Integration with Google Analytics does not work on iOS

Question

Hi, I am trying to integrate Google Analytics in my iOS app. But it doesn’t work when I open dashbord of analytics, showing users 0 in real time, in fact it always shows this zero.

follow the steps that i have done so far

1. Download the Google Analytics SDK for iOS.

then I just followed this developer.google.com link

these are my codes.

in appdelegate.h - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { //analytics // Optional: automatically send uncaught exceptions to Google Analytics. [GAI sharedInstance].trackUncaughtExceptions = YES; // Optional: set Google Analytics dispatch interval to eg 20 seconds. [GAI sharedInstance].dispatchInterval = 20; // Optional: set Logger to VERBOSE for debug information. [[[GAI sharedInstance] logger] setLogLevel:kGAILogLevelVerbose]; // Initialize tracker. id<GAITracker> tracker = [[GAI sharedInstance] trackerWithTrackingId:@"UA-********-*"]; return YES; } in my viewcontroller.h file #import "GAITrackedViewController.h" #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> @interface TopNewsViewController : GAITrackedViewController{ } @property(nonatomic,retain)NSString *screenName; @end in my viewcontroller.m #import "GAIDictionaryBuilder.h" #import "GAI.h" #define kGAIScreenName @"TopNewsViewController" - (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated { [super viewDidAppear:animated]; id tracker = [[GAI sharedInstance] defaultTracker]; [tracker set:kGAIScreenName value:@"Home Screen"]; [tracker send:[[GAIDictionaryBuilder createAppView] build]]; } 

The following is a print in my journal

Answer 1

Wow. I have found the answer.

in our viewcontroller.m file

we need to use the screen name variable already defined in GAITrackedViewController.m

so in my case the variable name was "screenname" and I did this by declaring one variable in my viewcontroller.h.

So, I deleted this line and I added this line

"self.screenname = @" my screen name ";

NOw its working.

Other things work.

Another reason if it doesn't work: you need to wait 24-48 hours after creating the Google Tracking ID to see the results. (Even for real time)
