How to integrate Apple Search Ads (ASA) with Tenjin
Apple's attribution data is collected through the Tenjin SDK on the developer's app and sent back to the Tenjin server for last click analysis.
- Install the Tenjin SDK to do attribution through Apple Search Ads. Please be sure to upgrade to v1.12.6+ and add the
AdServices.framework
library. This library is only available in iOS 14.3+. - Tenjin automatically attributes the user to Apple based on its attribution logic.
Apple Search Ads setup does not require any callbacks. You only need to add your Apple Search Ads account to Tenjin and completed the SDK integration as suggested above.
Currently Apple Search Ads allows Spend and Reported data via their Reporting API only for Advanced Search Campaigns. You can learn more about Basic vs Advanced Search campaigns here.
