Just like their iOS counterparts a few weeks back, our Android SDKs (native and Unity) have gotten themselves an upgrade! There are a lot of new features we are introducing with the V2 of our SDKS.

Here at GameAnalytics we believe that in game development, as in any other fields, knowledge is equivalent to power. However, no matter the size and nature of different game studios, they are all united in a slight lack of such knowledge: if a game studio makes it big, it rarely knows and understands the factors that have led to its success.
