By using the new iPhone SDk, I am not getting the device info in the new GA interface. Mobile->Devices->Mobile Device Info->(not set). It always says not set, is this an drawback? Or is there a way to set the device info?

I was wondering how to do this without manually loading a page with the GA javascript code inside it. Thanks for the post.

@Brad: Since Google Analytics for the iPhone does not use Core Location, GA in itself is safe. With the other analytics libraries that I'm familiar with you have the option of allowing the analytics to access Core Location. It is here you have to be careful. As you point out, if you only use Core Location for the purpose of analytics then Apple's new policy is to reject the app.

Apple is using their new location policy (not to use location services only for ads, and for user benefit) to reject apps that use location services with Google Analytics. You might want to not use location services if your app does not require it.

@Akram: You can see where users come from geographically, but you cannot see which web page they came from when they downloaded your app. (The latter is possible in the Android version of the analytics library.)

Can you know, by using it in your app, from where did your app users came from?
