A place of many ramblings about macOS and development. If you find something useful on here, it's probably an accident.

In App Store Connect’s Analytics feature and iTunes Podcast Analytics, the error ‘Not Enough Data’ can occur and data is not available for a specific app or group of apps. This is not a bug, but rather a feature by Apple to protect user privacy. If you receive the error Not Enough Data when attempting to access analytics data for your app in App Store Connect, do not presume that there is no data at all for the app, but simply that there is not enough data to be able to show data to you without the possibility of providing identifiable information by correlating the information provided with information gleaned from exports of the data in Analytics.

To rectify this, you need to have your app or podcast downloaded more, in a more recent timespan, by users who have opted in to sending app diagnostic and usage information to app developers. Downloads over a long period of time do not necessarily mean that there is enough data to not show potentially identifiable information, because the time period can be selected to be as short as a single day, causing App or Podcast Analytics Not Enough Data to be shown for the app or podcast.

Why do I sometimes see an error that there isn’t enough data?
To protect customer privacy, we only show data in App Analytics after a certain number of data points are available

iTunes Connect Analytics FAQ

Apps that do have enough data to show app units and other overview information may not have enough data to show specific sections of the iTunes Connect App Analytics report. For example, an app with plenty of app units may not have enough downloads through the custom campaigns (or through websites) to show campaign analytics in the Sources tab. This also applies to the Retention tab, whereby not enough data may exist to show retention data.

The solution to this is simply to have more downloads for your app, by users who have opted in to having diagnostic and usage data sent to app developers. There’s no bug in iTunes Connect—this is a privacy feature for your users.

Good evening,

I am wondering why there is not enough data for my podcast to show any analytics. Anchor says that 21% of my podcasts plays are coming from Apple Podcast. Can you please explain? Thank you.
