I'm trying to use Google Play Install Referrer API to create a transparent way for the users to share my app and get benefits... but i'm having a nightmare trying to test this api
My app has a button, when user presses it gets a link which can share on other apps like:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=blablabla&referrer=utm_source%3Dapp_referral%26referrer%3DUSERID
I can actually track the app_referral on google dashboard, but im aiming to get USERID at runtime to credit the user.
I've read a ton of articles about: https://developer.android.com/google/play/installreferrer/library none of them give real examples of how it will return the value, or how to test... one guy even suggested publish a test app on google play just for test
So my question is: how can i test it? if is way complicated, can you provide me some examples of how it will return?
it will return this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=blablabla&referrer=utm_source%3Dapp_referral%26referrer%3DUSERID
or this: referrer=utm_source%3Dapp_referral%26referrer%3DUSERID
or this: utm_source%3Dapp_referral%26referrer%3DUSERID
and if there isnt any referrer at url which originated install?
please any help is appreciated
