android - Working of INSTALL_REFERRER Broadcast -

i want know right working of install_referrer broadcast referrals. ensure not possible 'exploit' apps.

so far, have understood:

user gets referral link of app user downloads on device just after installation, broadcast sent google play app this broadcast received app tracking referral.

will broadcast fired 1 time again if:

user downloads app same account, device uninstalls app , installs 1 time again (on same device)

in general, far know, should fire in both of cases. if want create sure count once, should check flag of sort have on own server.

here documentation back upwards this: https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/tagmanager/installreferrerreceiver.html --

"the google play com.android.vending.install_referrer intent broadcast when app installed google play store. broadcastreceiver listens intent, passing install referrer info gtm mobile apps , google analytics."
