AppsFlyer Unity Epic SDK integration

AppsFlyer empowers gaming marketers to make better decisions by providing powerful tools to perform cross-platform attribution.

Game attribution requires the game to integrate the AppsFlyer SDK that records first opens, consecutive sessions, and in-app events. For example, purchase events.
We recommend you use this sample app as a reference for integrating the AppsFlyer SDK into your Unity Epic game.

AppsflyerEpicModule - Interface

AppsflyerEpicModule.cs, included in the scenes folder, contains the required code and logic to connect to AppsFlyer servers and report events.

AppsflyerEpicModule

This method receives your API key, app ID and parent MonoBehaviour and initializes the AppsFlyer Module.

Method signature

AppsflyerEpicModule(string appid, string devkey, MonoBehaviour mono)

Usage:

AppsflyerEpicModule afm = new AppsflyerEpicModule("EPIC_APP_ID", "DEV_KEY", this);

Arguments:

• EPIC_APP_ID: Found in the Epic store link
• DEV_KEY: Get from the marketer or AppsFlyer HQ.

Start

This method sends first open/session requests to AppsFlyer.

Method signature

void Start(bool skipFirst = false)

Usage:

// without the flag
afm.Start();

// with the flag
bool skipFirst = [SOME_CONDITION];
afm.Start(skipFirst);

LogEvent

This method receives an event name and JSON object and sends an in-app event to AppsFlyer.

Method signature

void LogEvent(string event_name, Dictionary<string, object> event_parameters)

Usage:

// set event name
string event_name = "af_purchase";
// set event values
Dictionary<string, object> event_parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>();
event_parameters.Add("af_currency", "USD");
event_parameters.Add("af_price", 6.66);
event_parameters.Add("af_revenue", 12.12);
// send logEvent request
afm.LogEvent(event_name, event_parameters);

GetAppsFlyerUID

Get AppsFlyer's unique device ID. The SDK generates an AppsFlyer unique device ID upon app installation. When the SDK is started, this ID is recorded as the ID of the first app install.

Method signature

void GetAppsFlyerUID()

Usage:

AppsflyerEpicModule afm = new AppsflyerEpicModule("DEV_KEY", "EPIC_APP_ID", this);
afm.Start();
string af_uid = afm.GetAppsFlyerUID();

Running the sample app

1. Open Unity hub and open the project.
2. Use the sample code in AppsflyerEpicScript.cs and update it with your DEV_KEY and APP_ID.
3. Add the AppsflyerEpicScript to an empty game object (or use the one in the scenes folder):
   
4. Launch the sample app via the Unity editor and check that your debug log shows the following message:
   
5. After 24 hours, the AppsFlyer dashboard updates and shows organic and non-organic installs and in-app events.
