How 'First_open' is related to 'update_with_analytics' in Firebase?


I'm finding it hard to make distinction between parameters related to first_open event. Those parameters are system_app, system_app_update and update_with_analytics.

Can someone clearly define them and give concrete examples when these parameters will change their values.

I'm following this link, but I couldn't get hold of these concepts.

I have understood previous_first_open_count though. If it's 0 then it's new install and if > 0 then re-install. Is it possible that previous_first_open_count = 0 AND update_with_analytics = 1. If Yes, how?


Solution

  • Yes, it is possible.

    update_with_analytics = 1 means that the user has updated from a previous version that did not have analytics integrated. previous_first_open_count can be 0 since there will be no existing first_open events for the previous version of the app that didn't have any analytics collection.

    system_app indicates whether or not the app is a system app. System apps are the apps that are preloaded on the device (not installed by user).
