Does play store add any details of user to app details(meta-data) ? So they can track the user.

Like ... If the app is shared with other devices they will able to know about actually user, who downloaded that.

Depends . If you have given them location access then they track you to give you best services . It also stores your login details so that you are informed when someone logs in your account from other device

Cyborg🤖 ohh okay😅... No they don't,m the creditials are stored in different files or in secure clouds. And sharing the application won't result in sharing of your information 😊 I hope this helps😊⭐👍happy coding

Cyborg🤖 as far as I know they store the meta data of an app only in your device ,once shared the metadata gets reset and fills in new info of new user. But of photographs the metadata is stored.
