Special instructions for iOS applications:

Usage

Import the AppsFlyer Extension into your project:

import AppsFlyerInterface;

Construct the AppsFlyer interface:

private static var appsFlyer: AppsFlyerInterface; 
appsFlyer = new AppsFlyerInterface();

(Optional) If you want to perform deep linking or access AppsFlyer conversion data from the application, register Conversion Listener:

appsFlyer.registerConversionListener();

Set the Developer key and iOS app ID and Initialise the SDK:

appsFlyer.init("DevKey", "iOSAppID");

Initialise session reporting (automatically report app launches and background-to-foreground transitions) with DevKey and iOS app ID:

appsFlyer.start("DevKey", "iOSAppID");

Note:

If you don't target iOS as a platform, specifying iOSAppID ID is not required

Deep Linking

Setting up Deep Links in Adobe Air applications

Android: Create an intent-filter in the Android-Manifest.xml containing the required scheme/host/path properties. For additional reading on App-Links in Adobe Air: https://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/android-app-links.html

iOS: Using URI schemes. For additional reading on URI schemes in iOS: https://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f7e64a7f12cd2dd1867-8000.html#WS901d38e593cd1bac354f4f7b12e260e3e67-8000

More on DeepLinks and AppsFlyer: OneLink™ Overview

Receiving Deep Link Callbacks

In order to receive the relevant AppsFlyer information from the deep link used, register the following event listeners:

appsFlyer.addEventListener(AppsFlyerEvent.APP_OPEN_ATTRIBUTION, eventHandler); // success 
appsFlyer.addEventListener(AppsFlyerEvent.ATTRIBUTION_FAILURE, eventHandler); // error 

And handle the response in a corresponding event handler:

private function eventHandler(event:AppsFlyerEvent):void {
	log("AppsFlyer event: " + event.type + "; \nData: " + event.data);
}

Deferred Deep Links (get Conversion Data)

In order to receive the conversion data for the current install, register the following event listeners:

appsFlyer.addEventListener(AppsFlyerEvent.INSTALL_CONVERSATION_DATA_LOADED, eventHandler); // success
appsFlyer.addEventListener(AppsFlyerEvent.INSTALL_CONVERSATION_FAILED, eventHandler); //error

And handle the response in a corresponding event handler:

private function eventHandler(event:AppsFlyerEvent):void {
	log("AppsFlyer event: " + event.type + "; \nData: " + event.data);
}

IMEI And Android ID Collection (Android Only)

By default, IMEI and Android ID are not collected by the SDK if the OS version is higher than KitKat (4.4) and the device contains Google Play Services.

To explicitly send these IDs to AppsFlyer, developers can use the following APIs and place it before initialising the SDK.

If the app does NOT contain Google Play Services, the IMEI and Android ID are collected by the SDK. However, apps with Google play services should avoid IMEI collection as this is in violation of the Google Play policy.

Enable / Disable IMEI collection (disabled by default)

appsFlyer.setCollectIMEI(bool);

Manually setting IMEI Data

appsFlyer.setImeiData("imeiString");

Enable / Disable Android ID collection (disabled by default)

appsFlyer.setCollectAndroidID(bool);

Manually setting Android ID Data

appsFlyer.setAndroidIdData("AndroidIDString");

API Methods

Logging In-App Events

In-App Events can be logged using the `logEvent("eventName", "eventValue") API. For Example:

var param:String = "Deposit";
var value:String = '{"amount":10, "FTDLevel":"-"}';
appsFlyer.logEvent(param, value);         

Setting App User ID

appsFlyer.setAppUserId("user_id_as_used_in_the_app");

Setting App User Email

appsFlyer.setUserEmails("[email protected]");

Setting Currency

appsFlyer.setCurrency("USD");

Stop (Opt-Out)

In some extreme cases you might want to shut down all SDK reporting due to legal and privacy compliance. This can be achieved with the stop() API. Once this API is invoked, our SDK will no longer communicate with our servers and stop functioning.

appsFlyer.stop();

Enable / Disable AppsFlyer Debug-Logs

appsFlyer.setDebug(bool);

Important : do not release the application to the AppStore / Google Play with debug logs enabled.
