Google recently announced of disabling google analytics for mobile app and moving
to firebase analytics
Can I Change my mobile project in analytics to web project?
And if not, can I export my data to another analytics tool?
thanks
I am installing Flurry into a Phonegap application so that I might collect better in app analytics. I've seen numerous cordova plugins allowing you to use Flurry's iPhone and Android SDKs with Phonegap
e.g. https://github.com/jfpsf/flurry-phonegap-plugin
However Flurry has released a Mobile Web SDK. I assume the Mobile Web SDK is easier to integrate with a phonegap application, however I'm concerned that it is not as full featured or ill suited for working with phonegap. Can anyone comment on which SDK should be used in this situation? Many thanks.
Posing the question to Flurry's support team I received the following reply:
"The Mobile Web SDK tracks devices on the basis of cookies. The native SDK's track it on the basis of device id.
Apart from that, the mobile web SDK doesn't provide metrics like carrier, device and OS metrics. The native SDK provides those.
Crash reporting is not supported on the Mobile Web SDK. The native iOS and Android SDK's provide that."
Ergo, the SDKs are not created equally. One should use the native SDKs whenever they have the opportunity.
I have just started looking into using Google App Engine for a project I'm developing. The project will have an Android and iPhone app as well as a web application that a set of users can log into. I have a couple basic questions concerning the use of Google App Engine...
Is it possible to use google app engine in conjunction with your own web app? Or would I post the web app itself on Google App Engine? Is it that I'd use my web app AND Google App Engine, or would those be the same thing? I guess this is the main point I'm not clear on.
I'm kind of concerned about putting all of our data on Google's servers and not directly owned by myself. Is this just something I'll have to get over?
Thanks for any help!
Edit: The web app will need to have a decent amount of functionality in addition to the mobile apps. Is the Google App Engine mostly for projects which only/mainly have mobile apps?
Google App Engine includes Google Cloud Endpoints for Android, iOS and web clients. The client web app can be hosted on AppEngine or elsewhere. If you host the client web app in the same application that hosts the Cloud Endpoints, authentication and data sharing is easier to achieve.
Yes, you'll just have to get over putting all of your data on Google's servers. Google does not publish or index your data, except for the data your app itself publishes to anonymous clients.
There is a restriction in Google Adsense posted here that says:
The use of AdSense for mobile in a mobile application is a violation
of AdSense policies. A mobile application constitutes any downloadable
application, even if a WebView is used to display the ad. Any AdSense
for mobile ad units found in mobile applications will be disabled. If
you’re looking for an advertising solution for your mobile
application, please sign up for AdMob, Google’s leading mobile
advertising display product.
So if I read this correctly Windows Store Apps that run on laptops are considered mobile apps aswell?
But my main question is. Am I allowed by Google to use Admob in Windows Store apps and Where can I find the SDK?
I tried using Microsoft PubCenter. But it shows no advertisements to people that downloaded my app so I am looking for an alternative to monetize my app
What is the difference between google apps and google app engine?
Google Apps is a Web-based hosted software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution (gmail / docs / talk / site / calendar on your own domain).
Google App Engine is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution. It is something like EC2, but with only specific (Python, Java, PHP and Go) runtime environments available.
Google apps offers google web applications (gmail, docs, calendars, etc)
Google app engine is a service to host your own web applications
See this post on the webapps SE site describing the difference between the services.
In simple words:
With google apps you can get a set of work application such as Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar...
With google app engine (GAE) you can create applications servers with little effort. There are others similar PaaS, heroku is one of the most famous.
Google Apps is a suite of services for businesses and organizations. It includes: GMAIL, Google Drive, Calendar, Docs etc. Many of these applications are available separately with a standard Google Account.
Google App Engine is PaaS (Platform as a Service) solution. Google App Engine is a way to write your own Web applications and have them hosted on Google servers. Google App Engine customers are programmers who want a scalable platform for their Internet applications.
Google App Engine is same as hosting, Google Apps is same as office softrawe
Google Apps include "Drive" Drive is complete solution for office requirements. Spreadsheet,presentations,documents etc. and have extra properties as Form Builder (for simple data collection) and Cloud file storage. But Google apps haven't any solution alternatively to MS Access.
