For the Game Developers out there

[misc86]

Is there a way for the game developer to tell where each user that plays their game is geographically located? Is this information that the game developer can easily obtain?

I guess what i am trying to say is, lets say a developer has a ad agency who wants to place ads in game, but the ad agency wants certain ads to appear for the user depending on their geographial location (the ad company has different ads for vancouver, calgary, and toronto that advertise local businesses), can the developer easily cater to this request?

Yes but the permission would show the app can record your gps location

Yes, this can be done. But, like Yeahha mentioned, we are required to disclose whether or not our application uses GPS data, so it's not something that can be done secretly.

You can also implement Google Analytics, which uses the IP adress to determine the location.
