I am using Admob with an app released on the Amazon App Store.

I tried to create a house ad campaign to promote another app on that store.

The direct link to call the Amazon App store is amzn://apps/android?p=mypackagename.

That protocol works on all devices that have the Amazon App Store app installed.

Using the web link http://... is not an option for me since this campaign will only be visible to users that have installed my other app through the Amazon App Store.

I have already created a website promotion for that app, but that's not the most effective way to drive downloads from the Amazon App Store.

This happens:

I can not create a banner ad due to this error: "Invalid Url format" with the destination url for the ad.

Question: 

Is this really an issue, or do I miss something. 

In case it is, is Admob aware of that issue and working on a solution or will the Amazon App Store protocol never be supported for house ads or paid ads or both?

Thanks.
