<b>app-ads.txt and the bundle-ID lookup</b>

Heard: app-ads.txt validation hinges on the developer URL in the store listing pointing to a domain that hosts the file — but the matching key is the store bundle ID, not the app name. A renamed app or migrated developer account quietly breaks the chain and zeroes authorized demand.

— Store developer URL → root domain → /app-ads.txt must align
— Bundle ID is the join key crawlers actually use

Impact: after any store-listing change, re-verify the developer URL resolves to your app-ads.txt host. (sourced)
