Attribution Analytics Mobile SDKs

Many clients leverage TUNE attribution by implementing our native Android SDK and iOS SDK, but you can use any number of other SDK resources to help you implement our attribution analytics and begin making the most of your advertising efforts and conversion metrics.

In addition to supporting Android, iOS & tvOS, Javascript and Windows natively, TUNE offers support for seven extensions/plugins of the most popular development technologies in the mobile advertising industry, as well as a Javascript SDK for HTML 5 apps.

To easily implement the TUNE SDK in your mobile app, we've created quick start guides for all supported platforms:

Native SDKs
- Android
- iOS
- tvOS
- Javascript
- Windows
Plugins
Other Integrations
- Segment

After you implement the TUNE SDK in your app and start logging sessions, you can move on to logging a wide variety of in-app events such as registrations and in-app purchases.

The Tune SDK natively supports measurement of many In-App Events. To build your own custom event, see Event Builder.

Native SDKs

Android Quick Start

📘
Latest Version
The latest Android SDK is version 6.1.2

The TUNE SDK for the native Android platform provides application session and event logging functionality.

The TUNE SDK for Android is available in the form of a gradle dependency. Our SDK is compatible with all Android devices running Android API 14 and above and is approximately 128 KB in size.

If you are migrating from an SDK version that includes now deprecated In-App Marketing capabilities, please see Migrating from 5.X.X to 6.X.X.

Installing the SDK with Gradle

Install via the TUNE jCenter distribution:

Ensure that jCenter is included as a repository in your Gradle file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        [...]
        jcenter()
    }
    [...]
}

Add the following line to your Gradle dependency stanza:
```
api 'com.tune:tune-marketing-console-sdk:6.1.2'
```

This automatically adds the TUNE SDK to your project.

📘
Manual Installation
To manually install the TUNE Android SDK via the AAR distribution, please follow these instructions.

Code Changes

Google Play Services

Install the Google Play Services SDK and import it into your project in order for the SDK to collect the Google Advertising ID. If you’re using Gradle, you may choose to add only the ads library to your dependencies:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:X.X.X'

Replace X.X.X with the latest version from https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup. You can use any version of Google Play Services greater than 4.0.0

📘
Notes

When integrating the TUNE Android SDK, it's required that you set your compileSDKVersion to at least 27. It's not required to update your targetSDKVersion.

Always compile against that latest Android version even if you don't increase your targetSDKVersion. More information about these gradle properties on https://developer.android.com/studio/build/index.html#module-level.

If you are already including the full Google Play Services library (implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:X.X.X') then you do not need to add the -basement subpackage.

ProGuard

If using ProGuard, exclude the TUNE and Google Advertising ID classes from obfuscation in your ProGuard configuration file with the following lines:

-keep public class com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.** { *; }

To further reduce the size of the SDK, you can:

-assumenosideeffects class android.util.Log {
    public static boolean isLoggable(java.lang.String, int);
    public static int v(...);
    public static int d(...);
}

If you wish to do further optimization, view our article on Avoiding the Dalvik 65K Method Limit.

Android Manifest File

Add the following sections to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<application ... >
    <receiver android:name="com.tune.TuneTracker">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
</application>

Things to Keep In Mind

TUNE uses the BroadcastReceiver for attribution if your application is running a TUNE SDK version below 4.15.0 and therefore cannot rely on the Google Play App Install Referrer API to return the Install Referrer plus timestamp.
If you have multiple SDKs implemented in your Android app that do install attribution, then you may have multiple Android INSTALL_REFERRER receivers as described at Multiple Android Install Referrers.
To ensure that the INSTALL_REFERRER is collected properly, please visit our Testing the Google Play Install Referrer article.

Initialize TUNE SDK

Create a new Application class, or update an existing class, to extend from TuneApplication, and initialize the TUNE SDK:

import com.tune.Tune;
import com.tune.application.TuneApplication;

public class MyApplication extends TuneApplication {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        // Initialize TUNE
        Tune.init(this, "your_advertiser_ID", "your_conversion_key");
    }
}

📘
Set Your Own Values
your_advertiser_ID and your_conversion_key correlate with the Advertiser ID and Conversion Key that TUNE provides when you created your Mobile App in TUNE. For information about the advertiser ID and conversion key, please see our article Finding Advertiser ID and Conversion Key.

If your Application class already extends another class, you may instead call registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks with TuneActivityLifecycleCallbacks after Tune.init:

import com.tune.Tune;
import com.tune.application.TuneActivityLifecycleCallbacks;

public class MyApplication extends SomeOtherClass {
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        // Initialize TUNE
        Tune.init(this, "your_advertiser_ID", "your_conversion_key");

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14) {
            // Make sure you register this AFTER Tune.init
            registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(new TuneActivityLifecycleCallbacks());
        }
    }
}

Modify the AndroidManifest.xml by adding an android:name field to the <application> tag in order to use the custom Application you created (unless already set).

