Apple has notified Russian and Belarusian developers that it will disable accounts in the Search Ads service from August 15, 2024. With its help, you can buy advertising in search results and recommendations in the App Store. This was reported by the author of the iOS Dev Telegram channel Viktor Grushevsky.

Users of the service have been unable to advertise to audiences in the Russian Federation since 2022. The new closure affected developers registered in Russia but who at the same time wanted to advertise abroad.
In response to Grushevsky’s appeal, the company referred to a clause in the agreement according to which either party can terminate cooperation at any time without giving reasons.
“Apple refers to paragraph 13, but there is really only one reason: the country where the account was registered,” the software engineer said.
Earlier, the contextual advertising service Google AdSense notified users in Russia that their accounts had been deactivated. They will be able to receive earnings for July from 21 to 26 August.
AdSense has also introduced restrictions for the Russian audience. Since 2022, the company has disabled the display of ads in the country and banned Russians from creating new accounts.
