, MyTracker cannot receive SKAN postbacks for attribution on iOS 14.5+ devices and soon cannot accept data from integrated partners: clicks, impressions, campaign costs.

You can verify apps published on the App Store and Google Play. Other stores are currently under development.

Only users with the Owner or Manager role can enable or disable the application verification in MyTracker

FAQ

I want to verify an app, but MyTracker found the verified duplicate of my application. What should I do?

If you have access and edit permissions, then you can simply disable verification of the unnecessary application and verify the application you need. Remember that MyTracker will no longer receive SKAN postbacks and aggregated data from ad partners for the unnecessary application.

If you have access but no edit permissions, you can ask a colleague with the Owner or Manager role to disable verification of the duplicated application.

If you do not have access, then probably someone who has access to the Google Play Console or App Store Connect verified it. Likely it is your colleague. First, we recommend contacting your colleagues or our support team.
