Ionic implementation not firing

adigourdi commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to track app start (and other views) but nothing shows up on Google Analytics, and no errors are reported on the console

This is the code I'm using on app.component.ts

...
import { GoogleAnalytics } from '@ionic-native/google-analytics';
...
const GA_TRACKING_ID = 'UA-XXXXXXXXX-X';
const GA_TRACKING_DISPATCH = 3; // default 30, doesn't work either
...
export class MyApp implements OnInit {
  ...
  constructor(
    ...
    private ga: GoogleAnalytics,
  ) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.platform.ready().then(() => {
      console.log('platform ready');
      ...
      if (this.platform.is('cordova')) {
        console.log('platform is cordova');
        ...
        this.initGoogleAnalytics();
      }
    });
  }

  private initGoogleAnalytics() {
    console.log('registering tracker');

    this.ga
      .startTrackerWithId(GA_TRACKING_ID, GA_TRACKING_DISPATCH)
      .then(() => {
        console.log('Google analytics is ready now');

        // the component is ready and you can call any method here

        this.ga.debugMode(); // no debugging info shows up on console
        this.ga.setAllowIDFACollection(false); // either true or false doesn't work

        this.ga.trackView('start')
          .then(a => console.log('tracked start', a))
          .catch(e => console.log('tracking start failed', e))
        ;
      })
      .catch(e => console.log('Error starting GoogleAnalytics', e));
  }
}

The track start command should fire normally, with a dispatch of 3s, it should show up on analytics right away

Log result on console, no errors occured

platform ready
platform is cordova
registering tracker
Google analytics is ready now
tracked start Track Screen: start

For the record, Google Analytics Admin no longer allows registering mobile app tracking without firebase, so I created it as a website, and created a mobile view

I set the domain as https://mobile.website.com and tried setting the compaign url in trackView as https://mobile.website.com/start, and still nothing

I checked the tracking ID, and it's correct
