<ul>

  <li><strong>Analytics</strong> - The Enhanced Ecommerce API allows your app

to send product related information and actions to Google Analytics. Use this

API to measure impressions of products seen by users, checkout steps, and

products purchased. This information can be analyzed for the effectiveness of

marketing and merchandising efforts, including the impact of internal

promotions, coupons, and affiliate marketing programs.

  <li><strong>App Indexing</strong> - The App Indexing API provides a way

for developers to notify Google about deep links in their native apps and

allows the Google Search App, version 3.6 and above, to drive re-engagement

through Google Search

<a href="https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/106230"

class="external-link">query autocompletions</a>, providing fast and easy access to

  </li>

  <li><strong>Play Games</strong> - This release introduces the Quests and

Saved Games services. The Quests service gives you the ability to issue

time-bound in-game challenges based on Events data sent from your game, without

republishing your game (for example:  Your game sends an event each time a

“gem” is found by a player, and you create a quest to “Find 20 gems”). Players

can complete a quest to earn rewards. Saved Games offers improved functionality

for saving game state information and visually displaying player game progression.

    communication channel between your handheld and wearable apps. The API

    consists of a set of data objects that the system can send and synchronize

    and listeners that notify your apps of important events from the other

    device.
