We’ve heard some reports of the app “disappearing” from user’s phones. I’m wondering if there’s a way to know how many times the app has been installed on a phone.
There’s a telemetry field: boot_time:2_1:to_replication that represents time to complete “initial” replication, which I would assume only happens the first time the app is installed. Would the count of to_replication be a possible proxy for knowing how often the app was installed on the phone?
Hi @michael
You would also see boot_time:2_1:to_replication when:
Cool thanks. A few follow-up questions.
- the user logs out and logs in with a different account
OK. If it’s the same phone, presumably the metadata.deviceId would be the same for the different user accounts though, correct?
- the app data is deleted (wipe) without resintalling
Not sure I understand. Are you saying it writes that telemetry data even though it is just going to immediately be deleted (and probably not synced to the server anyway)?

Not sure I understand.
If you just wipe data, and login again, without actually reinstalling the app, you will get that replication telemetry entry.
