This plugin is built for

iOS AppsFlyerSDK
Android AppsFlyerSDK

Installation

$ npm install react-native-appsflyer --save

iOS

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.

You must also have the React dependencies defined in the Podfile as described here.

Run pod install (inside ios directory).

Manual Integration (Integrating without Cocoapods):

Download the Static Lib of the AppsFlyer iOS SDK from here: https://support.appsflyer.com/hc/en-us/articles/207032066-AppsFlyer-SDK-Integration-iOS#2-quick-start
Unzip and copy the contents of the Zip file into your project directory
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

Android

android/app/build.gradle

Run react-native link react-native-appsflyer from of the project root or add manually:

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'
}

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

MainApplication.java

Add:

import com.appsflyer.reactnative.RNAppsFlyerPackage;
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()
            //...
      );
    }

API Methods

`appsFlyer.trackAppLaunch(): void`

Necessary for tracking sessions and deep link callbacks in iOS on background-to-foreground transitions. Should be used with the relevant AppState logic.

Example:

state = {
  appState: AppState.currentState
}

componentDidMount()
{
  AppState.addEventListener('change', this._handleAppStateChange);
}

componentWillUnmount()
{  
  AppState.removeEventListener('change', this._handleAppStateChange);

      appsFlyer.trackAppLaunch();
    }
  }
 
  this.setState({appState: nextAppState});
}

`appsFlyer.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.

Note: The ID must be set during the first launch of the app at the SDK initialization. The best practice is to call this API during the deviceready event, where possible.

`appsFlyer.onInstallConversionData(callback): function:unregister`

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

parameter	type	description
`callback`	`function`	returns object

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,

Example of onInstallConversionDataLoaded:

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

Example of onAppOpenAttribution:

{
    "status": "success",
    "type": "onAppOpenAttribution",
    "data": {
        "af_sub1": "some custom data",
        "link": "https://rndemotest.onelink.me/7y5s/f78c46d5",
        "c": 'my campaign',
        "pid": "my media source" }
        }
}

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

Example:

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

    this.onAppOpenAttributionCanceller = appsFlyer.onAppOpenAttribution(
      data => {
        console.log(data);        
      }
    );


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

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

Example:

state = {
  appState: AppState.currentState
}

componentDidMount() {
    AppState.addEventListener('change', this._handleAppStateChange);
}

componentWillUnmount() {
  AppState.removeEventListener('change', this._handleAppStateChange);
}

_handleAppStateChange = (nextAppState) => {
    
    if (this.state.appState.match(/active|foreground/) && nextAppState === 'background') {
         if(this.onInstallConversionDataCanceller){
           this.onInstallConversionDataCanceller();
           console.log("unregister onInstallConversionDataCanceller");
         } 
         if(this.onAppOpenAttributionCanceller){
           this.onAppOpenAttributionCanceller();
           console.log("unregister onAppOpenAttributionCanceller");
         }  
    }

    this.setState({appState: nextAppState});
  }

iOS Deep Links - Universal Links and URL Schemes

In order to track retargeting and use the onAppOpenAttribution callbacks in iOS, the developer needs to pass the User Activity / URL to our SDK, via the following methods in the AppDelegate.m file:

Universal Links (iOS 9 +)

- (BOOL) application:(UIApplication *)application continueUserActivity:(NSUserActivity *)userActivity restorationHandler:(void (^)(NSArray *_Nullable))restorationHandler
{
[[AppsFlyerTracker sharedTracker] continueUserActivity:userActivity restorationHandler:restorationHandler];
return YES;
}

URL Schemes

// Reports app open from deep link from apps which do not support Universal Links (Twitter) and for iOS8 and below
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString*)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation {
[[AppsFlyerTracker sharedTracker] handleOpenURL:url sourceApplication:sourceApplication withAnnotation:annotation];
return YES;
}

// Reports app open from URL Scheme deep link for iOS 10
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url
options:(NSDictionary *) options {
[[AppsFlyerTracker sharedTracker] handleOpenUrl:url options:options];
return YES;
}
