Currently I am working in creating some dashboards in Adobe Analytics for a mobile app and realized that I needed data like ‘First Launch’ and ‘Upgrades’, which are provided if I enable “App Reporting” in the report suite. Before doing this I want to know if there are any impact on performance, memory, or anything of the sort. I can’t find any documentation on why this is disabled or impacts of enabling this setting.
There shouldn’t be any impacts. While it will add some new metrics to become available, those metrics are standard and are already technically “there”…
The biggest impact to your analytics would be IF you plan on allowing “offline” data from your apps… while not a performance issue, it does require that you change the implementation to provide timestamp data (as part of the request) so that the “banked” tracking calls (in offline apps) can be properly associated when they finally send… This can cause some issues, since you now basically have to rely on the client side date and time (which isn’t necessarily correct)… This will impact your web tracking as well..
Note, you don’t have to allow this...we don’t… our apps require internet, so we didn’t do this… and left the timestamps as coming from the server.
