Not tracking OS as Android for Fenix activity #8974

Closed data-sync-user closed 2 years ago

data-sync-user commented 3 years ago

We don't seem to be reporting any OS for fxa - activity events where service = fenix. See here: https://analytics.amplitude.com/mozilla-corp/chart/new/lyclkur

Note that we are tracking the OS for individual events like registrations and logins. See here: https://analytics.amplitude.com/mozilla-corp/chart/new/nfqxn7z

This problem was reported to me indirectly by Karlof who observed that the engagement rate of Android had declined: https://analytics.amplitude.com/mozilla-corp/chart/4464ayl

This seems likely to be due to Fenix using a weird user-agent string of MozacFetch/X.Y.Z rather than something that says "android" in it.

Is the bug here that Fenix is using a weird user-agent?  If we should start recording a new user-agent as Android, is there documentation for what the user agent is & will be?

Actually, it looks like an upcoming release may revert to using the default browser user-agent string, ref https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/android-components/issues/7719 (so that'll be something like "Mozilla/5.0 (Android 9; Mobile; rv:82.0) Gecko/82.0 Firefox 82.0" we our existing code should know how to handle correctly).

We could also look for any UA strings starting with "MozacFetch" and classify them as android in the meantime, while waiting for that to hit release.

FxA is no longer synchronizing all issues between Jira and Github. We are closing open issues and will selectively synchronize in the future.