<application
    android:name=".MyApplication" />

'your_advertiser_IDandyour_conversion_key` correlate with the Advertiser ID and Conversion Key that TUNE provides when you create your Apple TV App in Attribution Analytics. For information about the advertiser ID and conversion key, please visit Finding Advertiser ID and Conversion Key.

Things to Keep in Mind

The TUNE SDK for tvOS supports automatic measurement of successful in-app-purchase events. This feature can be optionally enabled through the corresponding Tune setter. Once auto-measurement is enabled, you do not need to and should not explicitly measure successful "purchase" events to avoid duplicate event measurement. For more info, please visit IAP Event Measurement.

The TUNE SDK for tvOS automatically collects the Identifier for Advertising (IFA) when AdSupport.framework has been imported. IFA collection improves event attribution on iOS. When you use IFA in your tvOS app, make sure you identify the purpose of its use when submitting your app in App Store Connect. If you decide against collecting IFA, learn about the Implications of Removing Apple’s IFA.

For information about deferred deep linking, see Implementing a Deferred Deep Link.

Set Your Own Values
your_advertiser_ID and your_conversion_key correlates with the Advertiser ID that TUNE provides when you create your Mobile App in Attribution Analytics. For information about the advertiser ID, visit Finding Advertiser ID and Conversion Key.
https://your.url.here/path/to/attribution-version.js and com.example.appname should also be set to the URL where the Javascript SDK is hosted on your server and your app's package name.

Things to Keep in Mind

Your app’s version string (or build number) is used to determine when users have updated your app.
To increase the consistency and ease of attribution, you can pass native device identifiers into your javascript from your native shell.
To measure re-engagement, you must collect deep link info from your native code.
To pass the Google Play referrer, create your own receiver for the install referrer, get the referrer value, and then pass it into the JavaScript from native code, like you would with the device identifiers or re-engagement values. The SDK provides setReferrer for this value.

Windows Quick Start

Implementation

To implement the SDK:

Add the MobileAppTracking NuGet package to your project.
If your app is targeted for WP8, you should instead download the SDK from the MobileAppTracking site and add the WP8 DLL as a reference in your project, along with Json.NET and Bouncy Castle PCL.
Declare a MobileAppTracker object and instantiate it in your app. Where you instantiate a new class is a decision that is unique to your application and code design. Generally, you perform this step during creation of the first page of your app.

using MobileAppTracking;

private MobileAppTracker mobileAppTracker;

public MainPage()
{
    this.InitializeComponent();

    mobileAppTracker = MobileAppTracker.InitializeValues("your_advertiser_id", "your_conversion_key");

    mobileAppTracker.MeasureSession();
}

📘
Set Your Own Values
your_advertiser_ID and your_conversion_key correlate with the Advertiser ID and Conversion Key that MAT provides when you create your Mobile App in MAT. For information about the advertiser ID and conversion key, please visit Finding Advertiser ID and Conversion Key.

Confirm that the package name for your app is the same as the package name specified in MAT. Note that for the store, the package name for your app is set to a new unique value upon publishing, so after you publish, change the package name on the site to match. For testing purposes, set the same "test" value in both the app and MAT.

On Windows, MAT uses the following values for a package name:
- Windows Phone 8: WMAppManifest.xml → Product ID
- Windows Universal: Package.appxmanifest → Package name
For Windows Phone 8, enable the ID_CAP_IDENTITY_DEVICE capability in your WMAppManifest.xml file.

App Store Analytics

Downloading the Plugin

The TUNE plugin is available via Cocos2dx’s SDKBOX.

Before you integrate the TUNE plugin, make sure to add your app to the Attribution Analytics platform.

Implementation

To implement the downloaded plugin:

From your project folder, import the TUNE SDKBOX plugin:
```
sdkbox import tune
```
SDKBOX will output the steps you need to follow from the integration guide in the /doc folder inside the plugin file.
A basic integration will have AppDelegate.cpp look like this:

#include "AppDelegate.h"
#include "HelloWorldScene.h"
#include "PluginTune/PluginTune.h"

   USING_NS_CC;

   bool AppDelegate::applicationDidFinishLaunching() {
       sdkbox::PluginTune::init();

       return true;
   }

   // this function will be called when the app is active again
   void AppDelegate::applicationWillEnterForeground() {
       sdkbox::PluginTune::measureSession();
   }

Advertising Identifiers

To increase the consistency and ease of attribution, consider collecting device identifiers.

Android

In your app’s /proj.android/project.properties, make sure that the path to the Google Play Services SDK is correct.
In /proj.android/AndroidManifest.xml, make sure that the manifest contains the follow entry inside the <application> tags:

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
             android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

When this reference to the Google Play Services library is set up, the TUNE plugin will be able to collect the Google Advertising ID.

iOS

The Apple Advertising ID is automatically collected by the TUNE plugin. It requires you include AdSupport.framework in your iOS project. This is automatically added when installing the TUNE SDKBOX plugin on iOS.

