How do I Track App Uninstall / Remove Events for iOS using Firebase?

I need to get monthly uninstall count for iOS using Firebase. I know that for Android, there's app_remove event that I can use even if it's not really accurate, but it's enough for now.
From iTunesConnect or Playstore, they only give user retention data like how many user still use your app after x days, or daily uninstalls, which is not what i'm looking for.
Right now, you can't track app uninstalls on iOS using Firebase Analytics. It's not a trivial change (I think most SDKs do this by keeping track of messages they get back from the APNs feedback service), but I'll put in a feature request on your behalf.
Apple has added the deletion metrics recently by which we can see the number of uninstalls. We can add filters to find uninstalls for geographic range, app versions, by device and so on.
For reference: in iTunes connect app analytics in metrics under usage we can see the deletions.

How to get my app download details besides Apple developer account

I know from the Apple developer account we can get how much downloads have done for our particular app. Now our clients asking they want to check the apps downloads without involving developers. Is there any way to find those details besides from the appstore, or else without accessing the developer account
Thanks
You usually see your download numbers in itunesconnect and therefore you can just invite your clients to look into the data there. There are also a number of web services that use the data from itunesconnect to show more details, for instance app statistics.
If you want more data and even logging, many users integrate additional logging features in their apps like google analytics for instance.
If this is not what you are looking for, please give me some more information on what you are trying to accomplish!

Share files between free and paid app

We have a paid app on the App Store with id following the lines of com.company.client and we want to add a free version, optimally with the id of com.company.client.free. I need to figure out how, if a user buys the paid app after using the free one, they can get their data from the free version into the paid one... I recall reading somewhere this was possible but I can't for the life of me find it in the apple documentation. I vaguely remember it had to do with the app's bundle ID and using a wild card, but since we already have a version on the app store that we can't change, I don't know how that would affect it. Any help or links to proper documentation would be greatly appreciated.
You can share keychain data between applications in the same family. I would however only recommend this for small user data such as passwords, username etc.
See this guide on how to do that:
http://useyourloaf.com/blog/2010/04/03/keychain-group-access.html
For heavier data, I recommend that you use an online service with user accounts to share the data between your apps. (as mentioned by Clafou, iCloud might help you here for iOS5 and above)
A third option for you could be to make the paid version free, and then use add in-app-purchase for the paid content. But maybe that could cause problems like how to handle the users that have already paid for your app.
I have a similar requirement and am yet to try this out, but if you are happy to use iCloud then you could use the same iCloud identifier (which is different to your Bundle IDs) in both versions of your app so that the data could be sync'ed across devices and across your app versions (paid and free).

Count iOS App downloads

Problem:
I'm an app developer and my boss asked me how many times one of our iPhone apps was downloaded
What I tried so far:
Apple statistics:There seem to be only daily or weekly data. Furthermore, there seem to be no way to access download statistics from previous years.
Services like www.appannie.com:
This might work, but I don't really want to give them the email and password of our developer account.
Scraping the data automatically (See: automatically-download-sales-reports-from-itunes-connect):
I don't really want to spend time to set up and maintain such a system unless there is really no other solution.
My Question:
Is there a better way? How do other developer find out how many times their app was downloaded?
Services like www.appannie.com: This might work, but I don't really
want to give them the email and password of our developer account.
i use appAnnie, but i didn't gave them my "email and password of my developer account".
in ItunnesConnect apple site you can create a new account with JUST the privilege to see the reports of a single app, and nothing more
P.S.
This may be very useful in case you want to give access to a client or a developer partner to a single app statistics, as you can create a new appAnnie user with access to just an app.
Apple just updated https://itunesconnect.apple.com site you can adjust the date range in the middle of screen (using the slider) or by adjusting the dates on top left corner after navigating to sale and trends screen to see how many downloads you have had.
Well I use Flurry to track installs and session. But you will have to add the flurry to your project.
And We als use AppFigures to track real downloads, but as you stated you can only retrieve so far back as Apple allows it.
AppFigures will also require you to give them your ItunnesConnect account details.
The iTunes connect app has other selection methods, try it.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itunes-connect-mobile/id376771144?mt=8
Services like www.appannie.com:
This might work, but I don't really want to give them the email and password of our developer account.
That, seems like a very good idea!
Why not hire a sales guy to count the numbers for you? But in all seriousness, I'd go with the scraping option. I believe that's the only viable solution for your problem until Apple comes up with an API.
I use AppFigures.com, As #meronix suggested create a new user with privileges you specify. AppFigures gives you daily reports emailed to you every morning, in addition to Nicely done graphs and an entire dashboard of information. I recommend!
Just for your information there is another services called mopapp, it supports several platform.

Apple App Store Advanced Analytics

I have several applications in App Store and I wish to get further advanced analytics for how they are doing. I'm already listed to some sites that do analytics for Number of Downloads and for Online Ranking (they check every hour where was each app ranked in each country).
I want to have the following:
Landing - I want to check how people got to my application's App Store / iTunes
page; from commercial banners, reviews (I want to see that it came
from a specific web page), from inner banners I have in my apps
directing to my other apps, etc...
App Store Search / Keywords - I want to check which keywords were
effective and which are redundant.
Keywords General Search - I want to check which keywords are
efficient in general for the categories my apps belong to.
Users Analytics - I want to check how many of my users have both the Free/Lite and Full versions of my apps. Maybe there are more
analytics I can look for in this area (if anyone has any good idea).
Any help or direction would be very much appreciated.
Answers numbered according the question
1: What you could do is set your Banners/Ads etc. to a 'middleman' URL on your Server which tracks the User Data and then redirects them to the iTunes App Store Page rather than directly going to the App Store Page. That way you can track the URL's from where the User came from etc. Also Banners and Ads should provide their own Tracking Data which could also help? For reviews, you could maybe ask the reviewer to use your Application Website Page with directs to this middleman URL and onto the App Store Link rather than just the direct App Store link.
2 and 3: I don't think Apple have any sort of tracking in place to the Developers for this kind of data besides the Sales and Trends data you get in iTunes Connect.
4: I've found Flurry Analytics to be an excellent tool for seeing how Users interact with my applications. You can set events in your Program and track various different events. You can easily track the Free/Paid by setting an event for each and then tracking it. It also provides a wealth of other data which informs you better of your user base. I definitely recommend checking it out for this kind of thing.
