Live telemetry

Live telemetry is the term used to define the analytical information collected from applications being used by their target audience or beta testers. These analytic values are invaluable for feature rich mobile applications to identify how the customers are actually engaging with these applications on different hardware configurations, since Xamarin applications may be targeting devices running iOS, Android, or Windows Phone with various hardware configurations and peripherals.

With telemetry, development teams can gather information about user input patterns in different scenarios, application utilization flows, and platform impediments/strengths. While statistical information such as this is essential for UX design, values such as crash/exception details, network connectivity, memory consumption, and other diagnostic data on real-world usage scenarios can be useful as health indicators for the application.

There are numerous telemetry providers and frameworks for Xamarin...
