@H That's an interesting idea, but in my case, from the analytics I can see
this:

The user installs the app.
10 seconds later, the exception is thrown.
10 seconds after that, the same exception is thrown (I assume the user
retried).

After that, no more reports from the user, so I assume he just gave up.

So it doesn't appear to be some split-second issue (at least not in this
case).

I think I will try (other) Mark's strategy...
