Learn how to register a new app and edit an existing app in Moloco Ads. All registered apps must be reviewed before you can create and launch campaigns. After your app has been approved and activated, you will be able to view postback data for the app in the postback dashboard.
Register a new app
Before setting up your campaign, you must register your app using the correct app information and MMP bundle ID. If you have already registered the app you are looking to run campaign(s) for, you may skip the following steps.
-
Select your ad account from the Ad account drop-down menu on the top left corner.
-
Click Assets from the left sidebar.
-
Under the Apps tab, click Create to open the New App page.
-
From the New App page, select an option for Type, OS, and Market. For Market, choosing Other reveals another field Alternative Markets where you can specify the app store of your choice.
Important: Note that you must create separate apps by OS type (Android and iOS) even when using the same app title.
-
Search for your app using the app name, bundle ID, and/or store URL. The available option(s) varies by market type. You can also enter manually.
- In most cases, selecting your app should automatically retrieve and fill in all required information for the app. For One Store and Galaxy Store, you must enter the following information manually.
Field Description Title Enter a title for your app. We recommend using a title that is clear and easy to tell apart from other apps. You can enter up to 50 characters. Description (Optional) If you like, you can add a description in addition to the app title. You can enter up to 200 characters. Domain Ad exchanges verify each advertiser using the domain information before publishing ads to their inventories.
The value of this field is automatically populated by Moloco. If you must update the value, reach out to your Moloco representative for assistance.
In the event that there is no domain for your app, check the box next to Advertiser does not have a webpage.
Important: App domain information is required for all new and existing apps. When no app domain has been specified without proper indication, you won't be able to create new campaigns or resume any of the paused campaigns for the app.
App market URL Enter the app store URL for the app.
e.g.,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xxxxxx
(Google Play Store)https://apps.apple.com/app/idxxxxxxx
(Apple App Store)Note: For apps available in multiple countries, exclude the region or language code from the URL to avoid registering an app associated with a single region (e.g., URL containing
&hl=en
orko/app/idxxxxx
).App market bundle Enter the app ID registered in the app store. From the app market URL, you can copy over the Google Play Store ID found in the
?id=
component, and the Apple App Store ID in theid
component.
e.g.,com.molocoads
(Android) /111110100
(iOS)Category Specify an IAB category for your app. IAB category is a classification of the app category based on the IAB Tech Lab Content Taxonomy.

-
For MMP, select the MMP (Mobile Measurement Partner) you are working with.
Important: Selecting Adjust as your MMP displays Universal link host and Branded link host where you can enter the host value for your Universal and Branded links respectively. You must enter the host value to be able to successfully register Universal and Branded links.
- For MMP Bundle ID, enter the MMP Bundle ID from the MMP you are working with.
Important: Be sure that the MMP Bundle ID is accurate. We use this for receiving postback data from MMPs. For AppsFlyer, your Normal tracking link's
app_id
value must be identical to the MMP Bundle ID. - Click Create to finish app registration. Double-check the OS and MMP information as you won't be able to update these after app registration is complete.
-
Your newly created app shows up under the Apps tab. To update an existing app, click the pencil icon next to the app you would like to update.