The Google Advertising ID is automatically collected by the Unity plugin. It requires the following:

google-play-services_lib folder or play-services-basement.aar file in Assets/Plugins/Android

Special metadata added to the <application> tags in AndroidManifest.xml:

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
           android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />;

These will be automatically present with the above Android installation instructions.

iOS

The Apple Advertising ID is automatically collected by the Unity plugin.

Things to Keep in Mind

Deferred deep linking functionality is only available in the TUNE plugin for Unity versions 3.11.0+. For information about deferred deeplinking, please visit Implementing a Deferred Deep Link.
TUNE SDK v4.0+ for Android & v3.10+ for iOS automatically collects the geo location of the user's device to help improve location-based user segmentation. The location is collected only if the app has already requested and obtained end-user permissions; the TUNE SDK never asks for location access permission from the end-user. For more info, please visit Location Auto-Collection.

iOS

The Tune.Xamarin.iOS binding includes AdSupport which allows it to auto-collect the Apple Advertising Identifier.

SDK Integrations

Segment Quick Start

Our TUNE integration code is open sourced on GitHub. Feel free to check it out!

Getting Started

Once the Segment library is integrated, toggle TUNE on in your Segment integrations, adding your TUNE Advertiser ID and Conversion Key.

You can integrate TUNE via a server side or mobile integration (iOS and Android).

TUNE supports the identify and track methods.

📘
Note
This documentation is for the TUNE/Segment mobile integration. We recommend clients utilize this client-side integration for the most up-to-date, full-featured, and best supported experience with TUNE.

Additional features supported by the mobile integration include:

Facebook attribution
Attribution for re-engagement campaigns and deeplinking
Customizable event tracking

Identify

When you identify a user, we’ll set that user id in TUNE. If present, the email, phone, and username fields will automatically set corresponding user identifier fields in TUNE, to be sent with any future events.

Track

When you track an event, we will send that event to TUNE. If present, the revenue, currency, orderId, productId, andcategory fields will automatically map to corresponding fields for the event in TUNE.

Integration

Android

Add the TUNE Segment Integration dependency to your app build.gradle:
```
compile 'com.tune:tune-segment-integration:+'
```
Add the following permissions to your application’s AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

Add TUNE’s referrer receiver to your AndroidManifest.xml inside your app’s <application> tags:

<application>
         ...

         <receiver android:name="com.tune.TuneTracker">
             <intent-filter>
                 <action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
             </intent-filter>
         </receiver>
     </application>

Declare TUNE’s integration in your Analytics instance:

Analytics analytics = new Analytics.Builder(getApplicationContext(), "SEGMENT_WRITE_KEY")
       .use(TuneIntegration.FACTORY)
       .build();

iOS

Add the TUNE Segment Pod to your Podfile:
```
pod 'Segment-Tune'
```
Declare TUNE’s integration in your app delegate instance:

SEGAnalyticsConfiguration *config = [SEGAnalyticsConfiguration configurationWithWriteKey:@"SEGMENT_WRITE_KEY"];
     [config use:[SEGTuneIntegrationFactory instance]];
     [SEGAnalytics setupWithConfiguration:config];

Pass any deep link URLs to TUNE in your app delegate:

// iOS 9.0+ minimum target
   - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)app openURL:(NSURL *)url options:(NSDictionary<NSString *,id> *)options {
   // when the app is opened due to a deep link, call the Tune deep link setter NSString *sourceApplication = options[UIApplicationLaunchOptionsSourceApplicationKey];
   [Tune handleOpenURL:[url absoluteString] sourceApplication:sourceApplication];
   return YES;
   }

   // iOS 8.0 minimum target
   - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation { // when the app is opened due to a deep link, call the Tune deep link setter
   [Tune handleOpenURL:[url absoluteString] sourceApplication:sourceApplication];
   return YES;
   }

Settings

Segment lets you change these settings on the Integrations page, without having to touch any code.

Advertiser ID

The Advertiser ID found in your TUNE dashboard, used to identify your account.

Conversion Key

The Conversion Key found in your TUNE dashboard, used to identify your application and encrypt your request data.

📘
Note
Our Segment integration currently does not support In-App Marketing.

Testing, Troubleshooting, and Deployment

To test the TUNE SDK implementation in your mobile app, you can do so straight from the TUNE platform itself rather than creating a test environment. Please see Testing Your Mobile App.
TuneListener and TuneDelegate can be useful to make sure events are being measured and transmitted correctly. See Reading Server Responses for more information.
If your app already has a pre-existing user base (people who have already installed your app), TUNE has several options to flag these users as Pre-Existing Users to prevent attributing these users to a marketing partner. For information about migrating existing users, please see handle existing users prior to SDK implementation.
When you submit an app to the Apple App Store you may be asked whether your app includes cryptography. The Tune iOS SDK uses Apple's CommonCrypto library to AES encode data that is sent to the server (with 256 bit keys). We also use HTTPS. Please refer to our open source repository if you would like to review the details of how we are handling encryption: https://github.com/BranchMetrics/sdk-release/tree/master/sdk-ios/Tune
