SKAdNetwork is a framework provided by Apple to enable privacy-friendly measurement of app install ad campaigns on iOS. SKAdNetwork 4.0 is the newest version of the framework, which differs from SKAdNetwork 3.0 in several important details.

Use this guide to implement SKAdNetwork 4.0 as part of your Singular S2S integration.

Learn about SKAdNetwork 4.0 in the SKAN 4.0 FAQ.
For more background about SKAdNetwork, see the SKAdNetwork 3.0 S2S Implementation Guide.

SKAdNetwork 4.0 S2S Implementation

Singular's SKAdNetwork solution consists of the following components:

Client-side code to implement SKAdNetwork
Postback validation and aggregation from all networks
Fraud protection:
- Signature validation and transaction ID deduping.
- Secure setup with networks to verify parameters that are not signed (conversion value and geodata).
Conversion value management: provides the ability to configure dynamically on Singular's dashboard which post-install activity should be encoded into the SKAdNetwork conversion value.
Reporting: Translating the limited SKAdNetwork campaign ID and enriching the data with more marketing params and granularities
Partner postbacks: It provides sending SKAdNetwork postbacks with a decoded conversion value into events and revenue, which is critical for their optimization.

For customers using a server-to-server (S2S) Singular integration, SKAdNetwork implementation consists of two main parts:

SKAdNetwork client-side implementation: This part is critical for registering your apps to SKAdNetwork and managing the SKAdNetwork conversion value intelligently. This means that by implementing it, you will be able to optimize your campaigns based on SKAdNetwork attributions and their associated post-install activities.
S2S integration update: This part is important for validating and troubleshooting the client-side implementation. By enriching events and sessions sent to Singular today over Singular's S2S session and event endpoints with SKAdNetwork data (conversion values and update timestamps), Singular can validate that the implementation was done properly on your app side.

SKAdNetwork Client-Side Implementation

Singular provides code samples that support registering for SKAdNetwork and managing the conversion value. These code samples are responsible for the following parts:

SKAdnetwork support and registration
Conversion value management:
- The code communicates synchronously with Singular's endpoint to receive the next conversion value based on the configured conversion model. It reports events/sessions/revenue and, in response, gets the next conversion value, which is an encoded number that represents the post-install activity that was configured for measurement in Singular's dashboard.
- The code also collects SKAdnetwork metadata by measurement period. The metadata is used for both validation and the next conversion value calculation:
  - The first call timestamp to the underlying SKAdNetwork framework
  - The last call timestamp to the underlying SKAdNetwork framework
  - The last updated postbacks value ( both Coarse and Fine)
  - Total Revenue and Admon Revenue generated by the user

S2S Integration Update

Mandatory

Once you have an active conversion model, our S2S endpoints will start returning a new int field named "conversion_value", which will contain the next value to update in the client-side code.

Recommended

To validate the integration and support additional insights, we recommend using our code samples to extend your current S2S integration. Singular's S2S event and session endpoints already support getting additional SKAdNetwork params such as:

P0,P1,P2 conversion values fine and coarse
P0,P1,P2 previous conversion values fine and coarse
Last timestamp of a call to the underlying SKAdNetwork framework
First timestamp of a call to the underlying SKAdNetwork framework
Aggregated Revenue per window measurement period (P0, P1, P2)

Integration Flow

Screen_Shot_2020-09-16_at_18.59.13.png

The diagram above illustrates the SKAdNetwork flow for an S2S customer:

First, the code in the app communicates with a Singular server (through a dedicated endpoint for SKAdNetwork) to get the latest conversion value synchronously based on events/sessions/revenue events that happen in the app and update the SKAdNetwork framework with this value.
Second, the app enriches existing events and sessions with SKAdNetwork data, which will be later used for validations.
Once the app finishes updating the SKAdNetwork framework with new conversion values and the SKAdNetwork timer expires, the SKAdNetwork postback will be sent to the network.
The network will forward it to Singular (either via the secure setup or regular setup).
Singular will process the postback by:
- Validating its signature
- Decoding the conversion value based on the configured conversion model
- Enriching the postback with network information. The data is collected from integrations with partners by joining the SKAdNetwork and Network campaign ID.
- Sending the decoded postbacks to BI and partners

