The validation for AppConversions will become stricter starting on November 9, 2015. If you’re using
AppConversions in v201509 or v201506 with AppPlatform: ITUNES, you’ll need to make sure that you’re using the correct AppConversionType.What was the old behavior?
When v201509 was first released, the API would not throw an error if the incorrect value was sent in a request for an iTunes
AppConversion. The API automatically converted to the correct AppConversionType. For example, if the value DOWNLOAD was passed into v201509 for an iTunes AppConversion, then that value would automatically be converted to FIRST_OPEN.What is the new behavior?
In v201509,
AppConversionType DOWNLOAD changed to FIRST_OPEN for iTunes apps. Here’s what you will need to do: - For v201506 or earlier, you must pass in
AppConversionTypeDOWNLOAD rather than FIRST_OPEN. - For v201509 or later, you must pass in FIRST_OPEN instead of DOWNLOAD.
Note: This only impacts iTunes conversions. There will be no changes to the validation for
AppConversions with an AppPlatform of ANDROID.Where can I learn more?
