Access the Applications tab at https://advertiser.vungle.com/applications. This is the main Applications page and it displays all the apps under your account.

In this page, you can:
- View all your apps: Sort and filter your apps list, or search for an app by name. You can filter your apps by Platform (Amazon, Android, iOS, Windows), or by Status (Active, Pending, Rejected).
- Create a new app: Click Add Application in the top right.
- Manage existing apps: Click on an app's card to review its campaigns and creatives, as discussed below.
Create an App
When you first create your account, your Applications page is empty. To create an app:
- In the Applications page, click Add Application in the top right corner.
- Indicate the app's platform. We support iOS, Android, Amazon, and Windows. Based on the platform, you will need to provide specific criteria to locate your live application in the particular store.
Figure 2. Add an application by finding your app in the app store for its platform
Note that you will not be able to change the app's platform after saving. Once you are sure, click Save Application. - For iOS, if you want to enable SKAdnetwork on campaigns for this app, SKAdnetwork must first be enabled at the app level. To enable this app for SKAdnetwork, contact your account manager. Learn more about SKAdnetwork attribution here.
You have now created an app, but it is empty: it lacks campaigns and creatives. You can add a campaign from the Campaigns page and a creative from the Creatives page, but since you've started your app, we've made it easy for you to keep going by taking you through those steps in this flow. Therefore all the subsequent screens in this flow help you define this app's first campaign by setting up its tracking, targeting, and bidding details, and then building a creative to attach to it.
Figure 3. The app creation flow; note that the SKAdNetwork step is for iOS apps only - For iOS-based apps that are SKAdnetwork-enabled (as described in the last step), define SKAdnetwork settings for your first campaign. If your app is not iOS and SKAdnetwork-enabled, this section does not display. To enable SKAdnetwork for this campaign, refer to Step 2 of our Campaigns article, where this step is described in detail.
