Integrating AppsFlyer with RudderStack's Android SDK

1. Add AppsFlyer as a destination in the Dashboard and define devKey

2. Add these lines to your app/build.gradle

repositories {
    maven { url "https://dl.bintray.com/rudderstack/rudderstack" }
}

3. Add the dependency under dependencies

implementation 'com.rudderstack.android.sdk:core:[1.2.1,)'
implementation 'com.rudderstack.android.integration:appsflyer:[2.2.0,)'

// appsflyer dependencies
implementation 'com.appsflyer:af-android-sdk:6.4.3'
implementation 'com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:1.1.1'  // for attribution

4. Initialize Appsflyer SDK in the Application class before initializing the Rudder SDK as shown below:

import com.appsflyer.AppsFlyerLib
import com.appsflyer.AFLogger;

AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().init(<DEV_KEY>, null, this);
AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().setLogLevel(AFLogger.LogLevel.DEBUG);
AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().start(this);

Initialize RudderClient

val rudderClient: RudderClient = RudderClient.getInstance(
    this,
    <WRITE_KEY>,
    RudderConfig.Builder()
        .withDataPlaneUrl(<DATA_PLANE_URL>)
        .withFactory(AppsFlyerIntegrationFactory.FACTORY)
        .build()
)

How to get AppsFlyer ID

Use this snippet after initialising RudderClient

rudderClient.onIntegrationReady("AppsFlyer") {
    val appsflyerId = AppsFlyerLib.getInstance().getAppsFlyerUID(this)
    println("=====================================================")
    println("AppsFlyer ID: $appsflyerId")
    println("=====================================================")
}
