I don't have a lot of experience with Google Analytics so sorry if it's an easy question.
At the moment, I have a website with Google Analytics. I am planning to do an app that will contain a webview with this website. Is there a way I can differentiate the analytics coming from the app and the ones coming from the website?
We now have some tracking coming from webviews but this is when someone opens the link of our website in other apps (like Mail, Twitter...).
I basically need a specific tracking for our specific app.
Thank you for your help!

I have created a game for iOS and I want to be able to track when people are playing.
By this, I simply mean I want to know how often people are opening the app (and thus find out if users are returning or playing it only once).
Because of this, I don't want to have to include the entire Google Analysics SDK in my project. Does anyone know if it's possible to make a request from in an iOS app (possibly using NSURLRequest?) to call Google Analytics and make it think a web page has been visited?
Thanks in advance.
I have iOS application that I would like to promote on different web-sites.
In Google Store I can record Campaign name and use it in application. I'm looking for something similar for iOS but I can't find.
Is it possible at all?
Try to use Mobile App Tracker. It has ability to track publishers statistics. For example it could track how many users installed your app, first sales, custom events and etc. from each promote web site,
There is a Google Analytics SDK for iOS. This link leads to the iOS page for campaign measurement in Google Analytics. As far as I can tell, it works exactly the same as the Android SDK that you linked to in your question. Good luck!
I am trying to capture couple of information.
I have an app on Apple/Google Stores.
I run a campaign on newspapers/web-sites to install the App (for e.g. QR code in newspaper and ads in Web)
Is there a way where I can
1. Find out which QR code was scanned and from which newspaper?
2. Is this information available via App Store Dev Console ? Or if there is any API ?

If you're using a QR code, have it link to your website so you can log analytics and then forward to a store. For different papers, use different QR codes with different links / parameters.
Apple app store doesn't offer any information on where users came from. I think Google app store offers some information on where users came from.
First you should have installed Google Analytics on you application, then connect Google Play to your Google Analytics account.
After that you should generate link which will be then embeeded into you QR Code:

Today I downloaded the new Google Music app for iOS and it immediately had me signed in already. I assume they accomplished this using one of the other Google Apps on my phone. To keep this appropriate for StackOverflow, here's the question, specific and objective:
How (technically) can an app (like Google Music) authenticate a user using data from another app (like Google Search or Google Chrome)? I was under the impression that apps in iOS were entirely sand boxed.
I'm very curious in finding a technical explanation for this, so if someone could recommend a way to rephrase or retag the question, please feel free to edit or migrate.
iOS Keychain can be shared with your other apps via access groups, see this for example.
I have just changed from iAd to AdMob for the ads program on my iOS App.
The thing is that I just hate Apple's statistics at iTunes Connect. I wonder if I can use AdMob's Analytics addon to track all sorts of information such as downloads, devices, etc.
Is there anyway to have an statistical system such as Google Play has?
Well it is little bit hidden... but I have found these two interesting links:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ios/v2/
https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/admob/conversion-tracking
Good information though.
iOS 9.3, Xcode 7.3
Google Analytics has lots of customization options as to what data is gathered. "You get out of it as much as you put in." I mean, you will need to spend time integrating the analytics correctly to track what you deem significant. Determining what is "significant" is hard. The recommended approach is to start small and branch out into more detail later as you acquire customers.
This is what you'd expect as advertised:
The App Overview report summarizes the most useful information from
all of the Mobile App Analytics reports. Individual Mobile App
Analytics reports are organized into different categories:
Real-Time: See user traffic as it happens on your app. Monitor users, top active screens, top locations, and more. You can use
Real-Time as an end to end debugging tool for your Google Analytics
SDK implementation.
Audience: Get to know the people using your app—where they are, how often and long they use an app, and what devices are popular with
your visitors.
Acquisition: Find out how often your app is downloaded and installed, and how successful certain marketing campaigns are in
attracting visitors.
Behavior: Track in detail the ways users interact with your app. Find out which screens are viewed in a typical visit, or set up Event
Tracking to analyze custom actions, like button clicks and video
plays. Technical exceptions and crashes are also included in this set
of reports.
Conversions: Know the real value of your app. Set up Goals and Ecommerce to track targeted objectives, like completed sign-ups and
product sales.
