Integrating with deltaDNA
Important!
The deltaDNA SDK userID, whether auto-generated or provided by the game, must be set as the customer user id in the AppsFlyer SDK to ensure the attribution data received from AppsFlyer is applied to the correct user. This must only be done on builds of the game integrated against the LIVE environment on the deltaDNA side.
- If you are using a propriety user id and populating this id both in AppsFlyer custom_user_id parameter and in deltaDNA user parameter – No additional code implementation is needed.
- If you are not using a propriety user id, you must take your userID property from deltaDNA and implement it in the AppsFlyer SDK under the customer_user_id parameter. The following code should be implemented after both SDKs are initiated.
AppsflyerLib.getInstance().setCustomerUserId(DDNA.instance().getUserId())[AppsFlyerTracker sharedTracker].customerUserID = [DDNASDK sharedInstance].userID;AppsFlyer.setCustomerUserID (DDNA.Instance.UserID)Follow the instructions below to configure the integration with deltaDNA
