Admob not crawling app-ads.txt even after 10 days of adding developer website in store listing

1.6k Views Asked by At

I have added app-ads.txt with the help of https://www.app-ads-txt.com/ website. But even after 10 days, i don't see any update in admob dashboard (no crawler crawled yet). What might be the issue?

I had the same problem after several days of adding app-ads.txt. It worked after I updated my app in the store.

I had the same problem, steps I did to get it working:

  • add payment method
  • verify your account (setup of payment method needed, but you do not have to enter any actual payment details, such as a bank account yet)

Your apps should be verified and "Ready" after 24 hrs. However, the crawler only found my apps-ads.txt AFTER I have implemented admob banners and pushed the change into the app stores. I believe the crawler only starts "crawling" if there is actual ad traffic - but that's just a guess. Google also states somewhere, that the crawler might need up to one month to find ads-txt, if your app has low traffic.
