Rule reference

AppLovin SKAdNetwork itunesitem must match advertised bid.bundle.

openrtb.profile.applovin.skadn_mismatcherrorBid response

AppLovin SKAdNetwork itunesitem must match advertised bid.bundle.

What it means

AppLovin SKAdNetwork itunesitem must match advertised bid.bundle. This check applies to the selected vendor contract and integration direction.

Why it matters

The declared profile checks the published partner contract alongside canonical OpenRTB. It does not verify runtime approval or account configuration.

How to fix it

Use an option offered by the matching request. Check the request and response together at the reported path.

Check your payload

Paste a bid request or response into the tester to see whether this code fires against it, or gate on the id in CI with the CLI: the id is stable, wording is not.
