Any easy way to test this?

Hello,

I'm wondering what's an easy way to test this? Considering one should publish to the store to get an actual referer, I can't think of an easy way to test locally.

Hi, @badver I am using the following broadcast,

echo 'am broadcast \ -a com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER \ -n "com.mypackagename/com.google.android.gms.analytics.CampaignTrackingReceiver" \ --es "referrer" \ "utm_source=test_source&utm_medium=test_medium&utm_term=test_term&utm_content=test_content&utm_campaign=test_name"; \ exit' | ./adb shell

but using the library code

RNInstallReferrer.getReferrer().then(referrer=>console.log('INSTALL_REFERRER JS : ', JSON.stringify(referrer)));,

I get the following log:

{"clickTimestamp":"0","installReferrer":"utm_source=google-play&utm_medium=organic","installTimestamp":"0"}

I am sure I am doing something wrong here because the utm_source and utm_medium are not what I broadcasted. I think my issue is with the broadcast receiver.

If that is the case, what should be the broadcast receiver in the above echo command?

I used this command:

echo 'am broadcast \
-a com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER \
-n "com.____my___.____app____/com.google.android.gms.analytics.CampaignTrackingReceiver" \
--es "referrer" \
"utm_source=test_source&utm_medium=test_medium&utm_term=test_term&utm_content=test_content&utm_campaign=test_name"; \ 
exit' | adb shell

I don't see any differences with yours. Try to reinstall the app.

================================
i ran the above script in terminal and got this as response in terminal => Broadcast completed: result=0 ,
what does this mean?.

Even after re installing the app it gives the same output as above:-
{"clickTimestamp":"0","installReferrer":"utm_source=google-play&utm_medium=organic","installTimestamp":"0"}

a.)So other way is the publish the app in Beta and test it... ?

or is there any other way to test it locally other than running the script
