I have given promo code of my new paid app to many people. Now in the Sale and Trend section of iTunes Connect, I saw my app has been downloaded many times. So is app downloaded by redeeming promos code counted in there or not? And if yes, is there a way to see separated number of downloads by redeeming and by purchasing? Thank you!
Easy answer, if you find it ;)
Reading iTunes Connect guide (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/ProvidingPromoCodes.html):
When apps are purchased using promo codes, the promo code is included in earnings reports and sales reports for the transaction.
So yes, promo codes count as normal downloads.
