    Thanks for getting back to me.

    Game is already submitted and live.

    I assumed analytics would have that built in.

    Can system info be gleaned somehow after game is live?

    Hi @jococo,

    Currently there is no way to get this information for your live app. I think the best way to go about getting this information would be to add the SystemInfo as parameters in a Custom Event and then resubmit your updated app.

    @mpinol wouldn't the Analysis Points count be "1 + amount of different devices on earth" in this case? Not a feasible solution at all, and I guess you don't want to store this amount on your servers either...

    @jococo Google Play already delivers overall device stats in their dashboard, for example. Not tied to a specific session though. Not sure about iOS.

    Hi @Baroni,

    Yes, you are correct, if, for example, you use deviceModel the number of analysis points would be 1 + every unique device model used in the app. There are a wide range of static variables however, some of which would keep the analysis points down to a more reasonable level, for example, deviceType breaks down into only four categories (Handheld, Console, Desktop and Unknown).

    I believe Apple also gives this information (at least iPhone/iPad, if not a breakdown of models) for apps in their iOS store in iTunes Connect, as you mentioned for Google Play.
