app-ads.txt

As an extension of its Authorized Digital Sellers (ads.txt) specification, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) provides the Authorized Sellers for Apps (app-ads.txt) specification that defines how app publishers should list their authorized monetization partners. Using this file, buyers can confidently identify authorized sellers and prevent app domain spoofing and unauthorized selling of in-app inventory.

To implement app-ads.txt for fraud prevention, complete the following tasks:

  • Add DT to your app-ads.txt file. This authorizes DT as a direct seller. For more information, see Adding DT to Your app-ads.txt File.

  • Add the app-ads.txt file to the root of your developer or marketing website. For more information, see Place Your app-ads.txt File.

  • Add your website URL to your app store listing. Buyers only search the listed sites for app-ads.txt files. For more information, see Adding a Developer Website.

To list DT in your app-ads.txt file:

  1. Create your app-ads.txt file according to the IAB specification for ads.txt.

  2. Add DT as a direct seller in your app-ads.txt file by copying the following record into your app-ads.txt file and entering your DT Publisher ID where indicated. For more information, see Locating Your DT Publisher ID.

Beware of unknown companies reaching out directly and requesting to be added to your app-ads.txt file. This may be fraud. DT strongly advises that you only list your direct partners and their official resellers.

If you suspect a company is fraudulently contacting you, contact your DT Representative.

Place Your app-ads.txt File

When placing your app-ads.txt file on your domain, ensure that the location meets the following criteria:

  • Either the root of your domain (fungames.com/app-ads.txt) or no more than one subdomain below the root (my.fungames.com/app-ads.txt).

  • If you place the file in a subdomain, do not place it in either the www. or m. subdomains.

Adding a Developer Website

List your developer website URL in all app stores where you offer your app so that advertising platforms can locate your app-ads.txt file. The following sections provide guidance in entering a website URL for your app listing.

Apple App Store

The App Store provides your Developer URL as part of the app listing.

To update or add a developer website to your App Store listing:

  1. Log in to App Store Connect and locate your app and version.

  2. In the Marketing URL field, enter the URL for the domain where you placed your app-ads.txt file.

Google Play

The Google Play Store lists your developer URL in the App Support section of your app store listing.

To specify your developer website for Google Play:

  1. Log in to the Google Play Console and go to Store presence→Store settings.

  1. Click Edit and enter the URL for the domain where you placed your app-ads.txt file.
