how can I implement Amplitude to Hybrid (Webview) App

Hello, I'm a data analyst.I am trying to implement Amplitude to a Hybrid (Webview) App. Our project made web page that use JS and it’s shown on a webview inside our app (android/IOS). I want to implement Amplitude to mobile Web and Hybrid App. But I couldn’t find how to implement amplitude to hybrid environments in The official development guide.I just have understood that browser SDK should be applied to the web page to collect events and user properties, and send them to the App through javascript interface. However, since there are few resource for hybrid app, it would be good to have some materials for hybrid app. Could I get any useful resources for development?

Initial UTM parameters not being set (server-side source)

Hi,We’re sending our data to Amplitude using RudderStack (a service similar to Segment, which sends data server-side to Amplitude using the API).Rudderstack automatically sends utm_XXXX parameters with each event to Amplitude, but the problem we’re encountering, is that users’ initial_utm_XXXX properties are not being set.For example, in the screenshot below, you can see utm_XXXX properties in Amplitude, but there’s no initial_utm_XXX property. If we turn off our server-side source, and instead use the Amplitude Javascript SDK (client-side source), you can see that the initial_utm_XXX properties are set correctly (screenshot below): Do you know how we can get Amplitude to set initial_utm_XXXX, even if we’re using sending data server-side?Thank you!

How can i find my device id?

Hi, guys. I’d like to find myself in Amplitude User-Look up (or User cohort report). So I downloaded Airbridge’s <My Device Id> application to see my device id which is the same with IDFV (right?) But I still cannot find myself in Amplitude User-Look up with putting my IDFV in device id. Unfortunately we don’t track user’s email or mobile number so it’s quite hard for me to track my data. Any tips for me?🙏🏼

Newly added events not appearing in event list or available in Analysis

We’ve recently added several events to our mobile app. Unexpectedly, some events are not visible in event list on Data page or not appearing in Analysis. They are across at least 3 status:Appearing in event list and available in Analysis   Appearing in event list but unavailable in Analysis (cannot choose that event for creating a chart) Some of them have an error icon in event details - however, other events with the same error message are still available in Analysis.   Not appearing in event list  However, I can see them in Amplitude project for Dev environmentI’ve checked related topics but haven’t found solutions. Really appreciate your help!

[Amplitude] Is there a way to overwrite the Platform field while using the JS SDK?

Hello, I’m trying to specify the platform field when triggering a logEvent, but thanks to the post below I found out that for the JS SDK the “platform” field always stays as “Web”, so, is there a way to manually change this?I tried using something like:amplitude.options.platform = “Android”Before logging the event, but that didn’t work.

Missing events and user Properties on some users

Hey! We are currently using the Android and iOS SDK. And it works great in most cases.However we have found a problem with the Android side that results in missing some events and user properties.What seems to happen is that the first events happening is sometimes not being uploaded to your database.So we can see that some users is in a screen_view that should not be possible to begin the session with. That’s why it seems to be a problem with uploading event. We have an initial step with uploading user properties, such as: android_logged_in: yes/no. But those will not be uploaded. This results with an average of 5 new users missing this property each day. which is just a tiny percentage but still annoying. Do you have any tips how to solve this?

How to switch to a created branch in Amplitude?

Hey, I’m struggling getting to created branches in Amplitude Data. after the branch is created, I’m still on the main branch and I can’t figure out how to switch to this new branch. The only UI i see to switch is that original drop down and it only shows the same main branch.I feel like I’m missing something here, is there a UI anywhere to look at branches you’ve created and switch to them?Thanks so much for the support!

Unexpected 100x More Revenue Data

Hello,I've been using a revenue track and everything has been running smoothly with over 100 purchases. However, I recently discovered an issue where a user's revenue was incorrectly recorded as 100 times the intended amount for two purchases, going from 4.99 to 499 and 2.99 to 299. This appears to only be affecting this one user.Need help. Thanks.

Content security policy documentation?

We recently integrated amplitude and noticed we have this in console. index.ca0b2aaa.js:41 Refused to connect to 'https://api2.amplitude.com/2/httpapi' because it violates the document's Content Security Policy. I search through amplitude but couldn’t find any documentation around Content Security Policy. Do you have any official guidance on how to update CSP?

Is there a to view all event properties on all events and their values?

Hello, I’m trying to clean up our Amplitude event properties to lower the number counting towards our limit since we are approaching 2000.I noticed a lot of our properties are queryParams or pageQueryParams, but that a majority of these properties have Null values. I want to basically be able to query all event properties and identify all of the properties that don’t have useful information to us so I can delete them. Right now the only way I see to do this is to create a Data Table, look at all events, and then one by one do a group by for each event property name to check what the values were for those properties. Is there a better way to do this that I’m missing?

Setting environment for project

Hello!🙂 I still have some question about setting environments.So, I have 2 projects, one - the main project, second - development version for first project (as advised to me here). I created both projects separate from each other. I use Ampli CLI and I want to make it possible to use both projects in the same ampli.json configuration but for different environments (for staging version of my app - events goes to MyDevelopmentProject, and for production - events go to MyProductionProject). For this I think I need to combine both of these projects in different environments. What I mean: Production - MyProductionProject,  Development: MyDevelopmentProject. But when I try to set MyDevelopmentProject as a development environment for my MyProductionProject I see this message:After you associate the following projects with this tracking plan, there will no longer be any projects associated with their former tracking plans. To keep things clean, we’ll delete their former tracking plans for you

Disable IP Address Tracking via Tracking Object

Hi there! I’m new to using Amplitude and I was trying to disable IP address tracking in the initialization of the Amplitude instance. Even after adding a tracking object to disable the tracking, the IP address is still being collected. This is the initialization of the code that I had:  amplitude.getInstance().init("{{amplitudekey | safe}}", { trackingOptions: { city: true, country: true, carrier: true, device_manufacturer: true, device_model: true, dma: true, ip_address: false, language: true, os_name: true, os_version: true, platform: true, region: true, version_name: true, },}); Is there something I’m doing wrong or missing? Thanks in advance for the help!

Unique Users Over Time

I’m new to Amplitude and trying to understand how the system treats unique users overtime within a segment chart.For example, if I have an event I’m tracking where I look at unique users openedTool over the last six months, does a user that activates the event in month one also get counted in month two, three, etc? Or is it unique users activating that event for the first time within the six month period?
