SKAdNetwork— what it means in affiliate marketing

Apple's framework for attributing iOS install campaigns without identifying the user.

Data arrives aggregated, delayed and with limited conversion values, so cohort-level optimisation replaced per-user optimisation. Any iOS report with instant, user-level attribution is reporting something else.
