google-analytics-plugin: trackView() doesn't track

Plugin is not tracking views. Events are working fine. web-app (ofc not using the plugin) is working fine.

google reports http status -1 (not always), which seems not to track. Also if sometimes it’s tracking at least the intial load, it never reports the correct active page or page title, it always takes it out of the title-tag (basically sends a hit without paramters).

I’ve also got a warning which i cant really place (also only sometimes): Aug 8 10:57:12 iPhone *[2171] <Warning>: INFO: GoogleAnalytics 3.14 -[GAIAnalyticsPropertiesStore propertyRecordForTrackingId:] (GAIAnalyticsPropertiesStore.m:464): Record for tracking id UA-* not found

Current log was using the sample line with “Screen Title”. I tried multiple different variations.

My implementation is pretty basic atm as I had to ditch ngCordova for it (they’re still using windows.analytics)

var d = $q.defer();
$window.ga.startTrackerWithId(GA_ID, function (response) {
    d.resolve(response);
}, function (error) {
    console.log("startTrackerWithId err -> " + error);
    d.reject(error);
});

$window.ga.trackView('Screen Title');

var d = $q.defer();
$window.ga.trackEvent(category, action, label, value, function (response) {
    d.resolve(response);
}, function (error) {
     console.log("trackEvent err -> " + error);
    d.reject(error);
});

Google seem to have changed it so that app and web views can be amalgamated. They say here:

If you send web and app data for the same property (UA-XXXXX-Y), Google Analytics will display both sets of data in views for that property. This allows for combined app and web views.

I’m using this plugin to send TrackViews to a web property but they’re not appearing. 😦

EDIT: In order to see these, you have to create a new “View” in Google Analytics for app data. At that point the live stream will show page views fine.

OHH, I think you have the wrong config; you are using a web app GA instead of the movil app GA.

Mobile app use the concept of screen instead of page view. You need somehow to change the type or create a new tracking.

No such luck. Switched back to 1.5.6 and changed to:

// Initialize Google Analytics
window.ga.startTrackerWithId('UA-XXXXXXXX-1');
window.ga.trackEvent('Launch', 'Start'); // Store The Event
window.ga.trackView('Login');

I get the event, but no page view: screen shot 2016-08-09 at 9 12 31 am
