I currently have an app on the play store using google analytics. I would like to modify and release that app for the kindle app store and still be able to use GA. I understand that this depends on play services to work correctly. Obviously there are no play services on a kindle device but is there a way to include them with my app. Maybe via the play-services.jar.

Let me quote the official google analytics sdk v4 guide:

Note: Google Analytics can be used and will work on devices that do not have Google Play Services. In this case you still download and use the Google Play Services SDK and Google Analytics will automatically fall back to local dispatching.

==> It will also track Amazon Kindle / Fire Phone etc.

I have uploaded apps with analytics v4 to amazon and works fine. They even have a device icon for Kindle fire in the google analytics devices section ;-)

  • Out of curiosity - I'm using this plugin for our cordova app - [link](https://github.com/phonegap-build/GAPlugin/tree/GA-3.0) , but I cannot see record in our analytics, when running our app locally via USB. Are you using cordova/phonegap plugin perhaps? – robjez Jan 13 '15 at 11:43
  • It will also track Fire Phone etc... I have seen pictures and heard stories but never seen a Fire Phone in real life. – startoftext Dec 08 '16 at 01:08
