Determine installation of the app from Facebook

Question

I am using in my app Facebook's Mobile App Ads for Installs. That means I can see when people install my app from Facebook along with the conversion rates using Facebook's dashboard.

My question: Is there a way to know that from code? I mean, is there a way to know when the user installed and launched the app from Facebook versus installed and launched from the App Store?

Thanks!

Using the public iOS APIs the answer is definitely No. You can only catch if your app is launched from a push notification.

A workaround is to create a URL scheme and track the events on your own (when this scheme is called). The official documentation for this is here.
