Android and iOS APIs

initSdk

initSdk(options, success, error)

Initialize the AppsFlyer SDK with the devKey and appID.

The dev key is required for all apps and the appID is required only for iOS.

(you may pass the appID on Android as well, and it will be ignored)

Example:

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {Platform, StyleSheet, Text, View} from 'react-native';
import appsFlyer from 'react-native-appsflyer';

appsFlyer.initSdk(
  {
    devKey: 'K2***********99',
    isDebug: false,
    appId: '41*****44',
    onInstallConversionDataListener: false, //Optional
    onDeepLinkListener: true, //Optional
    timeToWaitForATTUserAuthorization: 10, //for iOS 14.5
    manualStart: true, //Optional
  },
  (res) => {
    console.log(res);
  },
  (err) => {
    console.error(err);
  }
);

startSdk

startSdk()

In version 6.9.1 of the react-native-appslfyer SDK we added the option of splitting between the initialization stage and start stage. All you need to do is add the property manualStart: true to the init object, and later call appsFlyer.startSdk() whenever you decide. If this property is set to false or doesn’t exist, the sdk will start after calling appsFlyer.initSdk(...).

Example:

const option = {
  isDebug: true,
  devKey: 'UsxXxXxed',
  appId: '75xXxXxXxXx11',
  onInstallConversionDataListener: true,
  onDeepLinkListener: true,
  timeToWaitForATTUserAuthorization: 5,
  manualStart: true, // <--- for manual start.
};

appsFlyer.initSdk(
  option,
  () => {
    if (!option.manualStart) {
      console.warn('AppsFlyer SDK started!');
    } else {
      console.warn('AppsFlyer SDK init, didn\'t send launch yet');
      }
    },
      err => {
        // handle error
      },
    );
    //...
    // app flow
    //...

  appsFlyer.startSdk(); // <--- Here we send launch

logEvent

logEvent(eventName, eventValues, success, error)

In-App Events provide insight on what is happening in your app. It is recommended to take the time and define the events you want to measure to allow you to measure ROI (Return on Investment) and LTV (Lifetime Value).

Recording in-app events is performed by calling logEvent with event name and value parameters. See In-App Events documentation for more details.

Note: An In-App Event name must be no longer than 45 characters. Events names with more than 45 characters do not appear in the dashboard, but only in the raw Data, Pull and Push APIs.

Example:

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

appsFlyer.logEvent(
  eventName,
  eventValues,
  (res) => {
    console.log(res);
  },
  (err) => {
    console.error(err);
  }
);

setCustomerUserId

setCustomerUserId(userId, callback)

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.

If you wish to see the CUID (Customer User ID) under your installs raw data reports, it should be called before starting the SDK.

If you simply would like to add additional user id to the events raw data reports, then you can freely call it anytime you need.

Example:

appsFlyer.setCustomerUserId('some_user_id', (res) => {
  //..
});

stop

stop(isStopped, callback)

In some extreme cases you might want to shut down all SDK functions due to legal and privacy compliance. This can be achieved with the stopSDK API. Once this API is invoked, our SDK no longer communicates with our servers and stops functioning.

There are several different scenarios for user opt-out. We highly recommend following the exact instructions for the scenario, that is relevant for your app.

In any event, the SDK can be reactivated by calling the same API, by passing false.

Example:

appsFlyer.stop(true, (res) => {
  //...
});

setAppInviteOneLinkID

setAppInviteOneLinkID(oneLinkID, callback)

Set the OneLink ID that should be used for User-Invite-API.

The link that is generated for the user invite will use this OneLink ID as the base link ID.

Example:

appsFlyer.setAppInviteOneLinkID('abcd', (res) => {
  //...
});

setAdditionalData

setAdditionalData(additionalData, callback)

The setAdditionalData API is required to integrate on the SDK level with several external partner platforms, including Segment, Adobe and Urban Airship. Use this API only if the integration article of the platform specifically states setAdditionalData API is needed.

Example:

appsFlyer.setAdditionalData(
  {
    val1: 'data1',
    val2: false,
    val3: 23,
  },
  (res) => {
    //...
  }
);

setResolveDeepLinkURLs

setResolveDeepLinkURLs(urls, successC, errorC)

Set domains used by ESP when wrapping your deeplinks.

