Gather analytics from command-line SDK

Proposal: Gather Analytics

May we gather analytics with the Reunion SDK?

Summary

Analytics can tell us:

  1. What type of new apps are being created?
  2. How is Reunion being added into existing apps?
  3. What are app targets: Win32 / UWP; Desktop / Xbox / HoloLens / ...

This can also be used to provide developers information about their own apps, where people can transparently see information that is being collected.

Rationale

  • This helps Microsoft to better understand developers
  • This can help developers better understand their own code

We've done similar things with the SDK in the past with help from VS team. The analytics are not always representative due to some developers not opting in or working behind firewalls (so in particular, LoB enterprise developers are undercounted). Worth investigating again for Reunion.
