I'm trying to send some data from one app to another(not installed on device). I've started to use CampaignTrackingReceiver, but I have a strange issue.
When a user opens PlayStore, click install, then open app on devices with original Android OS(pixel, nexus) my UTM values(utm_source, utm_medium) have not set value.
BUT when I'm doing the same on samsung or xiaomi everything works. I'm getting my values from utm_source.
Why is it working like this?
I was thinking that link can be shortened, but I cannot check this

I am trying to implement a simple subscription IAP on Android using the Amazon SDK. I adjusted their subscription sample app. The code is really simple.
Set <String>productSkus = new HashSet<String>();
productSkus.add("TLS_SKU_MONTHLY" );
productSkus.add( "TLS_SKU" );
PurchasingService.getProductData(productSkus);
But the response from onProductDataResponse() is always fail. I'm not sure why, I cannot find any examples etc to even know if my SKUs are right, in the sample app they looked more like package names than this, but these strings are what I entered on the 'in-app items' on the apps page on Amazon. The app has not been submitted yet, but I need to test and implement IAP before that. Any ideas? I cannot even find a simple tutorial walking through this, and as usual their docs are poor.
edit, noticed im getting these errors that dont even come up on google
Kiwi: DataAuthenticationKeyLoaderV3: Unable to load authentication Key
java.io.FileNotFoundException: AppstoreAuthenticationKey.pem
DATA_AUTH_KEY_LOAD_FAILURE: CERT_NOT_FOUND: null
com.amazon.a.a.o.b.a.a: DATA_AUTH_KEY_LOAD_FAILURE: CERT_NOT_FOUND: null
I'm wondering, is this because I am running on real Android and not an Amazon device like a fire tablet or tv stick?
You should add your own AppstoreAuthenticationKey.pem to the project assets folder. It is not (and should not be) delivered together with the sample.
Basically, you must do a few things:
Login to the Amazon developer console and create your application.
Go to the “Apk Files" tab to download AppstoreAuthenticationKey.pem.
Add this file to the project’s assets folder.
You can get the full instructions from Amazon.
As for devices, yes, you must use an Amazon device. But this should not be the reason why you are getting this exception.
I am trying to create a link in an email that will open a mobile device's default texting app if pushed. Here is what I have so far:
a href="sms:;?&body=This%20is%20the%20body%20message."
I have tested it and it seems to work on iOS devices as well as some Android devices. However, on a Google Pixel 3, it opens the default messaging app but shows an error which reads Could not start conversation.
How can I change my code to successfully open a conversation with a blank recipient?
After hours of trial and error, I was able to prefill the Pixel (3XL), iOS (simulated in Xcode), and macOS Messages using the following structure:
Pixel: sms://+1${PHONE}/?body=${encodedString}
iOS: sms://+1${PHONE}/&body=${encodedString}
Give this a try from a link, I think you need a number and replace ; with ?
Send SMS
For non iOS you want to use (For your Pixel Example)
sms:phone_number?body=The_Message
For iOS you want to use
sms:phone_number;body=The_Message
I'm developing a game for Android using the Google Play Services for creating a turnbased match.
At first everything was fine I load the turnbased matches for the signed in user using
Games.TurnBasedMultiplayer.loadMatchesByStatus(getApiClient(),
new int[]{TurnBasedMatch.MATCH_TURN_STATUS_MY_TURN,
TurnBasedMatch.MATCH_TURN_STATUS_THEIR_TURN,
TurnBasedMatch.MATCH_TURN_STATUS_INVITED,
TurnBasedMatch.MATCH_TURN_STATUS_COMPLETE})
.setResultCallback(this);
It always loaded all matches that are any of the given states. But since last weekend the callback is called but there are no matches, as I'm not participating in any match (Status response is OK). I deleted the cache of Google Play Services on my phone and rebooted the device. At that moment all the matches were shown again until the next time I opened the app. Again all matches were missing.
Once I start a new match the match keeps showing up with the above method (refreshing the list) until I close the app. At the next launch that match is also gone.
