INSTALL\_REFERRER Looks promising [https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/tagmanager/InstallReferrerReceiver.html](https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/tagmanager/InstallReferrerReceiver.html) But not sure how we can implement this in ionic… The broadcast receiver needs to be present somewhere in the app but where ?? Is the question ---

It would need to be done in a Cordova plugin, using native code. If you use Google Analytics that should track the referrer for you automatically. ---

There’s a [google-analytics-plugin](https://github.com/danwilson/google-analytics-plugin) - also wrapped by [ngCordova](http://ngcordova.com/docs/plugins/googleAnalytics/) - if you simply want to to [track installs](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v4/campaigns#google-play-campaigns) in Google Analytics. If you need to access the install referrer in your own code I’m afraid you’d need to [write your own](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/4.0.0/guide_hybrid_plugins_index.md.html) Cordova plugin. ---
