Has anyone actually seen vibe coded apps/games get onto the App and Play stores? I've been looking but have struggled to find any.

Hi, sorry for a late delay. Did you get your set up
I got this one, it's been fine, I don't have anything to compare it to but I haven't had issues:

New research: Most mobile tracker api endpoints are not covered by ad blockers

Used AppGoblin mobile ads data to uncover some less well known ad tech top level domains where data is sent. Spoiler, they're all well known companies, but still interesting:

Added a rank of the current top app advertisers as seen by AppGoblin as well as a way to browse app ad creatives

I analyzed the top 4 AI chat apps to see which third party tools they're using.
Takeaways:
More business and monetization tools than I expected. RevenueCat in there on two apps, and most of them had 3 analytics platforms of various kinds.

Muddy Waters report that adtech company AppLovin scrapes web cookies seems like a small deal when it collects billions of users data every month via apps.

Real reporting on the DDOS attack on X. #DarkSrorm was reported by @puckarks.bsky.social early on yet Musk later tried to blame Ukraine.

Oh, apologies, I'll change that ASAP. I saw you pointed to by cybernews and the posts about DarkStorm and thought this account was representing that
Posting about Musk/Tesla/Russia is immediately flagged on HackerNews. Sometimes stories break through, but it feels like there is either fervent support of Musk there or bot activity.

Mobile apps use 3rd party tools to track what you do. AppsFlyer and Adjust are the two largest ad tracking tools in 2025, but open source options are coming:

@aoc.bsky.social Can you please go live on more platforms? I haven't ever really used IG. Maybe go live on YouTube at the same time?
Be careful of growing conspiracy theories.
AppGoblin crossed 30k Android and iOS apps that have been downloaded and analyzed.
Unity at a whopping 87% of games is dominating. Godot, I love you, but I could barely find any games using it.

Looked into open source alternatives to Firebase dynamic Links for deferred deep linking in mobile apps.
Let me know what I missed.

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social great clapping back at @profgalloway.bsky.social on Raging Moderates. Standing up for yourself makes your points later stronger. Love the show.
What is the answer to trans women in school sports? Should more schools just have coed teams?
It's pretty incredible that #AppLovin has spiked in value despite having a very similiar size of client base to #UnityAds. AppLovin has long had stronger ties to brands and they've utilized financial advantages as well. They're dominant in non Google/FB #mobileadvertising now
I've been consistently finding that about 20% of the top apps have the mobile #advertising tracking SDKs for AppsFlyer. This turned out to be a lot less than I had expected, though there are a lot of top apps that this makes sense for (Google, FB, Samsung apps etc)

Listened to #AdExchanger latest podcast about Google's upcoming #antitrust lawsuit and likely breakup of its #ads business.
They mentioned the lack of publisher side adservers and it made me think that someone should work on an #opensource #adserver.. hmm =D

Hm, seems it's just the top 25 for your query unless you have a membership, still thanks for that, interesting resource. Let me know if you ever want to work on something together.
@livinawestlife.bsky.social seen you for years on SkyscraperCity, awesome to find you here. Saw you've been posting lots of charts and stuff, awesome. Just curious about CTBUH, I guess you pay for it? I've always wished there were open source resources like CTBUH.
