Definitely waiting for Godot (heh) to step up to the plate, it's missing some stuff at the moment but give it a year and I'm sure it'll get there. We're stuck with Unity for now but things like this mean plans are in place to migrate off it should it become necessary (by and large aren't hit by this yet because we charge a bunch for the app so 20p isn't a big deal.. although we don't and likely can't track installs so no idea how that works..).
Unity guesses how many installs there are an invoices based on their internal guess.
That was a wonderful reference.
