Set the app time zone and currency
When setting up a new app, the default time zone is set to UTC +0, and the default currency is USD.
The app default currency can only be changed once. AppsFlyer recommends making this change (if needed) when you add the app.
Time zones can be changed at any time.
To change the options:
- If you have already left the "Add Your App" page go to the App Settings page
- Select the required values from the drop-down lists.
You can only change the currency if you have recorded either cost or revenue in the app.
- Click Save.
The app is fully added to the list of apps.
Why your app could not be added?
Error: for security reasons, this app could not be added
This may happen if the app you are trying to add already exists under another account in the AppsFlyer platform.
In such a situation, contact your dedicated CSM (if you have one) or else contact hello@appsflyer.com.
Error: the app does not exist in the store
Make sure to enter the correct app name or app ID in the store URL.
Error: unable to access marketplace
This problem sometimes happens with adding a new Android app, especially with non-US countries, e.g. the UK.
To solve this issue, try the following:
- Upload the app as a pending app
- Go to the App Settings page
- Change the country to the correct country, e.g. the UK
- AppsFlyer servers then update the app information from the marketplace
