I've connected my application to Google Analytics but it shows different data than Google Play. For example at 26th November Google Play shows 262 new installations but in Google Analytics for that day I have 1012 new users. Why there is such a big difference?
There are more bots running to spam Google Analytics report like you may get unexpected lot of user from any country or like if you developed your app for android. In your analytics report you may see the platforms mac, linux etc., but you actually developed your app only for Android or IOS
So Be aware of Spammers

I am new to Google Analytics.
I added Google Analytics to my hybrid app built with react native. I used "#react-native-firebase" to implement GA into my app.
When I added my app to internal testing release on "Google Play Store Console", immediately after some time there were more than 30 plus users showed up on Google Analytics console. This is highly unlikely considering I didn't share the link. Also all these users were in United States with the event first_open_time using wide range of os version and device model.
So my suspicion is Google is internally testing my app before actually rolling out the application.
Has anyone else faced this or something similar to this before? If yes, is there any workaround on how to identify these fake triggers and not log them to Google Analytics? (I assumed that for the proper workflow with the GA these fake triggers would be hindrance, right?)
I released my app on 30th July, Today I ran a Promotion Campain got a good amount of users but out of sudden got this email from Google Play Store.
It's a Violation of Usage of Android Advertising ID policy and section 4.8 of the Developer Distribution Agreement.
Now, See I didn't have any type of ads in my app. Didn't use Firebase Analytics. Firebase plugin I use is cloud_firestore. Only the In-app purchase. I used Flutter's official In-app purchase plugin and unlike what this email says not a single data from In-app-Purchase is saved to Firestore. The only info I save about a user is their Email.
I didn't have a background from Android and didn't know all nitty and gitty's about PlayStore. I searched on google and GitHub and nothing helpful comes out.
Can anyone help me with this? I am facing a huge loss since my Promotional Campaign have been started tho app is down. :(
We're users of Google Analytics on our organization. We've recently received an email from them saying that they're discontinuing Google Analytics for App Reporting next year (info [here])(https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2621230). At the moment we use Google Analytics on web and apps (android/ios) jointly.
I understand the focus of Firebase is apps, and having all Analytics information together for both Android and iOS.
My question is: is the previous SDK for apps going to disappear altogether?
What would be the standard approach from this point onwards if you also have a web? Add the Firebase SDK on apps, and track with Google Analytics for Firebase, and keep Google Analytics standard SDK on web? I believe this approach would be even more cumbersome since we'll need two interfaces to follow metrics.
From the email, it stated that by OCT 2019, data processing will stop and by Jan 2020, everything will be gone/inaccessible from GA. Hopefully, by then you'll have moved to Firebase Analytics.
GA is still the standard for web and that's not going away.
For Firebase, you can use GTM with it, maybe it might make maintenance easier.
I am trying to find stats about App Referers and Web Referers for my Android App. I have these stats in itunes for the iOS version, but cannot find them anywhere in the Google Play Developer Console. Do they exist?
I can then see how many downloads were made from users coming from Facebook, Instagram, etc ...
Second thing, the exports: is there a way to export data in one block (example: a year) instead of monthly reports? I have to combine 12 different reports for each stat to make a yearly report, and than do that for every stat I need. It is a waste of time.
I'd love your insights, as I have been very disappointed with the Google Play Developer Console compared to itunes.
This information is in the Acquisition and conversion funnel report
I have setup my app analytics with google analytics, there the total new users it showing 105,500 and in developer console it showing 38,500. why is there so much difference?
I would say the real reason is that the develop console only shows apps obtained through legit means ie. the play store. If a user installs the apk directly (and unfortunately your app will be available for free via a quick google search) then analytics will pick it up but the dev console wont. I'd advise putting in some sort of licensing check. here is a good starter for 10: Google Play Licensing
