How to track iPhone App installs and referrer

Question

Is there any way to track the iPhone App installs and referrer whithout using any third party like appflyer etc..

I would like to track if any user installs the app by clicking on appstore url.

Appreciate your help.

You could call your own web-service when the user first launches your application and pass along the identifierForVendor. You could then store the date and that id to track how many installs you have and when the install took place. Use NSUserDefaults to store a BOOL (NSNumber) indicating the web-service has been called.
