To begin with, these 2 are the dashboards related to app and device:

And this is the card
https://trello.com/c/p2gBN9XB/48-5-cordova-appmetrics-as-a-mobile-developer-i-want-the-cordova-sdk-to-give-me-app-launch-metrics-such-that-i-can-visualise-and-an


We (Ali, Wojciech, Josemi) were discussing this one on the card a little bit, then moved to IRC and we have something to propose.

Card asks us to prepend text "Cordova" to the SDK version field so that we can access the information if this metric event was from a Cordova app or a native app.

But, isn't having a "framework" field better? Values could be Native/Cordova/Xamarin/etc.
We can also have a "Framework" dropdown at the top of screenshot#2 and users can filter all graphs' data per framework.

For example, if no framework is selected and the platform is Android, data will be shown for native android apps and Cordova apps. If Cordova is selected, native Android apps will be excluded.

Work needed:
* This would mean touching most of the queries in that dashboard, but the complexity is not big. Need to add another "where" statement to the existing queries with the selected framework value.
* Changes to mobile SDKs are very simple.
* Changes in the server side are also very simple.

Cheers

In order to lay a bit more of emphasis on my point, from the user's perspective: the point of developing a Cordova/Xamarin/Hybrid application is to precisely avoid having to also develop an Android/iOS native application, hence a user will know already their application platform.

That being said, in case I had to choose, I support the idea of sending this metrics separately in a "framework" field.

Basing on overall response on Trelo card and chat on IRC I think that filed is more than required.
Having it will have really small impact on SDK and moderate impact on queries in visualization.

From my point of view if we do it now then we will avoid some problems later.

Update:
We are in the process of adding framework field to deliver more sophisticated categorization of the metrics.
