Tracking Download for enterprise iPhone/iPad application through itms-services
I am using itms-services to download enterprise iPhone/iPad 开发者_StackOverflow社区application. We want to track who has downloaded what application when the user clicks Download button.
As prompt to Cancel/ Download is coming from itms-services not by our application, we are finding difficulties to track that download click event. Can anybody give any way out to solve this problem.
As far as I know there is no way to intercept the Cancel/Download from this IOS prompt. The only way to ensure that you know that a download has occurred would be to have the file server detect the download of the entire file. Even then, it is possible that a user could "cancel" the download near the end, or if the file was built incorrectly (i.e., profile is invalid) that the load to springboard is incomplete.
If you use a system like EASE (Enterprise App Services Environment) [http://www.apperian.com/ease], it provides this type of information based on the completion of file downloading and has reporting. EASE is free to developers using ad-hoc deployment so if you are trying to distribute apps this might be an option for you.
Can you check your web access log of .ipa? It'll give you rough idea of how many downloads.
You could write JavaScript code that:
- contacts google's tracking services, and then
- changes the window.location to your iTMS-services link.
Had the same problem, here is my working solution. This logs the enterprise download click to google analytics.
<!-- Users click on this install link -->
<a href="#" onclick="trackOutboundLink('{{ download_url }}'); return false;">Install App</a>
<script>
var trackOutboundLink = function (url) {
ga('send', 'event', 'Download Page', 'User Clicked Install', url, {'hitCallback': function () {
window.location.href = url;
}
});
};
</script>
