ReactNative – SDK Integration

The Kochava ReactNative SDK is a lightweight plugin which can be easily integrated into your ReactNative project. The entire integration process takes less than five minutes and simply requires adding the SDK within your project and then starting the Kochava Tracker in code. If you have already integrated the SDK and started the tracker, please visit Using the SDK and choose a topic.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: App Tracking Transparency (ATT) implementation is required for Free App Analytics. ONLY devices that have opted-in and have IDFA available will be measured and available in primary reporting and analytics.

Google Play Store:

If you wish for the SDK to collect the Google Play Ads Identifier (ADID), App Set ID (ASID) and/or make use of the Install Referrer, you must integrate Google Play Services by adding the appropriate dependencies. Collection is handled by the Kochava SDK with only the dependency itself needing to be included. The Kochava SDK does not require specific versions of its dependencies however we recommend keeping them up to date whenever possible.

NOTE: In order for the Meta Referrer to be collected by the SDK you must have the Facebook Partner configured on the Free App Analytics Dashboard with your Facebook App ID.

 

Manifest

The following items should be added to the top level of your manifest file.

<queries>
    <package android:name="com.facebook.katana" />
    <package android:name="com.instagram.android" />
</queries>

Permissions:

The following permissions are split by module and are automatically included with the module. Optional permissions are noted and can be removed if desired using the manifest entry shown.

// Tracker Module

Minification (ProGuard / R8):

The following minification rules are required when code minification is enabled. They are automatically included when adding the Kochava SDK and typically do not require manual inclusion. If you are experiencing issues after enabling minification you can manually include the rules in your configuration file.

Starting the Tracker

1 Minute
Estimated Time to Complete
1 Minute

Once you have added the Kochava SDK to your project, the next step is to configure and start the Kochava Tracker in code. Only your App GUID is required to start the tracker with the default settings, which is the case for typical integrations.

We recommend starting the tracker as soon as the application starts, although this can be done later if needed. Starting the tracker as early as possible will provide more accurate session reporting and help to ensure the tracker has been started before using it. Keep in mind the tracker can only be configured and started once per launch.

  • import { KochavaTracker } from 'react-native-kochava-tracker';

KochavaTracker.instance.registerAndroidAppGuid("YOUR_ANDROID_APP_GUID");
KochavaTracker.instance.registerIosAppGuid("YOUR_IOS_APP_GUID");
KochavaTracker.instance.start();

  • import KochavaTracker from 'react-native-kochava-tracker';

var configMapObject = {}
configMapObject[KochavaTracker.PARAM_ANDROID_APP_GUID_STRING_KEY] = "YOUR_ANDROID_APP_GUID";
configMapObject[KochavaTracker.PARAM_IOS_APP_GUID_STRING_KEY] = "YOUR_IOS_APP_GUID";
KochavaTracker.configure(configMapObject);

Confirm the Integration

 

SDK WAYPOINT: At this point basic integration is complete and the Kochava SDK will begin reporting session activity and attributing installs.

 

Where to Go From Here:

Now that you have completed integration you are ready to utilize the many features offered by the Kochava SDK. Continue on to Using the SDK and choose a topic.