Use this API during the SDK Initialization to indicate that links from certain domains should be resolved in order to get original deeplink

For more information please refer to the documentation

Example:

appsFlyer.setResolveDeepLinkURLs(["click.esp-domain.com"],
    (res) => {
        console.log(res);
    }, (error) => {
        console.log(error);
    });

setOneLinkCustomDomains

setOneLinkCustomDomains(domains, successC, errorC)

Set Onelink custom/branded domains

Use this API during the SDK Initialization to indicate branded domains.

For more information please refer to the documentation

Example:

appsFlyer.setOneLinkCustomDomains(["click.mybrand.com"],
    (res) => {
        console.log(res);
    }, (error) => {
        console.log(error);
    });

setCurrencyCode

setCurrencyCode(currencyCode, callback)

Setting user local currency code for in-app purchases.

The currency code should be a 3 character ISO 4217 code. (default is USD).

You can set the currency code for all events by calling the following method.

Example:

appsFlyer.setCurrencyCode(currencyCode, () => {});

logLocation

logLocation(longitude, latitude, callback)

Manually record the location of the user.

Example:

const latitude = -18.406655;
const longitude = 46.40625;

appsFlyer.logLocation(longitude, latitude, (err, coords) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    //...
  }
});

anonymizeUser

anonymizeUser(shouldAnonymize, callback)

It is possible to anonymize specific user identifiers within AppsFlyer analytics.
This complies with both the latest privacy requirements (GDPR, COPPA) and Facebook's data and privacy policies.
To anonymize an app user.

Example:

appsFlyer.anonymizeUser(true, () => {});

getAppsFlyerUID

getAppsFlyerUID(callback)

AppsFlyer's unique device ID is created for every new install of an app. Use the following API to obtain AppsFlyer’s Unique ID.

Example:

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

setHost

setHost(hostPrefix, hostName, successC)

Set a custom host

Example:

appsFlyer.setHost('foo', 'bar.appsflyer.com', res => console.log(res));

setUserEmails

setUserEmails(options, success, error)

Set the user emails and encrypt them.
Note: Android and iOS platforms supports only 0 (none) and 3 (SHA256) emailsCryptType.
When unsupported emailsCryptType is passed, the SDK will use the default (none).

Example:

const options = {
  // In this case iOS platform will encrypt emails usind MD5 and android with SHA256. If you want both platform to encrypt with the same method, just write 0 or 3.
  emailsCryptType: Platform.OS === 'ios' ? 2 : 3, 
  emails: ['[email protected]', '[email protected]'],
};

appsFlyer.setUserEmails(
  options,
  (res) => {
    //...
  },
  (err) => {
    console.error(err);
  }
);

generateInviteLink

generateInviteLink(parameters, success, error)

Example:

appsFlyer.generateInviteLink(
 {
   channel: 'gmail',
   campaign: 'myCampaign',
   customerID: '1234',
   userParams: {
     myParam: 'newUser',
     anotherParam: 'fromWeb',
     amount: 1,
   },
 },
 (link) => {
   console.log(link);
 },
 (err) => {
   console.log(err);
 }
);

A complete list of supported parameters is available here. Custom parameters can be passed using a userParams{} nested object, as in the example above.

    };

appsFlyer.validateAndLogInAppPurchase(info, res => console.log(res), err => console.log(err));

updateServerUninstallToken

updateServerUninstallToken(token, callback)

Manually pass the Firebase / GCM Device Token for Uninstall measurement.

Example:

appsFlyer.updateServerUninstallToken('token', (res) => {
  //...
});

sendPushNotificationData

sendPushNotificationData(pushPayload, ErrorCB): void
Push-notification campaigns are used to create fast re-engagements with existing users.

Learn more

For Android platform, AppsFlyer SDK uses the activity in order to process the push payload. Make sure you call this api when the app's activity is available (NOT dead state).

From version 6.6.0 we added an error callback that returns an error message.

Example:

const pushPayload = {
            af:{
                c:"test_campaign",
                is_retargeting:true,
                pid:"push_provider_int",
            },
            aps:{
                alert:"Get 5000 Coins",
                badge:"37",
                sound:"default"
            }
        };
        appsFlyer.sendPushNotificationData(pushPayload, err => console.log(err));

addPushNotificationDeepLinkPath

addPushNotificationDeepLinkPath(path, SuccessCB, ErrorCB): void

Adds array of keys, which are used to compose key path to resolve deeplink from push notification payload.

