Implement app-ads.txt
What is app-ads.txt?
app-ads.txt is a file hosted on the root domain of a publisher's website that links to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Publishers use this file to prove their ownership of an app that originates an ad request to Advertisers.
When an app makes an ad request, an Advertiser can check the app marketplace page for the app, find the corresponding app-ads.txt file, and verify that the publisher ID included in the ad request matches the corresponding ID in the app-ads.txt file. This prevents a malicious actor from faking ad requests from an app, because the publisher ID in their ad request will not match the publisher ID included in the app-ads.txt file.
