Google Analytics Property setup for React Native App in managed expo #61

Closed BillyCottrell closed 4 years ago

BillyCottrell commented 4 years ago

So I am making my Bachelor Thesis around analytics in React Native environment with managed expo by using 3 different analytics (GA, MS App Center Analytics, and this one), and i am wondering how you setup the property in Google Analytics. When choosing web for the property you need to provide an url which I don't have since it is an app that's running locally. Can i somehow provide an url that I have which isn't used or is there an other way to do this? Because with the explanation from the readme i have no clue how it would work for apps (only for websites that are online).

The URL shouldn't matter. Generally, I enter the marketing site URL for the product (eg. if I were setting this up for the Strava app, I'd put in strava.com).

Okay that's good to know, does expo also support integrations with google tag manager or other google products? Or is there a way to use them? @ryanvanderpol

I'll take that as a no i guess.
