iOS 14 and SKAdNetwork: 2 major ecosystem challenges right now
If you look around the mobile marketing ecosystem, everyone is suddenly in hurry-up offense mode getting ready for SKAdNetwork. Apple gave us all an eight-month grace period, but unfortunately … that may have given some industry players a lack of urgency.
