FAQs

Does Branch support SKAN postbacks for ASA?

Yes. Using Apple Ads with SKAN helps you better understand how users discover and download your iOS app through Apple’s advertising platform.

How do I enable Apple Ads reporting in Branch?

Apple Ads attribution works automatically with the Branch SDK. To unlock full reporting—like cost, impressions, and SKAN data—simply upload your Apple Ads API certificate in the Branch dashboard and enable SKAN direct postbacks.

Will Branch double-count installs from Apple Ads and SKAN?

No. Branch intelligently deduplicates installs reported by Apple Ads and SKAdNetwork. If both sources report the same install, Branch uses SKAN postbacks as the source of truth and attributes the install to SKAN.

Which Apple Ads metrics are shown in Branch dashboards?

Branch displays impressions, taps (clicks), installs, cost, and SKAN conversions from Apple Ads. These metrics are unified and accessible across the Campaigns, Ads, and SKAN tabs in the Branch dashboard.
