Does FB ads track actual installation or just an "install" button click? - facebook

I'm about to use Facebook to advertise my app.
here's my question, for data tracking in FB analytics:
Is this data the actual app installation? OR
is it just how many people click on "Install" button?
Thank you

In order to track installs you need to integrate the Facebook SDK or use an SDK of one of the Mobile Measurement Partners.
See the Mobile Ads guide.

How to integrate Facebook Pixel Sdk in flutter

I want to integrate the facebook pixel sdk in flutter. Can anyone help me that how i can integrate that in my flutter project
For native app development, Facebook SDK is required.
Flutter Facebook Login Package will provide you, not only the login but also the required SDK.
Next, Facebook_App_Events Package, which is going to help you in sending tracked data to FB, for eg. when a person clicks to watch a video on your app or makes a purchase etc.
An app event is an action that takes place in your app or on your web
page such as a person installing your app or completing a purchase.
Facebook App Events allows you to track these events to view
analytics, measure ad performance, and build audiences for ad
targeting.

How can I determine if an app was installed from a Facebook Ad?

We have a multiplatform service and we give our users a 30 day trial. A user can sign up on iOS, use the web version and finally do the payment on Android... even if it's weird, its a possible. The database is shared between all platforms
We are using Facebook Ads to generate App installs but we don't know how to do the conversions' attribution properly. The main problem is that if, for example, a user install the app from a Facebook app but he end up paying from the web version we lost track that the origin of this user was the ad.
I would like to know if it's possible to determine using the Facebook SDK, on the first run of the app, if the user comes from a Facebook Ad and in that case I would store that information in our database to do the attribution once the purshase is done. Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!

Adobe AIR Facebook login setup

I need to implement facebook login in Adobe AIR app for Desktop/Mobile.
I saw some docs on the code required for this.
My concern is, which platform should be selected in facebook apps console. Is it web ? Then what should be the web urls & where to place them ?
Well if you are building a mobile app, then you might want to select Android or iOS depending on the platform. If you are building the same app for both platforms then select any one of those and later under settings of your app dashboard you can click on Add Platform and add the other one. If your app has a canvas presence then you can add that as well later on. Regardless of what you pick initially, you can always add/edit platforms on your app dashboard.

How does Facebook attribute a mobile app installation to a specific Facebook Mobile App Install Ad?

There are several questions on SO that touch on this, but the KEY question I need answered is this:
How does Facebook attribute an installation of a mobile app to a specific NewsFeed Mobile App Install Ad? Corollary: In the Facebook Insights dashboard, is the Mobile App Installations tab recording JUST installs derived from Mobile App Install Ads? Or is this capturing ALL installations?
It seems that the PublishInstall method is called every time the app is installed (assuming the Facebook SDK is integrated). How do I know Facebook is ONLY counting installs derived from the ad?
If anyone can source to something that would be the best, but an answer from knowledge would be great too.
Thanks!
