Changing the app store
You can change the store in the Boost interface without re-verifying access to the app. The app will be linked to a different store, and all ad unit settings will remain intact.
Before linking a store, make sure that the app from the new store isn't blocked and that its Bundle ID matches the Bundle ID specified in the Boost interface.
Warning
If your app is blocked in the Boost, you can't change the store and continue working with the app.
Step 1. Change the store in the app settings
-
In the Boost interface, go to Ad Monetization → Applications.
-
Open the desired app and click Ad Monetization.
-
Next to the Link to the application field with your current store, click Change the store.
-
The Changing the store window opens. In the Store drop-down list, select the store for linking the app.
-
Fill in the fields:
- App link: Add a link to the app in the selected store.
- Developer: Enter the name of the app developer as it's specified in the store. You can copy the information from your previous settings.
-
Click Save.
Step 2. Wait for moderation results (optional)
If your app hasn't passed moderation in the selected store yet, it's automatically submitted for review. Ad impressions are suspended during the moderation period. Once the app passes moderation, ad impressions will resume.
If your app already passed moderation in the selected store, the ad units become active immediately after you apply new settings, without requiring another review.
