iOS: Detect the source of the iOS app installation programmatically (inside the installed app) [duplicate]

Question

I would like to know if there is a way to detect how the user has found my app in the AppStore.
For example if there is some parameter that I can concatenate to the URL of my app in the AppStore and get it inside the installed app.

It might be http://itunes.apple.com/app/SOME-APP-ID?mt=8&source=Facebook
In the example from above I would like to receive the "Facebook" string inside the app...

Thank you.

Answer 1

Nope.

You should ask Apple by opening a Radar, though I wouldn't hold your breath... We've been waiting for analytics since 2008!

Answer 2

I have a friend who adds a step, using Google Analytics URL Builder to send users to his website with an auto-redirect from there to his appstore link. I haven't actually tried it myself, but he claims it works.
