Unpublished app till appears in App Extension

[Martin SangDo]

Hi,

1) I created 1 App extension in Adwords UI, search this app package "bbc.mobile.news.uk". It's showing 1 app with correct package name.

Problem is that app cannot search in mobile Play Store neither https://play.google.com/store/search?q=bbc.mobile.news.uk&c=apps.

I am using that url to scape apps by keywords.

2) Is there any API to search Android & iOS app like in Adwords UI?

Thanks.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I see that you have two concerns. I will address them below.

1. Could you confirm if you can't see the app using the UI? Is this an issue stemming from the UI or the API?

2. Could you provide an image of where you see this in the UI?

Thank you,
Bryan, Google Ads API Team

 I cannot find that app (exact package name bbc.mobile.news.uk) in this page: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=bbc.mobile.news.uk&c=apps

Hi Martin,

Thank you for the update. You'll find my answers to your concerns below.

1. For this concern, you may have to reach out to the Google Play Help support team to see why your app does not show up in the Google Play store.

2. This currently isn't possible in Google Ads API, so I've requested for this feature to be added. In the meantime, please follow our blog for more updates on this.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Hi,

In question 1, I want to know why that app appears in Adwords App Extension. User chose it unintentionly. It should not be shown there.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for the update. Since you're asking why the app shows up in the Google Ads UI, I suggest reaching out to the Product Support Team, as they handle issues and concerns dealing with the UI, and would be better equipped to assist you with your concern.
