We have an AppStore link in our web application and user can install app from AppStore. Use case is like:
User browsing the website
There is Campaign page with AppStore link
User clicks on that link
Navigated to AppStore
User install the app
Now I need to decide the below items:
Number of download that refer from Campaign on Landing Page
Number of unique user of download that refer from Campaign on Landing Page
[I have explored Google Analytics Campaign Measurement but I guess that is targeted for MobileAd Network]
Please help me to find out a solution.
Thank you!
[Update]
Is Web Referrers of App Analytics relevant to this solution?
I don't think this is feasible.
Once the user clicks the link to the AppStore, you will never know if user installs or not. Because the App Store API would not notify you and shouldn't even do so (privacy & security issues)
The best you can do is count how many users clicked that link. But this does not correlate to app install.

We are running an install campaign on Facebook and, when user installs the app due to tapping on an Ad, I would like to fetch the campaign information from within iOS app and send to our server; like that, we can associate that data to a user in our database and see the lifetime value of campaigns (we offer subscriptions). What I'm looking for is something similar to what we can do when running Search Ads, where we can fetch attribution details via ADClient.shared().requestAttributionDetails.
Looking at Facebook docs, I can't find anything pointing me in the right direction. Is there a Facebook iOS SDK api I'm missing?
I want to directly open LinkedIn app (already installed) from our app. I followed the LinkedIn deep link URL scheme like:
linkedin://profile?id=35932112
The LinkedIn app opens and shows the target person. However, when it is above 3rd degree connection, it shows very limited information and asks to upgrade to premium account. But if I navigates to other persons within LinkedIn app, I can still see the full profile even above 3rd degree connection.
Did I miss anything? Is it LinkedIn policy or I have to do some more configurations?
Thank you very much in advance!
Try using the profile's public url instead, it's working well for me. The LinkedIn app will intercept it and open to the profile instead. The url is usually right under the profile picture and has the following format:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/userid
That's right, you cannot display information based on people that are not your primary connections. On newer versions of the app they restricted it even more; now it returns an error for second and third connections.
There is a way to do that but it's not that straight forward. Not sure what your logic is like and will it be helpful but it's something.
So when you login with LinkedIn you can request the public-profile-url property, it will be returned in the result as publicProfileUrl and then you can save it in your backend. This way it will be saved for all the users that has authenticated for the app. When you try to open that link it will open the LinkedIn app or Safari with that profile.
PS: Hope this helps someone, I can see you question is some time ago :)
Everyone! :)
I would like to be able to tell from the App where the user came from.
I found this article about affiliate links:
https://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/basic_affiliate_link_guidelines_for_the_phg_network.html
So it's possible to include affiliate token and campaign text in the iTunes link of the App.
However I would like to get these affiliate token and campaign text values from the code of the App.
You will not be able to access those values from within the app. They are not passed from the App Store in to the app that is installed. They are only available in the reporting dashboard.
I am an iOS developer that recently integrated the Facebook SDK into my company's mobile app. We already had an existing business page, and as an admin of that page I tried to "Create an App" - to which facebook told me I needed to do so from a personal account. After logging in to a personal account I created the iOS app following the directions, and everything thus far works 100% for the exception of one thing - linking facebook shares from the iOS app to our business facebook page via the web (not the app). In other words, when sharing information from our app, inside of the share dialog on facebook when users click on in "John Doe shared a link via ", I want users to be directed to our facebook page. I currently have it working so that if the user is on facebook using the mobile app and they click on the share it takes them to the app store if they dont have the app or opens the app if they have it, but if they are on their computer and click on the company name I want to direct them to our facebook page.
After becoming an admin for the business facebook page on my personal account, I was able to go to "Manage Apps", "Edit App", and then "App Details", where there is a section to "select an existing facebook page" that I am an admin for. The dropdown includes the business' facebook page, and after selecting it and then hitting save I am given the following message:
"Error. We were unable to update the association between your Facebook Page and your app. Try again later."
This has been going on for a few days now. Does anyone know what the issue is?
This error seems to crop up for a multitude of reasons, so you'll need to check a few things :
Under the "Settings" for your application, make sure Sandbox Mode is still disabled.
Verify that your App Id and App Secret have not changed.
Make sure the page is categorized as an App Page (and can be found under Brands & Products)
Make sure the Page name contains your app name.
Apparently this was a known issue with Facebook, and has since been fixed by them.

So we use Facebook Ads for Mobile to get users for our iOS app.
I've been looking through the documentation and I can't seem to find a way to know WHEN the user who has come into the app is a facebook user. Facebook can send app insights and I assume that means that somehow the SDK knows if the user is a converted Facebook user or not.
Is there any native API call that I can use to determine if the user is in fact a facebook app install?
I would also be cool if there was a third party service that did as long as it is reported INSIDE the app wether they were from Facebook or not.
Any help would be appreciated.

Suprising I did not think apple would allow facebook to access information that would also facebook to know whether the user actually installed the app or not as It just redirect's the user to the app in the app store.
