   Hi @Sotatek-QuanDo

   Thank you for reaching out. Here are some pointers to help answer your questions.

   Does react-native-adjust automatically request ATT at any point? Or is ATT completely handled by the developer?

   No, react-native-adjust doesn't automatically request ATT at any point. Here is the developer documentation for enabling ATT functionality on app side

   When testing with Adjust Testing Console to verify installs using IDFA:

   The device does NOT appear if I do not implement ATT.

   To search the device’s ID with IDFA, you must prompt the user for their consent. This requires integrating Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework into your app. The Adjust SDK records the user’s authorization status and transmits it to Adjust’s servers with each request.

   Is ATT required for install tracking on iOS when using react-native-adjust, if I am only using it for install tracking? ( As i'm understanding, for my testing purpose, to show device info on Testing Console, I have to request ATT )

   You may also search for the device using the IDFV and ADID values if you choose not to enable ATT for your app.

   Hi, @Aditi3

   Thank you for the clarification.

   I would like to confirm one more point regarding searching devices in the Testing Console. In my current testing:

   • The device has already granted ATT permission, so IDFA is available.
   • When I search using IDFA, I am able to find the device information in the Testing Console successfully.
   • However, when I search using IDFV, the console returns "Advertising ID not found."

   Based on your explanation that devices can also be searched using IDFV or ADID when ATT is not enabled, I would like to clarify:

   1. Is IDFV actually supported for searching devices in the Adjust Testing Console, or does the console only support IDFA / ADID for device lookup?
   2. If IDFV is not supported in the Testing Console, is there any recommended way to verify that IDFV-based tracking is working correctly when ATT is not implemented?
   3. I only use Adjust for tracking install recording from AppStore. Without ATT, does react-native-adjust increase install recording when User install my application?

   Thank you for your support.

   Yes, the testing console supports retrieving device data using IDFV. Please validate the IDFV once on your side. If it still doesn't work, I recommend contacting the support@adjust.com with your IDFV, and they'll help you debug this further.
