i using facebook analytics track purchase of in-apps in app ios. have been using tool analytics named, distimo. issue had purchases shown distimo , shown in facebook developers site app differ , huge number. have made sure purchases event gets fired once app when purchase happens. distimo takes data analytics app store.
one scenario aware of facebook shows events according pacific timezone while distimo shows data taking date app store gives it. instance, say, 2 downloads occur @ same time:
- 1 in japan @ 1:00 on 2013-09-05
- 1 in europe @ 18:00 on 2013-09-04
in distimo: downloads happened @ same time, on different day because of timezone difference. in case, download in japan count towards 5th while download in europe count towards 4th.
in facebook: download in japan count towards 4th @ time 9:00 , download in europe count count towards 4th @ time 9:00am.
however, difference in number of events seems huge. there missing here? cannot event logs against validate number of purchases shown in facebook.
two thoughts here:
1) have enabled automatic in-app purchase logging ios in facebook app dashboard? if so, you'll want remove explicit call logpurchase in-app purchases otherwise these double log, account discrepancy.
2) if distimo disqualifying non-appstore-verified purchases (for example, jailbroken device), account discrepancy. facebook analytics apps doesn't yet disqualification.
