Why is it important to see the top Bundle IDs for CTV apps?

In Connected TV (CTV) advertising, a “Bundle ID” is a string of characters that advertisers and ad platforms use to identify specific CTV apps. However, there is no standardization around the syntax of Bundle IDs, which has created confusion around targeting and measurement.

In general, a 1:1 ratio for Bundle IDs to apps fosters transparency in the CTV ecosystem, signaling the adoption of more unique Bundle IDs and App Store IDs (ASIDs).

Ad fraudsters are exploiting this vulnerability in the programmatic ad supply chain. Check out Pixalate's Q2 2023 CTV Bundle ID Mapping Report for more data about the problem.
