(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Pixalate's data science team analyzed over 1.8 billion apps found to be delisted from the google Play Store and Apple App Store from January through September 2024 to compile this research
London, Oct. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pixalate , the market-leading fraud protection, privacy, and compliance analytics platform for Connected TV (CTV) and Mobile Advertising, today released the September 2024 Delisted Mobile Apps Report - Apple App Store and Google Play Store , analyzing apps that were found to be delisted in September 2024.
The report identifies applications that are no longer downloadable from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, according to Pixalate's data. Delisted apps do not reflect the initiator of the delisting action, i.e., Apple or Google, or the app developer. While some apps are delisted for benign reasons, others are removed as a result of more nefarious behaviors, including ad fraud, and non-compliance with privacy regulations or app store policies, which may cause advertisers to be exposed to potential financial or legal risks. Because apps can be delisted for a variety of reasons, Pixalate is neither asserting nor assigning a reason for any delisting action. Additionally, the initiator of the delisting is not generally publicly-available information, so it is often not possible to know whether the removal was triggered by the app store or the developer.
Pixalate's research focuses on app profile information and provides various insights observed in the programmatic advertising bid stream, such as the developer's country of registry, the level of app abandonment, and the number of delisted apps with advertising (an app-ads.txt file).
