The Adobe SDK leverages Apple’s Search Ads App Attribution APIs to enable developers and marketers to track and attribute app downloads that originate from Search Ads campaigns in the Apple App Store. For more information about Search Ad campaigns, see Apple Search Ads.
Here are some benefits to using Apple ads:
To implement Apple Ads, you must have iOS SDK version 4.13.2 or later.
To enable your app for Search Ad attribution:

For more information, see Core implementation and lifecycle.
Add the iAd framework to the Xcode project file for your app.
Apple Search Ads attribution data is provided in the acquisition name, the source, and the term values.
If attribution = true
, all of the iad-*
fields will be included in the lifecycle hit.
In addition, the following values will be mapped from the "iad"
dictionary to our typical acquisition context data fields:
"iad-campaign-id"
--> "a.referrer.campaign.trackingcode"
"iad-campaign-name"
--> "a.referrer.campaign.name"
"iad-adgroup-id"
--> "a.referrer.campaign.content"
"iad-keyword"
--> "a.referrer.campaign.term"
This mapping ensures that the values are available in our standard reporting.
