v1.0.2
The installation of an application onto an Android device is done through another app - an installer app. The most commonly used installer is Google Play - the default application store on compliant Android devices. Applications on Android are identified by their application ID (formerly called package name). The SDK is able to provide the application ID of the installer app that was responsible for installing the application that integrates the SDK.
Examples of Well Known Installers