Example:

let path = ['deeply', 'nested', 'deep_link'];
appsFlyer.addPushNotificationDeepLinkPath(
  path,
  res => console.log(res),
  error => console.log(error),
);

This call matches the following payload structure:

{
  ...
  "deeply": {
    "nested": {
      "deep_link": "https://yourdeeplink2.onelink.me"
    }
  }
  ...
}

appendParametersToDeepLinkingURL

appendParametersToDeepLinkingURL(contains, parameters): void

Matches URLs that contain contains as a substring and appends query parameters to them. In case the URL does not match, parameters are not appended to it.

Note:

1. The parameters object must be consisted of string key and string value
2. Call this api before calling appsFlyer.initSDK()
3. You must provide the following parameters:
   pid, is_retargeting most be set to 'true'

Example:

appsFlyer.appendParametersToDeepLinkingURL('substring-of-url', {param1: 'value', pid: 'value2', is_retargeting: 'true'});

disableAdvertisingIdentifier

disableAdvertisingIdentifier(shouldDisdable): void

Disables collection of various Advertising IDs by the SDK.

Anroid: Google Advertising ID (GAID), OAID and Amazon Advertising ID (AAID)

iOS: Apple's advertisingIdentifier (IDFA)

Example:

appsFlyer.disableAdvertisingIdentifier(true);

enableTCFDataCollection

enableTCFDataCollection(enabled): void

instruct the SDK to collect the TCF data from the device.

Example:

appsFlyer.enableTCFDataCollection(true);

setConsentData

setConsentData(consentObject): void

When GDPR applies to the user and your app does not use a CMP compatible with TCF v2.2, use this API to provide the consent data directly to the SDK.

The AppsFlyerConsent object has 2 methods:

1. AppsFlyerConsent.forNonGDPRUser: Indicates that GDPR doesn’t apply to the user and generates nonGDPR consent object. This method doesn’t accept any parameters.
2. AppsFlyerConsent.forGDPRUser: create an AppsFlyerConsent object with 2 parameters:

Example:

import appsFlyer, {AppsFlyerConsent} from 'react-native-appsflyer';

let nonGDPRUser = AppsFlyerConsent.forNonGDPRUser();
// OR
let GDPRUser = AppsFlyerConsent.forGDPRUser(true, false);

appsFlyer.setConsentData(nonGDPRUser /**or**/ GDPRUser);

logAdRevenue

logAdRevenue(data: AFAdRevenueData): void

Use this method to log your ad revenue.

By attributing ad revenue, app owners gain the complete view of user LTV and campaign ROI.
Ad revenue is generated by displaying ads on rewarded videos, offer walls, interstitials, and banners in an app.

Example:

const adRevenueData = {
  monetizationNetwork: 'AF-AdNetwork',
  mediationNetwork: MEDIATION_NETWORK.IRONSOURCE,
  currencyIso4217Code: 'USD',
  revenue: 1.23,
  additionalParameters: {
    customParam1: 'value1',
    customParam2: 'value2',
  }
};

appsFlyer.logAdRevenue(adRevenueData);

Here's how you use appsFlyer.logAdRevenue within a React Native app:

1. Prepare the adRevenueData object as shown, including any additional parameters you wish to track along with the ad revenue event.
2. Call the appsFlyer.logAdRevenue method with the adRevenueData object.

By passing all the required fields in AFAdRevenueData, you help ensure accurate tracking within the AppsFlyer platform. This enables you to analyze your ad revenue alongside other user acquisition data to optimize your app's overall monetization strategy.

Note: The additionalParameters object is optional. You can add any additional data you want to log with the ad revenue event in this object. This can be useful for detailed analytics or specific event tracking later on. Make sure that the custom parameters follow the data types and structures specified by AppsFlyer in their documentation.

Android Only APIs

setCollectAndroidID

setCollectAndroidID(isCollect, callback)

Opt-out of collection of Android ID.

If the app does NOT contain Google Play Services, Android ID is collected by the SDK.

However, apps with Google play services should avoid Android ID collection as this is in violation of the Google Play policy.

Example:

if (Platform.OS == 'android') {
appsFlyer.setCollectAndroidID(true, (res) => {
   //...
});
}

setCollectIMEI

setCollectIMEI(isCollect, callback)

Opt-out of collection of IMEI.

If the app does NOT contain Google Play Services, device IMEI is collected by the SDK.

However, apps with Google play services should avoid IMEI collection as this is in violation of the Google Play policy.

Example:

if (Platform.OS == 'android') {
appsFlyer.setCollectIMEI(false, (res) => {
   //...
});
}

setDisableNetworkData setDisableNetworkData(disable)

Use to opt-out of collecting the network operator name (carrier) and sim operator name from the device.

