New on Apptrove: Meta Event Deduplication for More Accurate Conversion Reporting

Running Meta Ads while using multiple event tracking methods can sometimes create a hidden reporting problem: duplicate conversions. If your app sends the same event to Meta through both the Meta SDK and the Conversions API (CAPI), Meta may receive two copies of the same event. Without proper deduplication, this can inflate conversion counts, impact campaign optimization, and make performance analysis less reliable. To solve this, Apptrove now supports Meta Event Deduplication, allowing you to pass a unique Event ID and Event Time with every in-app event sent through CAPI. Meta then recognizes duplicate copies of the same event and counts the conversion only once. Why Event Deduplication Matters Many advertisers rely on both the Meta SDK and server-side tracking to improve measurement reliability. While this approach strengthens attribution, it also increases the chances of duplicate event reporting when both sources send the same conversion . With Meta Event Dedu...

What Is Beta Testing?

Image
Beta testing is the final stage of software verification, in which a prototype of the product is tested under real-world conditions by a specific group of users from outside the organisation rather than by the internal testing unit. Unlike the earlier stages of software testing, which are conducted under lab conditions, beta testing evaluates how the product works in real-life situations, taking into account the technology it runs on, as well as the operating system and environment it uses.  Beta testing is an outsourced acceptance testing used to determine whether the product is functionally ready for launch and to gather honest feedback from those who will use it. Beta testing has evolved beyond the software domain. Why It Matters More Than Ever The new products function in an incredibly fragmented environment. For instance, a mobile application must support many device models, operating systems, network regions, accessibility features, and mobile usage without a...

Data Discrepancies: Why Your App Numbers Don’t Match Up

Image
Open two dashboards for the same campaign. Look at the install numbers. Analyze the install volumes. The figures would always be different. This is not a mistake. This is one of the fundamental characteristics of mobile marketing. Industry statistics state that the gap between the platforms is normally between 10-15%. However, once the figure reaches 20%, something is wrong. One can see in Google’s developer documentation that a different attribution window and different reporting methods would lead to discrepancies in the statistics but would not be the consequence of a certain glitch. Thus, if your Mobile Measurement Platform provides 9,800 installs while Google Ads indicates 11,200 for the same period of time, just calm down.  This guide breaks down why data discrepancies happen, how fraud makes them worse, and what you can actually do to close the gap. What Are Data Discrepancies? A data discrepancy is easy to comprehend. It means when two different sources ...
