Installation

$ npm install react-native-appsflyer --save

iOS

1. Add the appsFlyerFramework to podfile and run pod install.

use_frameworks!
target 'demo' do
  pod 'AppsFlyerFramework'
end

Don't use CocoaPods? please see their DOCS .

2. Create bridge between your application and appsFlyerFramework: In XCode ➜ project navigator, right click Libraries ➜ Add Files to [your project's name] Go to node_modules ➜ react-native-appsflyer and add RNAppsFlyer.xcodeproj Build your project, It will generate libRNAppsFlyer.a file:

   

3. In your project build phase ➜ Link binary with libraries ➜ add libRNAppsFlyer.a. Run your project (Cmd+R) or through CLI run: react-native run-ios

Breaking Changes for react-native >= 0.40.0:

In RNAppsFlyer.h:

#import <React/RCTBridgeModule.h>  //for react-native ver >= 0.40

Android

android/app/build.gradle

Add the project to your dependencies

dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':react-native-appsflyer')
}

android/settings.gradle

Add the project

include ':react-native-appsflyer'
project(':react-native-appsflyer').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-appsflyer/android')

Build project so you should get following dependency (see an Image):

MainApplication.java

Add:

1. import com.appsflyer.reactnative.RNAppsFlyerPackage;

2. In the getPackages() method register the module: new RNAppsFlyerPackage(MainApplication.this)

So getPackages() should look like:

 @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new RNAppsFlyerPackage(MainApplication.this),
          //.....
      );
    }

API Methods

appsFlyer.initSdk(options, callback): void

initializes the SDK.

const options = {
  devKey: "WdpTVAcYwmxsaQ4WeTspmh",
  appId: "975313579",
  isDebug: true
};

appsFlyer.initSdk(options,
  (result) => {
    console.log(result);
  },
  (error) => {
    console.error(error);
  }
)

setCustomerUserId(customerUserId, callback): void

Setting your own Custom ID enables you to cross-reference your own unique ID with AppsFlyer’s user ID and the other devices’ IDs. This ID is available in AppsFlyer CSV reports along with postbacks APIs for cross-referencing with you internal IDs.

const userId = "some_user_id";

appsFlyer.setCustomerUserId(userId,
  (response) => {
    //..
  }
); 

appsFlyer.trackEvent(eventName, eventValues, errorC, successC): void

• These in-app events help you track how loyal users discover your app, and attribute them to specific campaigns/media-sources. Please take the time define the event/s you want to measure to allow you to track ROI (Return on Investment) and LTV (Lifetime Value).
• The trackEvent method allows you to send in-app events to AppsFlyer analytics. This method allows you to add events dynamically by adding them directly to the application code.

const eventName = "af_add_to_cart";
const eventValues = {
  "af_content_id": "id123",
  "af_currency":"USD",
  "af_revenue": "2"
};

appsFlyer.trackEvent(eventName, eventValues, errorC, successC) => {
  (result) => {
    //...
  },
  (error) => {
    console.error(error);
  }
 })
    

Track App Uninstalls

iOS

AppsFlyer enables you to track app uninstalls. To handle notifications it requires to modify your AppDelegate.m. Use didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken to register to the uninstall feature.

Example:

- (void)application:(UIApplication ​*)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *​)deviceToken {
   // notify AppsFlyerTracker
   [[AppsFlyerTracker sharedTracker] registerUninstall:deviceToken];
}

Android

setGCMProjectID(GCMProjectID): void

 setGCMProjectID(){
    const  gcmProjectId = "987186475229";
    appsFlyer.setGCMProjectID(gcmProjectId,
        (gcmProjectID) => {
          //...
        },
        (error) => {
          console.error(error);
        })
  }

appsFlyer.onInstallConversionData(callback): function:unregister

Accessing AppsFlyer Attribution / Conversion Data from the SDK (Deferred Deeplinking). Read more: Android, iOS

callback structure:

• status: "success"or "failure" if SDK returned error on onInstallConversionData event handler
• type:
• "onAppOpenAttribution" - returns deep linking data (non-organic)
• "onInstallConversionDataLoaded" - called on each launch
• "onAttributionFailure"
• "onInstallConversionFailure"
• data: some metadata, for example:

{
  "status": "success",
  "type": "onInstallConversionDataLoaded",
  "data": {
    "af_status": "Organic",
    "af_message": "organic install"
  }
}

Example:

this.onInstallConversionDataCanceller = appsFlyer.onInstallConversionData(
  (data) => {
    console.log(data);
  }
);

The appsFlyer.onInstallConversionData returns function to unregister this event listener. Actually it calls NativeAppEventEmitter.remove()

Example:

componentWillUnmount() {
  if(this.onInstallConversionDataCanceller){
    this.onInstallConversionDataCanceller();
  }
}

appsFlyer.getAppsFlyerUID(callback): void

Get AppsFlyer’s proprietary Device ID. The AppsFlyer Device ID is the main ID used by AppsFlyer in Reports and APIs.

Example:

appsFlyer.getAppsFlyerUID((error, appsFlyerUID) => {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log("on getAppsFlyerUID: " + appsFlyerUID);
  }
});

appsFlyer.trackLocation(longitude, latitude, callback(error, coords): void (iOS only)

Get AppsFlyer’s proprietary Device ID. The AppsFlyer Device ID is the main ID used by AppsFlyer in Reports and APIs.

Example:

const latitude = -18.406655;
const longitude = 46.406250;
 
appsFlyer.trackLocation(longitude, latitude, (error, coords) => {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    this.setState({ ...this.state, trackLocation: coords });
  }
});

appsFlyer.setUserEmails(options, errorC, successC): void

AppsFlyer enables you to report one or more of the device’s associated email addresses. You must collect the email addresses and report it to AppsFlyer according to your required encryption method. More info you can find on AppsFlyer-SDK-Integration-Android and AppsFlyer-SDK-Integration-iOS

options

Example:

const options = {
  "emailsCryptType": 2,
  "emails": [
    "user1@gmail.com",
    "user2@gmail.com"
  ]
};

appsFlyer.setUserEmails(options,
  (response) => {
    this.setState({ ...this.state, setUserEmailsResponse: response });
  },
  (error) => {
    console.error(error);
  }
