Analytics won't work on figma due to cookie / indexdb block on figma iframe

[softmarshmallow]

Supporting GA seems like a possible feature looking at a "Rename It" Plugin.

Approaches

• remote GA call
• enabling cookies with some tweaks
• other 3rd solution

Using Measurement api seems to be like a approach.

https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/ga4/sending-events?client_type=gtag#send_an_event

Could not make it work. cannot find information about what app_instance_id was. (cannot retrieve it from web)

via gtag api won't work either.

Found the solution i think.

https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/ga4-event-builder/

here, we can test the analytics4. which app instance id was not required.

Also tested with firebase app id

Done by hosting the plugin to web.

Seems like specifying app_instance_id is mandatory. Am I missing something?

At some point. I gave up this approach having analytics directly in figma plugin iframe. Instead, i hosted the plugin ui as a general website with external url with indexeddb, + (other apis available) which is best for using existing analytics services without any unexpectations ;)
