Key                              Description
[CONTAINER][ANDROID] Data stream container (database table, CSV file, etc.) where the conversation data from Android devices is stored (the AWARE client saves this data on different tables for Android and iOS). This can be a single container or an array of containers
[CONTAINER][IOS] Data stream container (database table, CSV file, etc.) where the conversation data from iOS devices is stored (the AWARE client saves this data on different tables for Android and iOS). This can be a single container or an array of containers

Assumptions/Observations

  1. The timestamp of conversation rows in iOS is in seconds so we convert it to milliseconds to match Android’s format
