Twitter today announced that its Answers tool for application monitoring now supports Apple’s Mac OS X desktop operating system. Support for the Apple TV’s tvOS operating system is now available in beta.
Among other things, Answers can track app usage app installs by way of Twitter. Answers has been available from Twitter for iOS and Android apps since July 2014, and it became available for free a few months later. The technology was initially part of Twitter’s Crashlytics kit.

Apple recently launched App Analytics for tvOS. App Annie can now monitor tvOS apps, too.
