When you download an app through Cosmic Rewards, we send that data to our partner app. From there, they let us know if you successfully downloaded it through Cosmic or from somewhere else. There are a number of reasons why an install could not be verified. Here are a few:
You have downloaded this app before and are not a new user
You did not download the app through Cosmic and downloaded it directly through the Play Store
You clicked on ads for this app or clicked on a different link for this app somewhere else
If the install goal has not checked off after 10 minutes, this means that we received data that you didn’t download it through Cosmic. Unfortunately, you’re not eligible to earn Stardust through Cosmo’s Challenges for this app.
We try to show this as soon as we know so you can make sure to spend time on apps that you are eligible for. Thanks for understanding!
