Onboarding Step 2: Connect App Store
Search for your iOS and/or Android app by name or bundle ID.
Reached if you picked App Store listing in step 1.
Flow
- Click App Store or Google Play to open a search modal.
- Search by name or paste a bundle ID (e.g.
com.acme.app) / App Store ID. - Pick the matched listing. It appears in the connected apps list.
- Optionally add the other platform. When you're ready, click Continue.
What Layers uses
Public listing metadata for the app you picked (name, description, icon, screenshots, category). The server-side analyzer runs on the next screen (Confirm details) and populates the brand brief.
Layers does not request App Store Connect / Play Console developer access during onboarding.
Connecting iOS + Android together
Add one of each in the same step before clicking Continue. Both become entries on Project settings → Apps.
Apple Search Ads requires extra setup
Connecting the App Store listing alone does not grant Apple Search Ads access. ASA requires separate credentials — see the Apple Search Ads setup guide.
