The timing of this is unfortunate. I'm not anticipating an answer from Google any time soon as many folks there might gone on vacation this week. We might be on our own here for the time being.
If the issue is just that installs aren't getting tracked properly as actives, that's not too bad. I'm more troubled if people can't install or apps are getting uninstalled. There are going to be a lot of Android phones given as Christmas presents and the post-Christmas surge in the Market will be interesting to see. It looks like it's only happening to people that recently released an update, so I'm curious about something. For those that are having this problem, did you use the 2.0.1 SDK for your update? Here's my info: - released update Friday - Build Target Android: 2.0.1 (api level 6) - Manifest: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="3" /> Date Downl. New Actives Mon, Dec 14 307 215 Tue, Dec 15 346 234 Wed, Dec 16 251 151 Thu, Dec 17 334 199 Fri, Dec 18 429 82 (released update) Sat, Dec 19 274 -275 Sun, Dec 20 389 -98 Mon, Dec 21 404 -151 I've seen several theories going around as to the cause, I'm not sure if it's a purely Market issue or something we can change on our apps. I'm thinking of testing these out: 1. put the old version of my app back as a new update to see if the stats trend changes going forward 2. release a new update built against an older version of the SDK and see if the stats trend changes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
