How to track referrer in a Flutter app after Play Store install?

How to track referrer in a Flutter app after Play Store install?

Question: Hey Flutter devs,

I'm working on a referral system for my Flutter app (UDealZone) which is currently live on playstore, and I want a seamless experience where:

✅ Users click one link → Redirected to Play Store → Install the app ✅ After installing, we should know who referred them ✅ No need for users to manually enter the referral code ✅ Works even if they install now or later

Currently, Android App Links don't support deferred deep linking, and solutions like Branch.io & Firebase Dynamic Links are getting deprecated.

👉 What’s the best way to achieve this in 2025?

Should I track referrals via Google Play Install Referrer API? Any reliable backend solutions that can store and retrieve referrer data? How are you handling this in your apps? Would love to hear your thoughts!

You can also try branch.io. It works just like Firebase Dynamic Link, and the function you described is called Deferred Deeplinking
