Audio Visual control systems are now offering application launch commands that allow activities to be built such as "Launch Netflix" or "Launch Prime" instead of just "Launch Fire TV". To do this the application launch command needs to be associated with the Bundle ID of the app. To find these the method I am familiar with is to use play.google.com and extract the Bundle ID from the url. In some cases this is working and in some cases not. Can anyone advise how to find the right Bundle ID in the cases where it is not working:

Works:

Netflix = com.netflix.ninja

HBO = com.hbo.hbonow

Showtime = com.showtime.standalone

Does Not Work:

Youtube=com.google.android.youtube

Youtube TV (compatible) = com.google.android.youtube.tvunplugged

Youtube TV (not compatible) = com.google.android.apps.youtube.unplugged

Amazon Prime = com.amazon.avod.thirdpartyclient

Britbox = com.britbox.us

Willow = tv.willow

Thanks in advance.

In order to sell ads programmatically in a Fire TV app, the ad inventory buyer needs to receive the Fire TV application name and Bundle ID in a bid request. Where can you find that info? Is it available in some kind of Fire TV app store?

For example, if I look up the Fox Sports Go app in the Fire TV app store, would the bundle/app ID be available in the URL (see below) somewhere?

https://www.amazon.com/FOX-Sports-Media-Group-Fox/dp/B07R88YW8T/ref=pd_cp_405_2/140-6145792-5203215?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07R88YW8T&pd_rd_r=1be72f52-fb16-4b89-a223-eb21d960ea89&pd_rd_w=p3ySR&pd_rd_wg=nqweN&pf_rd_p=e44de6bb-cc27-4696-9c22-3a1bddefabbd&pf_rd_r=EJ44J9936MSAB76DHEF3&psc=1&refRID=EJ44J9936MSAB76DHEF3

Hi there,

Thanks for posting! There are no APIs or lookup URLs to find package names for Fire TV apps. Could you please describe in more details what exactly you are trying to do, so we could understand the context? Thanks!
