Installation with autolinking

Run the following:

$ npm install react-native-appsflyer --save
$ cd ios && pod install

Installation without autolinking

Run the following:

$ npm install react-native-appsflyer --save
$ react-native link react-native-appsflyer

Manual installation iOS

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

Example:

pod 'react-native-appsflyer',
:path => '../node_modules/react-native-appsflyer'

This assumes your Podfile is located in ios directory.

Sample pod file:

target 'AFTest' do

  pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native', :subspecs => [
    'Core',
    'CxxBridge', # Include this for RN >= 0.47
    'DevSupport', # Include this to enable In-App Devmenu if RN >= 0.43
    'RCTText',
    'RCTNetwork',
    'RCTWebSocket', # Needed for debugging
    'RCTAnimation', # Needed for FlatList and animations running on native UI thread
    # Add any other subspecs you want to use in your project
  ]

  pod 'yoga', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga'

  pod 'react-native-appsflyer',
  :path => '../node_modules/react-native-appsflyer'


  pod 'DoubleConversion', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/DoubleConversion.podspec'
  pod 'glog', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/glog.podspec'
  pod 'Folly', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/Folly.podspec'

end

2. Run pod install (inside ios directory).

Manual Integration (Integrating without Cocoapods):

1. Download the Static Lib of the AppsFlyer iOS SDK from AppsFlyer devHub
2. Unzip and copy the contents of the Zip file into your project directory
3. Run react-native link react-native-appsflyer from of the project root or copy RNAppsFlyer.h and RNAppsFlyer.m from node_modules ➜ react-native-appsflyer to your project directory

Manual installation Android

Run react-native link react-native-appsflyer OR add manually:

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')

If you need to override sdk version, add custom configuration to your root gradle, for example:

ext {
    minSdkVersion = 16
    targetSdkVersion = 25
    compileSdkVersion = 25
    buildToolsVersion = '25.0.3'
}

MainApplication.java

Add:

1. import com.appsflyer.reactnative.RNAppsFlyerPackage;

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

So getPackages() should look like:

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

Add strict-mode for App-kids

Starting from version 6.1.10 iOS SDK comes in two variants: Strict mode and Regular mode. Please read more here

Change to Strict mode
After you installed the AppsFlyer plugin, add $RNAppsFlyerStrictMode=true in the project's Podfile:

//MyRNApp/ios/Podfile
...
use_frameworks!
  $RNAppsFlyerStrictMode=true

  # Pods for MyRNApp
...

In the ios folder of your root project Run pod install

Change to Regular mode
Remove $RNAppsFlyerStrictMode=true from the project's Podfile or set it to false:

//MyRNApp/ios/Podfile
...
use_frameworks!
  $RNAppsFlyerStrictMode=false //OR remove this line

  # Pods for MyRNApp
...

In the ios folder of your root project Run pod install

The AD_ID permission for android apps

In v6.8.0 of the AppsFlyer SDK, we added the normal permission com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID to the SDK's AndroidManifest,
to allow the SDK to collect the Android Advertising ID on apps targeting API 33.
If your app is targeting children, you need to revoke this permission to comply with Google's Data policy.
You can read more about it here.
