airship is added and configured in the app as a tracking service events for airship are configured that all events are sent by setting " eventsenabledbydefault eventsenabledbydefault " to true true the event " issue downloaded issue downloaded " is configured, but the " enabled enabled " property is omitted order of evaluation the app user taps on the download button of an issue so that the download starts after the download completes, the app fires the " issue downloaded issue downloaded " event the app's internal tracking management searches for this event configuration the event configuration is available and the next step is to check for the “ enabled enabled ” property the " enabled enabled " property has been omitted the tracking management therefore searches for the “
