I just started using Facebook Analytics for Apps and everything is looking great, I'm logging events etc, but still not getting age and gender data, no matter if the user logs or not. I've searched the documentation for some rule or best practice, but no solution so far.
Let me know if I'm missing something. Platform is Unity using the Facebook SDK for Unity.
Facebook Analytics only shares aggregated and anonymized demographics to protect the privacy of it's users. Therefore you need to be looking at at least 100 unique users before demographic data will be displayed.

I need an unique identifier to link the app usage data collected from my app with the reviews posted by the same user on the Play Store. As of now, Google does not expose any unique identifier in the reviews which can be obtained within the app so that user's app usage data and their reviews can be linked. Is there anything available to accomplish this?
This is a gross invasion of the Reviewer's privacy. You should not be doing this.
If you go down this route, especially if you don't tell the user, then it is likely you will break the Google Play User Data policies and get your app or your account suspended.
Just wondering if someone can clear this up for me as its kind of a grey area and not sure what to do.
I have a website that is split into frontend and api and has a subscription service provided by stripe on the api. I am now making apps in ionic for both apple and google stores but Im unsure of how the payments will work on the platforms, ideally i would like to just stick to using stripe but Ive been reading about both stores and this is where I need guidance.
From what I have read it seems to be that I have to use google play billing and apples alternative. Do I have to use these for the apps going into their respective stores or can I continue to use stripe within the apps? As i see it its a multi platform saas. So why cant I just send the card info to my api for charging?(I know theres alot of security involved and its not as trivial as I make it out to be)
Ive been reading conflicting statements from multiple sites and Im just not sure which is correct and the docs on google play billing make no reference to this. Its a multiplatform service so can I just send on the card details to my api
But what I have found is that apple have this
3.1.3(b) Multiplatform Services: Apps that operate across multiple platforms may allow users to access content, subscriptions, or features they have acquired elsewhere, including consumable items in multi-platform games, provided those items are also available as in-app purchases within the app. You must not directly or indirectly target iOS users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase, and your general communications about other purchasing methods must not discourage use of in-app purchase.
Which to me states that I have to use Apple Pay and make no reference to my other payment methods for fear of being refused from the store.
I can't comment for Apple. For Google Play the best place to answer this sort of question is the Developer policy center. In the Monetization and Ads section it says
Developers offering products within another category of app downloaded on Google Play must use Google Play In-app Billing as the method of payment, except for the following cases:
Payment is solely for physical products
Payment is for digital content that may be consumed outside of the app itself (e.g. songs that can be played on other music players).
You should read all of the linked page and decide what category the stuff you are selling falls into.
I see that there are all these analytics apps for FB, Instagram, Twitter, etc.. that track your top followers/who unfollowed you etc.... and I was wondering how can you make something like this. How do you get access to Instagram. All the apps out there charge people a ton of money and being an David instagram user, I hate it. I want to make my ow app that is a 1 time fee of $1 and I don't want to rope people's arms for cash. I am a programmer so I was hoping to make the app in Xcode. I just need to know how to import follower/likes etc.. into my app from individual instagram accounts.
Thanks!
Using the various app's api's. You can google each of the app's apis where you want to pull data from and use the data in your app.
I am trying to create a location-based services Android application. I had successfully getting the user reviews from Google Places API by following the guidance from this link.
https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/details
I also found many posts regarding how to get user reviews from Google Places. But Now I want to create a function which user can insert reviews from my application. Is there anyway to do that?
Thanks.
No. There is no API for writing review. Also the Google+ mobile URL doesn't have the write review option from last year. Its a bug , but Google is not fixing this.
There is only one way to write review is through desktop URL. I have a similar location base app in play store where I have done some workaround to show desktop site to write review.
I am researching whether the following is possible and if so how I could go about achieving it.
We collect reviews for businesses from their customers and we’d like to post these reviews to Google places as part of the reviews they have on their.
I was wondering how I would go about getting our website to “push” this data to the Google places website, I’ve done lots of searching on the APIs but have found nothing that says it’s possible or not.
Currently the Google Places API does not have write capability. It only has read capability. Right now only ratings are available, but I suspect reviews might come someday too.
Although you can send check-in signals and fix Places through the API. Hopefully Google will add the ability to send reviews and receive them.
If you're looking to get your content added to Google, you may want to talk to their content partnerships teams http://www.google.com/support/mapcontentpartners/
Since Google's local and maps initiatives are under the same people that would be the place to go.
I too looked into this as it would be of huge value to companies if possible.
My research led me to believe that it is not possible and could possibly violate Google's TOA with negative results for the company's Places page.
Instead, I built a workaround that makes it really easy for companies to collect feedback and get their own customers to submit the reviews: http://dallasmarketingservices.com/survey-local-unveiled-how-online-reviews-affect-your-local-business/
Maybe we will see this in the future though.
