how to disable install track

[yangcheng]

Hi, I am using a mixpanel for my app but I don't need to use installrefer for my case, however, if I remove
implementation 'com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:2.2' from my build.gradle, I got errors when I try to call mixpanel API to just capture event. Is there a way to use mixpanel API without adding installreferrer:installreferrer dependency ?

I am tried 5.9 and 6.0-beta-1, all have same issue.
Thanks

hi @yangcheng , thanks for bringing it up! Is there any concern not to include implementation 'com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:2.2'? We are actually considering deprecating the install track feature and we'd like to get any feedback.

sorry for late reply, we had a national holiday last week.
I don't have concerns, I'd prefer a framework where I only include what I actually use. so if I don't use installrefer, then I should be allowed not to include it but still able to capture normal event

Is there any concern not to include implementation 'com.android.installreferrer:installreferrer:2.2'

The only concern is the error message. I am not sure if it's a real error or just a FYI warning.

Hi @yangcheng , we have released v6.0.0 which no longer contains this feature anymore so it should be good. I'm closing this one now.