An important note is that SKAdNetwork information, including installs and decoded events, will be accessible via a different set of reports/APIs/ETL tables and postbacks to avoid mixing it with your existing data sets. This is especially important during the following weeks to let you measure and test SKAdNetwork side by side with your existing campaign effort.

SKAdNetwork Native iOS Code Samples

SKAdNetwork Interface

This interface includes the following SKAdNetwork components:

Registering for SKAdNetwork

This method is responsible for calling SKAdNetwork for the first time.
It sets the Conversion value for P0 to be 0
The underlying Apple API method generates a notification if the device has attribution data for that app.

Conversion Value Management

The conversion value is calculated based on the post-install activity of a device that is captured by the methods below and a selected conversion model that can be configured dynamically by the user.
The methods in this section are responsible for pulling the next conversion value from Singular's endpoint according to the selected conversion model and the reported post-install activity (see documentation above).
The methods below update the conversion value based on the following post-install activities:
- Session: critical for retention measurement of a user with SKAdNetwork
- Conversion Event: critical for post-install conversion event measurement with SKAdNetwork
- Revenue Event: Critical for revenue measurement with SKAdNetwork

S2S Integration Update (Recommended)

Update your S2S integration with the following SKAdNetwork metadata (this metadata should be forwarded on every session & event reported to Singular for SKAdNetwork implementation validation):

skan_current_conversion_value: The latest fine conversion value
prev_fine_value: The previous fine conversion value
skan_first_call_to_skadnetwork_timestamp: Unix timestamp of the first call to the underlying SkAdNetwork API
skan_last_call_to_skadnetwork_timestamp: Unix timestamp of the latest call to the underlying SkAdNetwork API
p0/1/2_coarse: The latest coarse values per window
p0/1/2_prev_coarse_value: The previous coarse values per window
p0/1/2_window_lock: Unix timestamp of the last update with window lock per window
p0/1/2_total_iap_revenue: Total of non Ad monetization revenue per window
p0/1/2_total_admon_revenue: Total of Ad monetization revenue per window
skan_total_revenue_by_currency: Total of non Ad monetization revenue
skan_total_admon_revenue_by_currency: Total of Ad monetization revenue

The following function shows how to extract these values:

NSDictionary *values = [SKANSnippet getSkanDetails];

Now once you send these parameters to your server side, you can forward these via our server-to-server API endpoints. To learn more, search these parameters in our server-to-server API reference.

App Lifecycle Flow Example

// Only On app first launch
[SKANSnippet registerAppForAdNetworkAttribution];
NSDictionary *skanValues = [SKANSnippet getSkanDetails];
[self sendSessionToServer:skanValues] //to Singular launch EP 

// After each session is handled
[SKANSnippet updateConversionValueAsync:handler];
NSDictionary *skanValues = [SKANSnippet getSkanDetails];
[self sendSessionToServer:skanValues] //to Singular launch EP

// After handling non-revenue events
[SKANSnippet updateConversionValueAsync:@"event_name" 
  withCompletionHandler:handler];
NSDictionary *skanValues = [SKANSnippet getSkanDetails];
[self sendEventToServer:skanValues eventName:@"event_name"] //to Singular evt EP

// After handling revenue events
[SKANSnippet updateRevenue:15.53 andCurrency:@"KRW"];
[SKANSnippet updateConversionValueAsync:@"revenue_event_name" withCompletionHandler:handler];
NSDictionary *skanValues = [SKANSnippet getSkanDetails];
[self sendEventToServer:skanValues eventName:@"revenue_event_name"] //to Singular evt EP
