npm install @influto/react-native-sdk
# or

Step 4: Initialize SDK

In your App.tsx or root component:

import InfluTo from '@influto/react-native-sdk';
import Purchases from 'react-native-purchases';

// In your app initialization
useEffect(() => {
  async function setup() {
    // 1. Initialize RevenueCat (do this first)
    Purchases.configure({
      apiKey: Platform.OS === 'ios' ? 'rcpk_ios_...' : 'rcpk_android_...'
    });

    // 2. Initialize InfluTo
    await InfluTo.initialize({
      apiKey: 'it_abc123...',  // From dashboard
      debug: __DEV__  // Enable logs in development
    });

    // 3. Check attribution (automatic!)
    const attribution = await InfluTo.checkAttribution();

    if (attribution.attributed) {
      console.log('User came from:', attribution.referralCode);
      // Referral code is already set in RevenueCat automatically!
    }

    // 4. Identify user
    const customerInfo = await Purchases.getCustomerInfo();
    await InfluTo.identifyUser(customerInfo.originalAppUserId);
  }

  setup();
}, []);
