App Uninstall Tracking iOS

How can we track app uninstall in iOS ?

There are many tools which we can user to track iOS App uninstall like :-

1) Apps Flyer

2) Vizury 

3) QGraph

4) Unistall.io etc

In this blog we will discuss about how can we track App unistall using Apps Flyer.

Step 1 :-  Install AppFlyer SDK using CocoaPods.

        pod 'AppsFlyerFramework’

Step 2 :- Export .p12 file

       Open Keychain Acesss -> Select your production push notification certificate -> Export .p12

Step 3 :- Upload .p12 certificate on AppFlyer 

      Login with your account on AppFlyer -> Open App Settings on left menu -> Upload your certificate with password 

      Please see the screen shot for refrence.

Step 4 :- Intialize AppFyer in AppDelegate.swift

   func initializingAppsFlyer() {
        AppsFlyerTracker.sharedTracker().appsFlyerDevKey = "DevKey"
        AppsFlyerTracker.sharedTracker().appleAppID = "Apple App ID"
        AppsFlyerTracker.sharedTracker().delegate = self
    }
 

       Get developer key from the app flyer account and the Apple App ID from apple account of your app then call "initializingAppsFlyer" function from  "didFinishLaunchingWithOptions"

    func applicationDidBecomeActive(application: UIApplication) {
        AppsFlyerTracker.sharedTracker().trackAppLaunch()
    }
 

Step 6:- To track unistall write this code inside "didRegisterForRemoteNotificationWithDeviceToken"

  func application(application: UIApplication,didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {
        let characterSet: NSCharacterSet = NSCharacterSet( charactersInString: "<>" )
        let deviceTokenString: String = ( deviceToken.description as NSString )
            .stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet( characterSet )
            .stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString( " ", withString: "" ) as String
        NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setObject(deviceTokenString, forKey: "deviceToken")
        AppsFlyerTracker.sharedTracker().registerUninstall(deviceToken)
    }
    
 

We can test how many user have uninstall the app via using apps flyer dashboard. Please see the image for refrence

Please Note :- 

AppFlyer will only track app uninstall when user allow Push notification permission.

I hope it will help. Thanks
