"1st party" analytics on Android is a bit weird at the moment. Since Google Analytics for Mobile requires Google Play Services - you can't use it in for installations on Amazon Fire devices. Of course there are third party services (Crashlytics, Mixpanel, etc), but it's just interesting to see Amazon and Google essentially forced to build their own versions of each other's services to compete on Android.
- dublinben 12y agoAre Android devices without GPS a large enough market for you to worry about? I didn't think that anyone was actually distributing a significant amount of apps through the Amazon market.
- JohnTHaller 12y agoMany of the devs I know aren't, but then they haven't put much effort into Amazon. Amazon App Store is basically Amazon Fire tablet users only. The Amazon Phone has barely sold so can be discounted for right now. Other than that, the folks who install the Amazon store... which requires manually enabling 3rd party apps on your Android phone and then installing it... are folks looking to get the free apps Amazon gives away to get people to use their store. So, not only is it a much smaller audience, it isn't necessarily the best quality audience. That's what I've heard anecdotally at least.
