Facebook iOS SDK- Mobile App Install Tracking not working

Question

I\'m using Facebook SDK version 4.5.1 in my application. The APP ID, URL scheme, App display name etc have been incorporated into the info.plist correctly. We have Authenticatio

Answer 1

I managed to get this working eventually. Haven't got the confirmation officially from Facebook dev team on this but it turned out that the "Advanced settings" section in the App Facebook Setting has an "Collect the Apple Advertising Identifier (IDFA) with App Events" switch which was turned Off for our App. The App was created a pretty long time back and this had to be turned On. Although the description below it seems to suggest that this might not have been the real reason behind the issue, I can confirm that installs started reporting once we had this turned ON.

Answer 2

You must have the iPhone Facebook App installed for their analytics to work.

I had the exact same symptoms, and after installing the FB app it worked. Seems really like they're bypassing sandboxing somehow, but there you go.

Answer 3

Facebook is tracking organic install now. I also faced similar situation and i came across the concept of organic app install tracking.

Just install the app on a fresh device (which was not used with my application earlier). You will be able to see the install in the facebook dashboard after few minutes.

Thats all!

Hope this helps
