Analytics for Plugins (RIP: Google Analytics SDK)

Hi there,

since Google shut down their Analytics SDK recently, I was wondering what you guy are using as an alternative for plugins.
As far as I know Firebase only allows for iOS and Android Apps.

Has anyone implemented a solution? Is there a tutorial?

where do you see it’s deprecated? The doc is still live and my plugins are still reporting…

Google: “google analytics sdk 2019”
Apparently it will be shut down in October 2019.

Also when I try to add a new account or property it forces me to use Firebase.

A quick google suggests it’s being shutdown for mobile devices only and they encourage Firebase for these instead.

FWIW:

If you have properties that receive app data (no web, no Measurement Protocol) …

The JUCE analytics module demo is using the measurement protocol, so continue working with that way shouldn’t be affected as I read this.

Hi guys!
I’m facing the same issue with Google Analytics and Juce.
Google is migrating to GA4 and it’s not possible to get a UA api key. We need to use a GA4 api key.
But, the problem is to get this api key we have to set a data stream and the only one proposed are “web” “Android” and “iOS”.
Does someone found a solution?
Thanks
