We have a Android and iOS version of our app. The number of active users on iOS is aproximately 25% of the active user on the Android app.
It happens that the count of Daily New Users of the Android app is always far less then the iOS's. And the this number does not seems to match the increase in Daily Active Users.
The app is br.com.bb.android.
Anyone has an idea of what may be causing this?
Would be great if someone in the Fabric team could take a look into this.
Mike from Fabric here.
For apps where they may come pre-installed or not be opened for a length of time, then the installs may not be counted as a daily new user.
A new user will only be counted if the time between downloading the app and opening it (with foreground activity) is less then 7 days.

I am having difficulty reconciling the app install count from iTunes Connect and Facebook Analytics. I have read other posts that they are different, but in those posts iTunes is always higher. In my case iTunes is LOWER, and never lower by a consistent amount. This is troubling me because, obviously, I make money on the number of downloads. How can I reconcile the two?
Please refer to Apple definition of Installations:
The total number of times your app has been installed on an iOS device with iOS 8 or later. Redownloads on the same device, downloads to multiple devices sharing the same Apple ID, and Family Sharing installations are included. App updates aren’t counted. Totals are based on app users who agree to share their data with you.
App Analytic Guide
The last sentence is makes it very clear:
Totals are based on app users who agree to share their data with you.
So if they did't agree you won't see them in the total count.
Maybe its better to look at the App Units.
I'm almost ready with developing my first windows phone app. Can anyone tell me how long it will take to get the app in the store. For ios apps the apps must be approved, that usually takes about a week, for Android it usually takes only a couple of hours. How is it for Windows, does Microsoft approve the app?
Second question: I need a url for the app that refers to the windows app store?
Is the url known in advance or do I have to publish first before I know the exact app store url of my app?
Thanks for the help!
First question: At this moment it is around 3 to 4 hours for a republish and a day for normal a full publication. Just submitted an app last week. These times can change, one of my (new) apps was through the publication in 1 hour. Do keep in mind that it can take some time before you see it in the stores (up to 24 hours)
Second question:
When you submit your publication you can see the url of your app.
I don't know if this began commensurate with the release of iOS 9 or Xcode 7.1, but for the past week or so, my app updates (which I am beta testing through TestFlight) that I upload to iTunesConnect are not being automatically pushed out to my test team. Anyone seen this as well?
Update 1: I don't know if it is coincidental, but when (and only when) I go to iTunesConnect, select the app I am testing, then select the TestFlight tab, does the update get pushed...huh?
Just wanted to chime in and say that this is also occurring with some of my applications. We had one application test build not go out for 2 days because we didn't try to login to iTunes Connect.
Not entirely sure what is going on at Apples end, but it's definitely a weird bug...
The Apple servers have been slow the past couple days effecting many different areas such as submitting apps, etc.
This question is no longer active - I have been officially notified by the company that we're dropping Android and going with a system that is specifically designed for business use.
In our two sister companies we installed almost 500 android phones assuming they'd have security capabilities similar to Linux that would allow us to provide business phones to our employees but limit their access to apps. Unfortunately we've since found out that we were hugely mistaken. Android has decided that whoever has possession of the phone should have full access to everything. Unfortunately for us this has been a business nightmare, with huge data overages, employees downloading and installing anything and everything they can get their hands on from Play Store, the apps we need to run constantly being stopped by the task manager because too many apps are running at the same time with our employees arguing that the apps are buggy or the phone is broken. Due to our type of operation, the phones are passed from one employee to another often for weeks at a time before a supervisor or technician has access to them.
We absolutely need to either secure the phones or get rid of them. So...
From within a service, how do I capture when an employee clicks on an unauthorized app either from the desktop or from the applications menu? I've spent the last 2 days searching Google for an answer, but have turned up nothing. I know it can be done, because I have a couple of apps on my personal phone that do so.
We're using Android 2.2
Why not uninstall Google play store from the phones? And any other apps which are not needed?
It might be easiest too just install a parental control app. Here's an example, though this particular one may not meet all your needs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiddoware.kidsplace
Have a look at the 3CX Mobile Device Manager. The sign up process is free and easy. Then you just need to download the app to each phone from GooglePlay and get it set up. I would be interested in knowing if you proceed with it and if it does everything you need it to.
I am new to Newsstand App. I have gone through many references of the same. But I have some doubts. Here is my confusions :
1) Consider a user installs a newsstand app on the month October. But the same application have issues on the months from JAN to SEP also. So when the user installs the app, do need to alert him of the previous issues of the publisher? or just the issue of current month only? Or when the user installs app, do need to list all the issues available with the Publisher and all are locked? or the issues will be listed only if he subscribed for any particular period?
2) Regarding the In App purchase, where should give the purchase section in the app, like in a separate page or along with listed issues. For ex:- When the user install app, it contains many issues listed and do need to give a purchase icon in each cell of the tableview list, if the issue is not purchased? Otherwise do need to show the purchase icon in another view? eg:- 1 Month Subscription or 1 Year Subscription
3) How restoring of issues can be handled? eg:- User may subscribed to 1 month subscription on the months AUG and SEP and the app was deleted from the device. Then again he installed, how this situation can be handled? How the client device will identify whether the user already purchased a few issues in the previous month? Does Store Kit provides any help or do need to handle all the purchase info in the web server or with apple server?
Thanks in advance
1) & 2) are up to you & your personal design choices.
3) Subscriptions use the standard IAP restore StoreKit functions, found in Apple's documentation.
