Why was LaunchPad created?
We want Corona SDK developers to succeed.
Corona SDK is a fantastic tool to build great cross-platform apps, yet developers still face the challenge of how to best market their apps. LaunchPad is designed to address this opportunity by offering a valuable ecosystem of services - provided by Ansca and our partners – to help your apps thrive.

Corona Analytics
What is Corona Analytics?
Corona Analytics is a free feature of LaunchPad. You can view session data about your app. This includes the number of sessions each day, the number of unique sessions, and session lengths. Session data is displayed in graphs broken up by device type (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Android) and for device types combined.
What is a “session”?
A session is the period between starting and exiting an app by one of your users. Session data includes the start time, end time, a unique identifier for the user, and some information about the operating system and device.
How do I get started? What do I have to do to start seeing data?
To get started, just build your app with Corona SDK version 2011.591 or later using a Distribution Provisioning Profile for iOS or a Private Key for Android. Then get it into users hands to start seeing data. We take care of the rest!
Can I start seeing data for an app I’m testing?
Yes. Just build your app with an Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile for iOS or a Private Key for Android. Then install the app on your test devices. If you don’t want to see data in analytics during test, build your app with a Provisioning Profile for iOS or a Debug Key for Android.
Is session data real-time?
Session data is processed and updated within a day. There is buffer for devices that do not have a connection to the Internet, which means you may see data appear later for users who weren’t connected while using your app but then connected later.
How do I remove an app?
Hover over an app in the left column navigation. You’ll see a red icon with an “x”. Click the icon. The app will be moved to a hidden list under “Removed Items”. To restore an item to the left column navigation, click “Removed Items” to expand the list. Hover over an app and click the green icon with the arrow. This will move it. Data is not removed when you move an app to “Removed Items”. It will still continue to be collected for any apps in “Removed Items”.
I don’t want data about my apps collected. How do I stop sending data to Analytics?
To stop data from being sent from your apps, just add luanchPad = false to your config.lua file. This will stop the transmission of new data. Old data will remain in Analytics.
Who do I call if I have a problem?
