Usage:

1. Set your App_ID (iOS only), Dev_Key and enable AppsFlyer to detect installations, sessions (app opens), and updates.

**Note: ** *This is the minimum requirement to start tracking your app installs and it's already implemented in this plugin. You MUST modify this call and provide: *

• devKey - Your application devKey provided by AppsFlyer.
• appId - For iOS only. Your iTunes application id.

document.addEventListener("deviceready", function(){
    var args = [];
    var devKey = "xxXXXXXxXxXXXXxXXxxxx8";   // your AppsFlyer devKey
    args.push(devKey);
    var userAgent = window.navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
                          
    if (/iphone|ipad|ipod/.test( userAgent )) {
        var appId = "123456789";            // your ios app id in app store
        args.push(appId);
    }
    window.plugins.appsFlyer.initSdk(args);
}, false);

2. Set currency code (optional)

//USD is default value. Acceptable ISO(http://www.xe.com/iso4217.php) Currency codes here. Examples:  
//British Pound: window.plugins.appsFlyer.setCurrencyCode("GBP");  
window.plugins.appsFlyer.setCurrencyCode("USD");

3. Set customer user ID (Advance)

Setting your own custom ID will enable you to cross-reference your own unique ID with AppsFlyer’s user ID and the other devices’ IDs. This ID will be available at 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 to this API during deviceready event if possible.

window.plugins.appsFlyer.setAppUserId(userId);

4. In App Events Tracking API (optional)

These events help you track how loyal users discover your app and attribute them to specific campaign/source.

• 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 would like 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.

// eventName - any string to define the event name. For example: “registration” or “purchase”
// eventValue - the sales value. For example: 0.99 or 0.79
window.plugins.appsFlyer.sendTrackingWithEvent(eventName, eventValue);
// window.plugins.appsFlyer.sendTrackingWithEvent(eventName, "");

4.1 Rich In App Events Tracking API (optional)

AppsFlyer’s rich in­app events provide advertisers with the ability to track any post­install event and attribute it to a media source and campaign. An in­app event is comprised of an event name and event parameters

var eventName = "af_add_to_cart";
var eventValues = {"af_content_id": "id123", "af_currency":"USD", "af_revenue": "2"};
window.plugins.appsFlyer.trackEvent(eventName, eventValues);

5. Get AppsFlyer’s Unique Device UID (Advanced)

Get AppsFlyer’s proprietary device ID. AppsFlyer device ID is the main ID used by AppsFlyer in the Reports and API’s.

// getUserIdCallbackFn - callback function
window.plugins.appsFlyer.getAppsFlyerUID(getUserIdCallbackFn);

Example:

var getUserIdCallbackFn = function(id) {
    alert('received id is: ' + id);
}
window.plugins.appsFlyer.getAppsFlyerUID(getUserIdCallbackFn);

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

Deep-linking). Read more: Android, iOS
Note: AppsFlyer plugin will fire onInstallConversionDataLoaded event with attribution data. You must implement listener to receive the data.

Example:

document.addEventListener('onInstallConversionDataLoaded', function(e){
    var attributionData = (JSON.stringify(e.detail));
    alert(attributionData);
}, false);
