User ID uses "visitorId" in the doc

[mattab]

we noticed in the "User ID" readme that it says "matomoTracker.visitorId" (See: https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo-sdk-ios#custom-user-id)

-> would it be possible to also use "matomoTracker.userId" instead maybe for consistency?

Hi @mattab, thanks for the hint and your suggestion 🙇.

Let's

• rename the visitorId property of the MatomoTracker to userId
• Update the README in this regard
• add a deprecated visitorId mapping to userId to the MatomoTracker with a proper deprecation message (we will keep this until the next major release of the SDK)

Hi,

It would be great to have both parameters in the sdk. I mean the ("cid" and "uid" keys following this documentation: https://developer.matomo.org/api-reference/tracking-api)
In my usecase I need to setup visitorId ("cid" key ) manually after user converts from mobile website to the app.

I'm using branch deeplinks with custom parameters and one of them is the pk_vid from the website.
This way it is possible to track users switching from website to the app in a single visit (assuming that the same tracker is used on website and in the app).

Being able to see user flow as a whole is a great feature, since the mobile website in many cases is the real starting point in the conversion funnel.

@mplackowski I moved this to #259

@mattab This got changed and will be part of the next release.

Thank you @brototyp 👍 so good to bring clarity and consistency wherever possible
