What it does

Set up iOS/Android attribution to measure paid campaign ROI with iOS 14.5+ privacy

Best for

Mobile teams with paid acquisition (ASA/Meta/TikTok) who need privacy-preserving attribution under iOS 14.5+ SKAdNetwork constraints.

Inputs
  • · MMP choice (AppsFlyer/Adjust/Singular/Branch)
  • · paid channels (ASA/Meta/TikTok/Google UAC)
  • · revenue model (one-time purchase vs subscription)
Outputs
  • · SKAN 4.0 conversion value schema (6-bit fine or 2-bit coarse)
  • · per-MMP setup checklist (AppsFlyer/Adjust/Singular)
  • · postback window strategy (3 windows)
  • · deep-link handling guide
Requires
  • · AppsFlyer or Adjust or Singular SDK
  • · SKAN 4.0 (Apple)
  • · AdAttributionKit (iOS 17.4+)
  • · Apple Search Ads API (for ASA only)
Preconditions
  • · MMP integrated into app
  • · purchase and trial events instrumented
Failure modes
  • · bad CV schema (coarse-only instead of fine window 1)
  • · no window 2/3 strategy (missing trial→paid, retention signals)
  • · IDFA-only reliance without SKAN fallback (iOS 14.5+)
  • · missing AdAttributionKit (iOS 17.4+ requirement)
  • · CV not monotonic or doesn't encode LTV signal
Trust signals
  • · SKAN 4.0 essentials table (postback/conversion value/windows/threshold/source ID)
  • · CV schema examples for subscription + non-subscription apps
  • · MMP-specific checklists (AppsFlyer + Adjust + Singular with 10+ items each)
  • · 3-window postback strategy with event examples
  • · ATT + IDFA + SKAN comparison table
