What is App-Ads.txt?
App-Ads.txt is an initiative by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) to enhance security in the digital advertising industry. This system enables app developers to declare who is authorized to sell their inventory, eliminating the risk of counterfeit inventory from unauthorized digital sellers.
There are two methods to set up app-ads.txt for your AppsGeyser application: using the provided link for app-ads.txt, or adding it manually to your website.
