Add Google Analytics #17

We should look at adding GA. Doesn't need to be for v1.0 release but it would be great to track some of the same items we currently do on mobile to better understand usage differences. I'll link in a few related mobile issues when I'm in front of my machine.

Would Firebase Analytics work here also to avoid the limits of GA?

barbeau commented 8 years ago

I haven't dug into the Firebase SDK enough to know at this point. If they have a normal Java JAR-based library it should work.

I should note here that between the OBA iOS and Android apps, we are way over our reporting quota, which is why we are considering Firebase for those platforms (it's unlimited reporting for up to 500 event types).

Could you please point me to a document / ticket that specifies what GA events are being tracked on mobile?
