Usage

react-native-advertising-id module provides a method getAdvertisingId() that returns a Promise. This resolves in an object containing advertisingId as a string representing the GAID/AAID or IDFA depending on the platform, and isLimitAdTrackingEnabled indicating wether the user opted to restrict the usage of his AdvertisingId or not. (Note: If enabled on iOS, advertisingId will result in an empty string).

import RNAdvertisingId from 'react-native-advertising-id';

  RNAdvertisingId.getAdvertisingId()
    .then(response => {
      this.setState({
        advertisingId: response.advertisingId,
        isLimitAdTrackingEnabled: response.isLimitAdTrackingEnabled,
      });
    })
    .catch(error => console.error(error));
