I got a message:

Add or update app-ads.txt

Your app-ads.txt file is either missing or not valid. To prevent a significant loss in ad revenue, add or update your app-ads.txt.

Publish your app-ads.txt on the root of your developer website (for example, sampledomain.com/app-ads.txt). Make sure that the domain is entered exactly as listed on Google Play or the App Store.

I don't have a developer website.

My Requirement: How to setup this app-ads.txt file for free? (I've no domain or website)

Create a Blog in https://www.blogger.com/

click on settings and then in Monetization switch on Enable custom ads.txt

In Errors and redirects click on Custom redirects and add app-ads.txt and then click save

    Can you provide more information about the last step? On that page there are options to add "from/" and "to/" and a permanent switch. Also, nowhere in these instructions does it explain where to edit or upload the .txt file? – Ant the Alchemist Dec 23 '21 at 02:03

    add your app-ads.text content to Custom ads txt under monetization and and add custom redirect to it From: /app-ads.txt To: /ads.txt Permanent: Yes – Ozgur Sahin Apr 05 '22 at 22:08

Just as a clarification to Waqar Khan answer

  1. In your blog (from Blogger), go to settings.

  2. In Monetization section, switch on enable custom ads.txt

  3. Then in Errors and redirects section, click on Custom redirects ---> add ---> In the following dialog, input these:

    From: /app-ads.txt To: /ads.txt Permanent: Yes

  4. Click save. And that's set.

  5. Try now going to your_blog_domin/app-ads.txt

Firebase also offers a free way to host your app-ads.txt file https://support.google.com/admob/answer/9820295?hl=en

  • Thank you. Anyway, already solved with Blogger. If I've time, I will go through, this. I've an Firebase Android App as Free Plan. Is this feature available in Free Plan? – Chris J Jun 07 '22 at 14:46
