Reading a story, watching a video and completing first-run setup reach different systems. The inspected app supplies screen/session context to publisher tracking, while its content backend also handles acknowledgements needed to finish onboarding.
What activity is recorded in the inspected paths?¶
| Activity / service | What our evidence shows | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Snowplow/publisher tracking | Install/session/screen, geography and deep-link context reach the publisher tracking integration. A persistent UDS header supplies linkage. | Inventoried senders/startup, identifiers and the tracking header are suppressed. |
| Audience and feedback | Comscore/Nobo audience measurement and Usabilla events/telemetry are traced. | Initialization, dispatch and identified queue/sender paths stop. |
| Video, surveys and embedded web pages | JWPlayer metrics, BrandMetrics, experiments and diagnostic web destinations are inventoried. | Known web requests and identified built-in telemetry senders stop; every remote field is not captured. |
| First-run acknowledgements | graph.nu.nl supplies content and receives three necessary card-completion acknowledgements. |
These remain; unrelated BFF tracking events are suppressed. |
What remains and what is still unknown¶
Content, pagination, cookies needed by the retained service, real login and push/installation/DPNS registration remain. The optional onboarding skip retains topic selection and manual account/privacy/notification controls. It does not recover NU+ bodies withheld by the backend. Use the original Android 12L+ Play split set.
