Get Install ID

SDK Version Selection

Choose your SDK version below:

• Apptrove SDK → AppTroveSDK.getAppTroveId() (Recommended)
• Trackier SDK → TrackierSDK.getTrackierId() (Deprecating August 2026)

Use the tabs below for your chosen SDK. Under Apptrove SDK, use Swift / Objective-C (Swift is default).

The install ID is a unique UUID the SDK creates on first launch and stores on the device. It identifies this app install (not your login user ID). Use it for S2S events (tr_id), uninstall tracking, support/QA matching, and joining first-party data.

SDK	Method
Apptrove	AppTroveSDK.getAppTroveId()
Trackier	TrackierSDK.getTrackierId()

note

Call this after SDK initialization. An empty value usually means the SDK has not created the ID yet.

Usage

✓ Apptrove SDK (Recommended)

Swift

import ApptroveSDK // or import apptrove_ios_sdk

// After AppTroveSDK.initialize(config:)
let installId = AppTroveSDK.getAppTroveId()
print("Install ID: \(installId)")
// Send to your backend for S2S tr_id

Objective-C

@import apptrove_ios_sdk;

// After [AppTroveSDK initializeWithConfig:config]
NSString *installId = [AppTroveSDK getAppTroveId];
NSLog(@"Install ID: %@", installId);

Trackier SDK (Deprecating August 2026)

import TrackierSDK // or import trackier_ios_sdk

let installId = TrackierSDK.getTrackierId()
print("Install ID: \(installId)")

Use cases

1. Server-to-Server (S2S) events

Pass the install ID as tr_id on S2S Events:

{
  "app_token": "abcf2270-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-34903c6e1d53",
  "tr_id": "5da45091-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-b2a1587e0d8b",
  "event_id": "sEMWSCTXeu"
}

tr_id must match getAppTroveId() / getTrackierId(). If omitted, send at least one of gaid, android_id, idfa, or idfv.

Flow: initialize SDK → read install ID → send to backend → backend uses it as tr_id.

2. Uninstall tracking

Use the install ID with APNs uninstall tracking or analytics pipelines as needed. See Uninstall Tracking (APNs).

3. Support and QA

Log the install ID, then search Logs → Install Logs in the panel by that ID.

4. Join with your user ID

Your system	SDK
Login / account ID	setUserID
Install ID (tr_id)	getAppTroveId() / getTrackierId()

Do not use the install ID alone as a lifelong account key — it usually changes after reinstall.

Find it in the panel

1. Open Logs → Install Logs
2. Open an install
3. Copy the ID — same value as the SDK method

Best practices

• Initialize the SDK before reading the ID
• Sync the ID to your backend when you need S2S
• Expect a new ID after app reinstall

Troubleshooting

Issue	Check
Empty ID	SDK not initialized, or called too early
S2S not matching	Confirm tr_id equals the SDK install ID
New ID after reinstall	Expected behavior
