Add metric for Android version?

Support Android

Hi,

Is it possible to put a field in the usage report like “Android version” , as an integer e.g. 21 (for Android 5). I looked at apilevels.com which shows where the “mainstream google policy” currently pushes devs to and how much old levels like api 21 are already going towards end of life. I need this info about the userbase in the future to decide when its the right time to drop Android 5 & 6, and don’t intend to leave someone unnecessarily behind :slightly_smiling_face:.

If we had a field in the report, I could for example set an env var from the wrapper telling the Android version.

We don’t have usage reporting of OS version for any platform. If we did, Android version would fit in there. I’m not super excited about adding something Android specific.

Adding OS + version in a generic fashion doesn’t sound that bad.
