AdjustApple Search Ads (ASA) now included in SKAdNetwork | Adjust
Summary
Apple announced that from April 10, 2025, Apple Search Ads (now Apple Ads) will be integrated into AdAttributionKit, starting with SKAdNetwork (SKAN) versions 1-3. Previously, ASA operated independently with deterministic attribution not requiring IDFA or ATT consent. Now, installs from ASA will be reported both within SKAN and via the AdServices API, covering search results, search tab, today tab, and product pages.
This move responds to developer demand for unified measurement across ad networks. Adjust, a leading measurement partner, is fully equipped to support this integration, ensuring seamless campaign optimization for clients. The change enhances privacy-preserving attribution while giving advertisers a more comprehensive view of conversion drivers.

By diversifying revenue streams, developers mitigate risk and cater to varied user preferences. The strategy is led by hybrid casual games but extends to finance, e-commerce, and health apps.

AdjustHalloween app trends: Insights for your 2026 campaign | Adjust
Adjust's Halloween 2025 data across six weeks shows the holiday window opens well before October 31 and differs by category and market. Entertainment installs peaked the weekend before Halloween (up 42–44% vs. summer baseline), with OTT/streaming and video content installs up 120% on October 25 and 300% YoY. Photo and video sessions instead spiked on Halloween night itself (+6% global vs. the four prior Fridays; Canada +15%, Germany +13%, U.K. +11%, U.S. +9%, Mexico +7%). Single global send dates miss market-level peaks, so ad ops should time creative, push, and budget shifts per market—especially in Mexico, where activity runs through Día de los Muertos.
