react-native-google-play-install-referrer

Retrieve referral details on app install from Google Play.

The type of referral information we can get from Google Play by using Google Play Install Referrer:

• The referrer URL of the installed package.
• The timestamp, in seconds, of when a referrer click happened (both client- and server-side).
• The timestamp, in seconds, of when an installation began (both client- and server-side).
• The app's version at the time when the app was first installed.
• Whether the user has interacted with your app's instant experience in the past 7 days.
