Apps & Storefronts

Cortex organizes mobile assets into Tracked Applications. Each application supports cross-store mapping between Apple App Store (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS) and Google Play Store (Android).

Store Identifiers

When registering or querying an application through the Cortex API, use either of the native store identifiers:

  • Apple App Store: Numeric Adam ID (e.g., 284882215 for Facebook, 6444602674 for Threads) or Bundle Identifier (com.example.app).
  • Google Play: Package Name (e.g., com.facebook.katana, com.instagram.barcelona).
{
  "appId": "6444602674",
  "bundleId": "com.burbn.threads",
  "platform": "ios",
  "name": "Threads, an Instagram app",
  "developer": "Instagram, Inc.",
  "storefronts": ["US", "GB", "DE", "JP", "BR"]
}

Metadata Snapshotting

  • Primary & secondary category switches

  • Screenshot and app icon revisions