I have to say the game is not published yet but in a test phase on the Google Play Developer Console. I found the same issue on an emulator. It ran fine for days but suddenly got the same problem as my real device (with a later build so it is not that a single change of code causes this).
Did anyone else notice this behaviour or has an idea on how to resolve it?
Might it be related to having multiple apps connected to one game? I had two apps signed with debug certificates connected and this afternoon added one for a signed apk. When I used the signed apk it worked again until I deployed a new test app (debug signed). After switching back to the signed apk the bug is still around.
As nobody seems to know the answer let me rephrase the question. Should I cache TurnBasedMatches myself on the device? I just deleted the play services cache again and reopened my app. Result? A list of hundreds of games (since I have to start a new game every time while testing...)
My code to handle the loadMatchesResult
#Override
public void onResult(TurnBasedMultiplayer.LoadMatchesResult loadMatchesResult)
{
showToast("GotMatches status: " + loadMatchesResult.getStatus().getStatusCode());
//add matches to listview (only caching matchId, no references to turnbasedmatch)
loadMatchesResult.getMatches().getMyTurnMatches().close();
loadMatchesResult.getMatches().getInvitations().close();
loadMatchesResult.getMatches().getTheirTurnMatches().close();
loadMatchesResult.getMatches().getCompletedMatches().close();
loadMatchesResult.release();
}
Found another interest point.. it starts to look like the issue occurs when deploying a new apk to the device... Once I deploy a new apk (either by install alpha version from google play or directly debug version from Android Studio) the matches are gone. When I don't change the apk I can reboot my phone/close the app and it works fine...
Issue also occurs if I update the app through the play store... There should be more people having this problem!
Gotten from https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/common/api/PendingResult.html#setResultCallback(com.google.android.gms.common.api.ResultCallback)
After the result has been retrieved using await() or delivered to the result callback, it is an error to attempt to retrieve the result again. It is the responsibility of the caller or callback receiver to release any resources associated with the returned result. Some result types may implement Releasable, in which case release() should be used to free the associated resources.
After you retrieve the result, an error is given when you try to get the results again, until you free the resources associated with the returned result, which is why clearing the cache works to make them visible again. You need to either access the device's cache and display results from there as well, or clear the associated resources (within the program) whenever you want to access the results again.
I had the same problem until I found "Saved Games" in my Developer Console:
Go to Game Services -> Game Details -> Saved Games
Set the item to "On"
This should solve your issue.
I've experienced a strange thing in my Parse app: a new Installation record has been added, from an Android device, but its deviceToken field is blank. Probably for this, the new user doesn't receive any push notification (subscribers targeting his device are always zero).
Why this situation?
You may also use installation table just to track installation of app across user devices, for example to handle loading data from other device ...
i am currently building a game with Unity for Android.
I want to use the AppRequest feature from the Facebook API.
User should be able to challenge their friends.
I implemented it just like in the tutorial (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/unity/reference/current/FB.Apprequest)
FB.AppRequest(
message:"message",
title:"title",
callback: appRequestCallback);
I have the following permissions:
basic_info
publish_actions (to post the score)
friends_games_activity (to see the scores of the friends)
And yes, I am logged in. I check that directly before that.
I tested it with development mode on and off.
If I run the game on Android and click the button that calls the method, Facebook tries to load something, but it will never appear. I see the load-icon (this turning circle thing) but nothing appears and I am back in my game. It looks like everything is directly cancelled.
If I run the game in the Unity Editor everyhing works just fine. I can see my friends and send them requets.
What am I missing? It's driving me crazy.
Do I need another permission?
Everything else works perfectly with the FB SDK.
I have encountered a similar problem with Facebook Unity SDK, which was solved by passing more parameters - these marked as optional too.
It shouldn't work like that, but they're still working on that plugin, so maybe you could give it a try, and specify all parameters you can, or manually pass them default values.
I found the solution.
I passed to many characters in the message and title strings.
Therefore my question was maybe misleading, because I replaced the strings with short dummy values.
If you encouter a similar issue:
The length of message should be at most 60 characters.
The length of title should be at most 50 characters.
I tried it on another phone got an error message there. On my phone the dialog just did not appear.
