Install the free Facebook SDK to learn more about the people using your app.

The Facebook Software Developer Kit can help your business with measurement and tracking capabilities. While you do not need the SDK to run mobile app ads on Facebook, it does allow you to track and measure app installs that are driven by your ads, as well as optimize your ad delivery for people most likely to install, take specific in-app actions or those who are high-value customers.

You can install the Facebook SDK on your own, work with your app's developer to have them install it for you, or get help from a Facebook Marketing Partner.
