London, June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pixalate, the leading global platform for ad fraud protection, privacy, and compliance analytics, today released the May 2025 Top 100 Most Popular Bundle IDs for Global Open Programmatic Connected TV (CTV) Advertising.

Why is it important to see the top Bundle IDs for CTV apps?
In CTV advertising, programmatic advertisers use “Bundle IDs” to identify specific CTV apps. A lack of standardization around the syntax of Bundle IDs has led to confusion around targeting and measurement, creating a vulnerability that ad fraudsters can exploit.

Pixalate’s Bundle ID to App Store ID mapping APIs can help by consistently handling Bundle IDs, ensuring accurate tracking, measurement, and reporting.

Additionally, the IAB Tech Lab has issued guidelines for using app IDs, and OpenRTB 2.6 has offered support for Channel and Network Objects information to avoid overloading the Bundle ID field.
