In case you wish to get your application Pre-embedded in phones before they are shipped to the market, then you can contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to get the same done.

Note : Installs will be counted only when user open the application for the first time.

AdGyde can track the New Users in this case and show it under the Pre-Embed / Any Channel. Because attribution tools count installs on First open, therefore the count shown will be Activated Pre-embed device count and not All Pre-embedded device count.
To track the New Users under Pre-Embed channel, the Pre-Embed channel needs to be Hardcoded in the application before the APK is shared with the OEM partner.

The process is quite similar to Side Load Campaign therefore follow the steps listed in the next section

Methods to track Android attribution through Google Play Store and Side-Load is supported by AdGyde.

In case you wish to track the installs through multiple Sources of Side-Load like different OEM App Stores, then the developer needs to either pass GAID in the measurement link or create separate Hardcoded APKs for each source.

To track the campaign in Dashboard the developer needs to Hardcode the Channel and Campaign ID in the application before sharing the APK to the required OEM App Store.

How to hardcode Channel and Campaign ID

• Pass the following String as parameter in AdGyde.init(this, "Your Appkey", "ChannelName") function
  Where ChannelName = ChannelName$CampaignId
  Example: Loopback$125
