Well, it seems to be a common theme to build a server that uses the flag eval _server_ SDK to evaluate a bunch of flags and then pass them back to the client.

For example, a client may call myserver.com/mobile-flags?merchant=abcdef&device=123456&os=ios&os_version=15.2&app_version=6.1 and the server will pass back: flag1: true flag2: 39 flag3: false flag4: green

This seems to be a common theme. For example, LaunchDarkly has a mobile client SDK, but they charge by MAU, which would be untenable. So folks tend to write a proxy for the mobile apps to call. If the client (as in my example above) doesn't specify which flags it wants, then the metrics are missing, whether you're using a commercial product or your own: it'll simply tell you that all the flags got used. (Of course, you could be collecting metrics from the client apps).

But based on our experience, you'd be better of having the mobile client pass in an explicit list of desired flags. Which will give accurate metrics.

Hope that clarifies what I meant.
