Live telemetry

Live telemetry is the term used to define the analytical information collected from applications being used by their target audience or beta testers. These analytic values are invaluable for feature rich mobile applications to identify how the customers are actually engaging with these applications on different hardware configurations, since Xamarin applications may be targeting devices running iOS, Android, or Windows Phone with various hardware configurations and peripherals.
