any way to track install_referrer for sideloaded android app? -

i know apps dl play store able pass referral data, there way pass data sideloaded app? let's if want promote app, , have 10 affiliates. want sideload app. correct way can track traffic doing 10 separate builds? or if there's way send data install_referrer?

from understanding, way trigger install_referrer through google play store. if that's case, there easy way builds? in case if have on hundreds of affiliates later.
