I am trying to understand the 2 million download limit for access to PCC.
- It says that Analytics provides information about first time downloads, but the linked documentation explicitly says that Total Downloads in Analytics (which does not seem to exist anymore) includes first time downloads and redownloads. Can you clarify where this data currently exists?
- While I do not have any apps approaching 2 million right now, my app with the most downloads is entirely free and has been on the App Store since 2012. The app was intended as a Lite version for users to try out and decide whether they wanted the paid version. In modern apps, In-App Purchases accomplish something similar; as I move forward with new apps, I would like to avoid a situation where people increase my first time download count but don't end up using the app. It seems like any freemium model would be detrimental to staying eligible for PCC. Do you have any recommendations?
