The following document defines the process for creating a campaign to track pre-installed app bundles installed on Android devices.

 

Data Needed Before Beginning Process:

• Kochava SDK installed on the pre-loaded app
• Configure the pre-loaded app(s):
  • Configure to make a background web request on first launch (or)
  • Configure app bundle to fire click upon open.

 

Procedure Flow:

1. Create an app within Free App Analytics.
2. Create a Campaign.
3. Create a Segment.
4. Create a Tracker using a VPPN or network responsible for the campaign.
5. Configure the pre-loaded apps to make a background web request (fire a click on the Free App Analytics tracker) upon first launch prior to the Kochava SDK initializing and sending that install notification to the Free App Analytics servers.
6. If the app is pre-loaded as part of a bundle (e.g., Game Center), configure the click to fire upon opening of that app bundle.

NOTE: If the above procedure flow is completed correctly, all installs of the pre-loaded apps will be attributed to the VPPN or network and will be clearly defined apart from other installs.
