| Reinstall detection using on-device storage (iOS only) |
Detect reinstalls without depending on advertising IDs. This is done by storing the last app install date on the secure local storage in the device (in iOS, the Keychain). Determining whether an install was a reinstall or a new install, enables you to deduplicate reinstalls from your NOIs, making attribution analytics more accurate. Note: Only the last app install date is stored in the device's local storage for this purpose - no other device identifier (e.g., IDFA, IDFV) is stored.