Example:

if (Platform.OS == 'android') {
appsFlyer.setDisableNetworkData(true);
}

performOnDeepLinking

performOnDeepLinking()

Enables manual triggering of deep link resolution. This method allows apps that are delaying the call to appsFlyer.startSdk() to resolve deep links before the SDK starts.

Note:
This API will trigger the appsFlyer.onDeepLink callback. In the following example, we check if res.deepLinkStatus is equal to “FOUND” inside appsFlyer.onDeepLink callback to extract the deeplink parameters.

Example:

// Let's say we want the resolve a deeplink and get the deeplink params when the user clicks on it but delay the actual 'start' of the sdk (not sending launch to appsflyer). 

const option = {
  isDebug: true,
  devKey: 'UsxXxXxed',
  appId: '75xXxXxXxXx11',
  onInstallConversionDataListener: true,
  onDeepLinkListener: true,
  manualStart: true, // <--- for manual start.
};

const onDeepLink = appsFlyer.onDeepLink(res => {
  if (res.deepLinkStatus == 'FOUND') {
      // here we will get the deeplink params after resolving it.
      // more flow...
  }
});

appsFlyer.initSdk(
  option,
  () => {
    if (!option.manualStart) {
      console.warn('AppsFlyer SDK started!');
    } else {
      console.warn('AppsFlyer SDK init, didn\'t send launch yet');
      }
    },
  () => {},
);

if (Platform.OS == 'android') {
  appsFlyer.performOnDeepLinking();
}

// more app flow...

appsFlyer.startSdk(); // <--- Here we send launch

iOS Only APIs

disableCollectASA

disableCollectASA(shouldDisable)

Disables Apple Search Ads collecting

Example:

if (Platform.OS == 'ios') {
appsFlyer.disableCollectASA(true);
}

disableIDFVCollection

disableIDFVCollection(shouldDisable)

Disables app vendor identifier (IDFV) collection in iOS.

Default is false (the SDK will collect IDFV).

Example:

if (Platform.OS == 'ios') {
appsFlyer.disableIDFVCollection(true);
}

setUseReceiptValidationSandbox

void setUseReceiptValidationSandbox(bool useReceiptValidationSandbox)

In app purchase receipt validation Apple environment(production or sandbox). The default value is false.

Example:

appsFlyer.setUseReceiptValidationSandbox(true);

disableSKAD

disableSKAD(disableSkad)

❗Important❗ disableSKAD must be called before calling initSDK and for iOS ONLY!

Example:

if (Platform.OS == 'ios') {
    appsFlyer.disableSKAD(true);
}

setCurrentDeviceLanguage

setCurrentDeviceLanguage(language)

Set the language of the device. The data will be displayed in Raw Data Reports

If you want to clear this property, set an empty string. ("")

Example:

if (Platform.OS == 'ios') {
    appsFlyer.setCurrentDeviceLanguage("EN");
}

AppsFlyerConversionData

onInstallConversionData

onInstallConversionData(callback) : function:unregister

Accessing AppsFlyer Attribution / Conversion Data from the SDK (Deferred Deeplinking).

The code implementation for the conversion listener must be made prior to the initialization code of the SDK.

Example:

const onInstallConversionDataCanceller = appsFlyer.onInstallConversionData(
  (res) => {
    if (JSON.parse(res.data.is_first_launch) == true) {
      if (res.data.af_status === 'Non-organic') {
        var media_source = res.data.media_source;
        var campaign = res.data.campaign;
        alert('This is first launch and a Non-Organic install. Media source: ' + media_source + ' Campaign: ' + campaign);
      } else if (res.data.af_status === 'Organic') {
        alert('This is first launch and a Organic Install');
      }
    } else {
      alert('This is not first launch');
    }
  }
);

appsFlyer.initSdk(/*...*/);

Example onInstallConversionData:

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

Note** is_first_launch will be "true" (string) on Android and true (boolean) on iOS. To solve this issue wrap is_first_launch with JSON.parse(res.data.is_first_launch) as in the example above.

appsFlyer.onInstallConversionData returns a function the will allow us to call NativeAppEventEmitter.remove().

onInstallConversionFailure

onInstallConversionFailure(callback) : function:unregister

Example:

    const onInstallGCDFailure = appsFlyer.onInstallConversionFailure(res => {
      console.log(JSON.stringify(res, null, 2));
    });

Example onInstallConversionFailure:

{
  "status": "failure",
  "type": "onInstallConversionFailure",
  "data": "DevKey is incorrect"
}
