Collecting insights for Xamarin applications
In this section, we will focus on App Center telemetry and how to expand the scope of user telemetry.
As we have previously discussed and set up, application telemetry within Xamarin applications is collected with the App Center SDK. This application data, while providing crucial information about the usage patterns of the application, cannot be further analyzed in the App Center.
