At a glance: Test your Windows app integration with AppsFlyer.
- Currently, there is no way of testing with Windows Referrer other than to upload the app to the Windows App Store.
-
When testing with Windows Referrer, you must be familiar with the following restrictions:
- You must be logged in to the store.
- You must not have the Windows 10 Anniversary Update on your device.
- Your device must never have had the app (Windows' referrer is lifetime - even if you are allowlisted or have waited over 90 days, you will not receive referrer attribution).
Test SDK integration
- It is required to test the SDK Integration on a registered test device. To register your test device, follow the steps here.
- Open the AppsFlyer dashboard and chose the app you are testing.
- Select SDK Integration Tests from the Navigation Menu.
- You are presented with three options to test:

Testing non-organic install
