A major issue for me recently is that I've found my users VERY distrustful of ANYTHING regarding tracking, cloud usages, etc.

I'm just an ISV and have no evil intentions but I"m constantly having to defend myself against people saying I'm trying to track them too much.

I'm trying to track app version numbers, how often features are used, etc.

Yeah but that can be used against your users.

I've used user-agent's from the facebook app against a user for example(legit work :) ). It contains the phone version,app version and so much other detail that's a unique identifier.
