In numeral 4 at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/app-ads/sdk#install-tracking ("Enable Install Tracking"), they say "To enable install tracking call the App Events logger once your application becomes active.". However, I implemented the following line successfully, but it does not seem to be tracking installs:
AppEventsLogger.activateApp(this);
In the Facebook Analytics for Apps reports, I see that the activateApp() method is "App Launches"/, not "App Installs". How can I track installs in Facebook Analytics?
In the SDK >= 4.19 we simplified the track of installs (New Users metric) and activate app (App Launches metric). One should just make sure ApplicationManifest.xml is correctly configured and simply bundle our Android SDK to the App. The SDK will be auto initialized and both install event and activate app will be sent.
