platform is ios (App Store, default) or android (Google Play) on
arh_search_store_apps, arh_add_app, arh_search_keywords and
arh_competitors. Tracked apps already know their store.
store_id is the numeric App Store id (6772967892) or the package name
(com.example.app).

Google Play. Rank 0 means not ranked in that range.
