Set up SKAN and conversion values

StoreKit Ad Network (SKAN) is Apple's framework for app install and reinstall attribution. The SKAN workflow goes like this:

1. Apple gathers attribution information and notifies the relevant ad network.
2. The network sends a postback with this information to Adjust.
3. Adjust displays SKAN data in Datascape and Data Canvas.

Disable SKAN communication

The Adjust SDK registers for SKAN attribution upon initialization by default. To disable this behavior, call the disableSkanAttribution method on your AdjustConfig2dx instance.

1
AdjustConfig2dx adjustConfig = AdjustConfig2dx(appToken, environment);
2
adjustConfig.disableSkanAttribution();
3
Adjust2dx::initSdk(adjustConfig);

Update conversion values

Conversion values are a mechanism used to track user behavior in SKAN. You can map 64 conditions to values from 0 through 63 and send this integer value to SKAN on user install. This gives you insight into how your users interact with your app in the first few days.

If you manage your conversion values with Adjust, the servers update this value in the SDK. You can also update this value by using the updateSkanConversionValue method. This method wraps Apple's updatePostbackConversionValue method. You MUST pass the following arguments:

fineValue (int)

Your conversion value. Must be between0and63.

coarseValue (std::string)

The coarse conversion value. This value is used if your app doesn't have sufficient installs to reach the privacy threshold. The following values are allowed:

• "low" (SKAdNetworkCoarseConversionValueLow)
• "medium" (SKAdNetworkCoarseConversionValueMedium)
• "high" (SKAdNetworkCoarseConversionValueHigh)

lockWindow (bool)

Whether to send the postback before the conversion window ends (true).

errorCallback (function)

A function that receives any error message returned by SKAN as astring.

1
Adjust2dx::updateSkanConversionValue(6, "low", true, [](std::string error) {
2
    std::cout << "Error while updating conversion value: " << error;
3
});

Listen for changes to conversion values

If you use Adjust to manage conversion values, the Adjust's servers send conversion value updates to the SDK. You can set up a callback function to listen for these changes using the setSkanUpdatedCallback method. Pass your function as an argument.

1
adjustConfig.setSkanUpdatedCallback([](
2
    std::unordered_map<std::string, std::string> data) {
3
    std::cout << "\nConversion value: " << data["conversionValue"];
4
    std::cout << "\nCoarse value: " << data["coarseValue"];
5
    std::cout << "\nLock window: " << data["lockWindow"];
6
    std::cout << "\nError: " << data["error"];
7
});
