Is just that the ping is being sent too early at startup (as requested through `adb`). For checking the data, the ping should be triggered after some action that records data is performed. So the metrics ping is sent in a different way than the baseline and event pings? These are logged and appear in the dashboard only after sending the app into the background. It's a bit odd that it works differently from the rest. > Can you be more specific about this? It should re-use the application instance that's already open. Are you seeing a different behaviour?
