I am implementing ads for monetization and have filled out all the form. Last line asks for the developer URL.
Both the ads provider and I have double checked the URL, it works correctly and the app-ads.txt file displays in a browser, but when I enter the root domain URL, Roku form returns "The server URL could not be validated."
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

My ads provider had to switch the root domain URL to the developer company listed, not the website it was hosted on, and that is what worked.

Re: app-ads.txt error The server URL could not be validated. Root domain URL
Hi @coskel ,
Not sure if this is your case, but you need to enter the root domain to the "app-ads.txt" file, so for example:
1. Your "app-ads.txt" is in the root directory of your site:
https://yourdomain.com/app-ads.txt
then Developer URL will be: https://yourdomain.com
2. Your "app-ads.txt" is in a subdirectory of your site:
https://yourdomain.com/files/app-ads.txt
then Developer URL will be: https://yourdomain.com/files
Hope this helps.
Cheers

You need to append ROKU_ADS_TRACKING_ID and ROKU_ADS_LIMIT_TRACKING Parameter macros to your ad server URL (VAST), so talk to your ad provider.
To read more about diffrent Roku parameters go to
