Can't find my iOS app from AdMob link

[akr fjsw]

Hi.

I released my app on  May 8th on Appstore but it is not linked to Admob (I can't find the app on Admob site).

Please link  the app from the App Store to AdMob.

My app URL

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/%E8%84%B1%E5%87%BA%E3%82%B2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0-%E6%B3%A5%E6%A3%92%E3%81%A8%E8%9B%87/id6756811432

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

It has been 4 days since the app was released, but it still does not appear in the AdMob search results.

The app is currently available in the US App Store and other regions, but I have kept it "Private" (unreleased) in Japan.

The reason is that the game's "hint" feature requires ads to function properly, so I want to ensure the AdMob linking is complete before releasing it to my main audience in Japan.

Could you please clarify if the app needs to be public in the Japan App Store to be searchable on AdMob? Or should it be searchable as long as it is live in the US Store?

App Information:

• App ID: 6756811432

• URL: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6756811432

I would appreciate your further assistance in linking this app.

Hi, Thank you for your quick response.

Our app is already live on Google Play and we want to link it with AdMob but the only problem is AdMob can't find our app-ads.txt file even it's already live and accessible.

Please review it and guide me how can I debug this problem.

Thanks

The application is now able to connect to the store. Could you search with the app name or with the app ID or with the App store URL at your end and confirm whether you are able to find the app or not. For more information, kindly refer to Link your app to an app store.

Hi, thanks for the follow-up.

My app-ads.txt is accessible and correctly configured (it contains my AdMob publisher line and is hosted at the root of the developer website domain). However, my iOS app is currently not released in Japan (it’s only available in other countries/regions), and AdMob still shows “couldn’t verify the app / app-ads.txt”.

Could the verification issue be caused by the app not being available in the country/region AdMob is checking (e.g., Japan), even though the App Store listing is live elsewhere? If so, is there a recommended way to force AdMob to verify against the available storefront, or do I need to release the app in that region first?

Any guidance on how AdMob selects the App Store region for verification would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for getting back to us. 

The verification issue is likely due to your app not being available in Japan. AdMob checks the App Store region where the app is available, so if it's not in Japan, AdMob can't verify it there. To fix this, release your app in Japan. Once it’s live there, AdMob should be able to verify the app-ads.txt for that region.

Please use the following help center article to Set up an app-ads.txt file for your app and Resolve issues with app-ads.txt. 

I hope this helps, Let me know if you need additional assistance.

Thanks,
