Hello guys,

I know it is an old issue and most of you probably have already solved it, but I thought I should share with with the ONLY solution I could find. It's Proguard! It is really simple and easy to use (in this case) and the tutorial is here https://medium.com/all-titanium/deal-with-titanium-modules-and-its-missing-support-for-android-multidex-546de5486d13#.y4t50z77p . Hope you enjoy and that it helps you as well.

what facility is provided for users not keen on being part of analytics to opt-out? without cracking your app

[asiby]

None.

It's up to each app developer to have that in the settings ... then disable the analytics module accordingly. However, one has to ask what someone could be hiding if they are trying to opt out of Google Analytics in a simple mobile app (I am assuming it's a simple app). Most of the time, it is used in order to improve the content delivery flow of the app by knowing how people are using the app.

In our case, we have simply explained what we are really doing with Google Analytics and that it cannot and will not be disabled. If they do not want that, then they should not install our app. None of the data we collect can be used to identify a user. We just want to collect information that will help us know the most used features in the app, the most popular pages, the number of time the app is launched, etc. Most importantly, we never collect the GPS location because that can be used for pin pointing a user by linking them with a physical address.
