I started looking into it for iOS and making a test app to see what it looked like.

Then I read in the integration instructions: You will also need to add the SystemConfiguration and CoreTelephony frameworks, and libz.dylib library...

From: https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/analytics/documentation/ios...

Why would they need the CoreTelephony framework? No other analytics providers I've used (Flurry, Localytics) require this framework.

More information about the CoreTelephony framework: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Networ...

I'd guess it's to report Carriers, I've seen analytics products do that in the past.
