Given recent developments with COPPA, would we be able to have Launchpad Analytics as an optional plugin?
I could see app developers not wanting to have analytics enabled by accident/as a result of a bug, as this could expose said developers to liability for collecting information without consent under COPPA.
While I see your point, the most common case is that someone doesn’t think about analytics at all until they need them and we want to be able to have them switched on by default to help in that case. If you have specialized requirements we offer the configurability needed to meet them.
You can easily turn off Launchpad analytics:
http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/basics/configSettings/index.html#analytics-launchpad
The first point in the “Important” box on that page is no longer true (requiring certain libraries no longer turns analytics on even if they were turned off) and will be removed.
I was just concerned about the reemergence of the issue (introduced prior to 2013.1183) where analytics could not be disabled.

Regardless, thanks for the prompt response and your help.
