    Hello Guys,

    Need a little help, We want to identify the APK installation source, The reason we want to track that is because our app is being distributed on other Android app stores and we want to block those users. Kindly lets is know if there is a way to do the same.

    Thank you,
    Raviraj.

    Hey @raviraj_vdy,

    This is something that is currently not possible with Unity Analytics. If we implemented a feature like this I am not entirely sure it would give you the ability to block the users from playing your game, but instead I imagine we would be able to segment users according to install location. If you would like us to take a look into this would you mind showing your support and adding/voting for it here, https://feedback.unity3d.com/forums...f8=✓&status=0&category=analytics&view=hottest I did a quick search on Unity Answers and found this which might help point you in the right direction, http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/521417/identify-which-android-market-app-is-downloaded.html

    Hi @raviraj_vdy,

    I apologize for the late response! I did a search and was not able to find anything but I did reach out to the some members of the Unity Asset Store to see if they had any suggestions. I will let you know if I hear anything that sounds promising!

    Hello mpinol,

    Thanks for the support, We figure out the same, the solution is to pass the install name from android native to unity for which we made a simple plugin which returns the installer name inside Unity which we can cross check with googles installer package name.

    Thank you,
    Raviraj.
