Okay. So, to summarise:
- Android uses sections=all for refreshes
- iOS uses sections=all for pageviews, generally
3. iOS is shortly to also use sections=all for refreshes
Yes, with the exception that there will always be some people who have not updated their iOS app and will continue to use section=0 for their page views. Alas, it is an app, so this happens.
...1, 2 and 3 will all look the same, minus UA differences between (1) and (2,3)
IOW, there is shortly to be no visible difference, from server-side, between a "refresh" and a "pageview", for iOS users. Do I understand correctly? If so, I have some ideas for how we could mitigate this problem and make pageviews viable again *purses fingers*.
I believe so.
What are your ideas?
