Just use Storage to get the referrer value:

import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';

const { Storage } = Plugins;

...

const ret = await Storage.get({ key: 'referrer' });
console.log('referrer: ', ret.value);

Connect your device, allow USB debuginng and open a console to execute adb shell command:

$ adb shell
$ am broadcast -a com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER -n <package-name>/com.eladcohen.capainstallref.Receiver --es "referrer" "YEHAAA"
