Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The latest versions of both Android (prod 2020-05-18) and iOS (prod 2020-06-05) mobile apps are using /page/mobile-html to retrieve pages as HTML, those requests should be categorized as pageviews.

While these changes are in it is worth mentioning that the velocity at which the requests are being fired from the app indicates that some of the requests are not likely to be pageviews. I think it will be worth stepping back and taking the time to define what constitutes a mobile pageview.
