Build AppsFlyer
NOT REALLYback to the verdict
Before step 1
you will need
- A server with a public HTTPS domain for click and postback endpoints
- Ability to add a small SDK or HTTP call to your own iOS/Android app
- Apple App Site Association and Android assetlinks.json files served for deep linking
- Your own ad account exports if you want spend numbers next to installs
Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for AppsFlyer. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- Self-attributing network data from Meta, Google, TikTok and Apple Search Ads, which is restricted to certified measurement partners
- SKAdNetwork and AdAttributionKit postback handling, decoding and conversion value modeling
- Install and click fraud detection, which depends on cross-advertiser device data you will never have
- Postbacks and audience syncs to thousands of ad partners and MMP-only integrations
- A maintained SDK that survives every OS release, ATT prompt change and privacy policy update
- Deterministic cross-device and cross-platform identity resolution
