This guide outlines the changes needed to prepare your app for iOS 14.
Prerequisites
- Interactive Media Ads SDK 3.12.1 or higher.
Enable SKAdNetwork to track conversions
The Interactive Media Ads SDK supports conversion tracking using Apple's
SKAdNetwork,
which lets Google and participating third-party buyers attribute an app install
even when the IDFA is not available.
To enable this functionality, update the SKAdNetworkItems key with an
additional dictionary that defines
Google and participating third-party buyers’ SKAdNetworkIdentifier values
in your
Info.plist.
The snippet below includes SKAdNetworkIdentifier values for Google
(cstr6suwn9.skadnetwork) and
select additional buyers
who have provided these values to Google. Google is committed
to updating this list to include additional buyers and to working with the
industry on solutions to share SKAdNetworkIdentifier values more broadly.
Please check this page for updates.

Request App Tracking Transparency authorization
To display the App Tracking Transparency authorization request for accessing the
IDFA, update your Info.plist to add the NSUserTrackingUsageDescription key
with a custom message describing your usage. Here is an example description
text:
<key>NSUserTrackingUsageDescription</key> <string>This identifier will be used to deliver personalized ads to you.</string>
The usage description appears in the App Tracking Transparency dialog box:
To present the authorization request, call
requestTrackingAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler:.
We recommend waiting for the completion callback prior to loading ads so that if
the user grants the App Tracking Transparency permission, the Interactive Media
Ads SDK can use the IDFA in ad requests.
Swift
import AppTrackingTransparency
import AdSupport
...
func requestIDFA() {
ATTrackingManager.requestTrackingAuthorization(completionHandler: { status in
// Tracking authorization completed. Start loading ads here.
// loadAd()
})
}
Objective-C
#import <AppTrackingTransparency/AppTrackingTransparency.h>
#import <AdSupport/AdSupport.h>
...
- (void)requestIDFA {
[ATTrackingManager requestTrackingAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler:^(ATTrackingManagerAuthorizationStatus status) {
// Tracking authorization completed. Start loading ads here.
// [self loadAd];
}];
}
For more information about the possible status values, see
ATTrackingManager.AuthorizationStatus.
Disclose data usage in the App Store
Apple requires that developers publishing apps on the App Store disclose certain information regarding their apps' data use. Apple has announced that these disclosures will be required for new apps and app updates starting December 8, 2020.
