Description

The Reader currently has tracking in the following way:

DEEP_LINKED,
DEEP_LINKED_FALLBACK,
DEEP_LINK_NOT_DEFAULT_HANDLER,

and in each of these they include the URI the app was started with:

http[s]://wordpress.com/read/blogs/{blogId}/posts/{postId}
http[s]://wordpress.com/read/feeds/{feedId}/posts/{feedItemId}
http[s]://{username}.wordpress.com/{year}/{month}/{day}/{postSlug}

We do not mess with app opening at all.

@frosty do you think this is a viable solution for iOS?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Reader's existing DEEP_LINKED, DEEP_LINKED_FALLBACK, and DEEP_LINK_NOT_DEFAULT_HANDLER stats and the listed universal-link URI formats. Define the additional tracking needed for iOS while keeping app opening unchanged; the issue does not name files or tests to run.
