I’m in the process of adding Google Analytics to my iPhone app, but I’m not at all experienced with Analytics. One thing I would like it to tell me is how many unique people are using the app.
Suppose one user were to use her iPhone app on ten different wireless networks, would Google Analytics iOS SDK interpret this as ten different users? What identifies a unique user – the device ID, an IP address?
Thanks for any help!
Tristan
If the one phone uses the app from two different networks, it still counts as one user.
It would seem the iOS Analytics SDK just sends a cookie (not actually stored in [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage]) with the request to identify that it’s the same person.
edit: Turns out this is wrong. Our google analytics profile has twice as many “absolute unique visitors” as we have devices. We haven’t released the tracked version yet.
edit2: It appears that when you delete the app, then reinstall it, Analytics will count two absolute unique visitors. When you simply install a new version over an old one however, Analytics will only count one absolute unique visitor.
