import { Analytics } from 'capacitor-analytics';
const analytics = new Analytics();

//
// user id
analytics.setUserID({ value: '1337' });

//
// user attributes
// google don't allow use of sensitive data
// like names, emails, card numbers, etc.
analytics.setUserProp({
  key: 'city',
  value: 'San Francisco'
});

//
// some event
analytics.logEvent({
  name: 'purchase',
  params: { items: '[1, 2, 3]', total: 254.5 }
});

Navigate to the project settings page for your app on Firebase.

Download the GoogleService-Info.plist file. In Xcode right-click on the yellow folder named "App" and select the Add files to "App".

Tip: if you drag and drop your file to this location, Xcode may not be able to find it.

Download the google-services.json file and copy it to android/app/ directory of your capacitor project.

• ionic start my-cap-app --capacitor
• cd my-cap-app
• npm install --save capacitor-analytics
• mkdir www && touch www/index.html
• sudo gem install cocoapods (only once)
• npx cap add ios
• npx cap sync ios (every time you run npm install)
• npx cap open ios
• sign your app at xcode (general tab)
• add GoogleService-Info.plist to the app folder in xcode

1. In Xcode, select Product > Scheme > Edit scheme
2. Select Run from the left menu
3. Select the Arguments tab
4. In the Arguments Passed On Launch section, add -FIRAnalyticsDebugEnabled

Tip: every time you change a native code you may need to clean up the cache (Product > Clean build folder) and then run the app again.

• ionic start my-cap-app --capacitor
• cd my-cap-app
• npm install --save capacitor-analytics
• mkdir www && touch www/index.html
• npx cap add android
• npx cap sync android (every time you run npm install)
• npx cap open android
• add google-services.json to your android/app folder
• [extra step] in android case we need to tell Capacitor to initialise the plugin:

on your MainActivity.java file add import io.stewan.capacitor.analytics.AnalyticsPlugin; and then inside the init callback add(AnalyticsPlugin.class);

Now you should be set to go. Try to run your client using ionic cap run android --livereload --address=0.0.0.0.

Tip: every time you change a native code you may need to clean up the cache (Build > Clean Project | Build > Rebuild Project) and then run the app again.

For existing projects you can upgrade all capacitor related packages (including this plugin) with this single command

npx npm-upgrade '*capacitor*' && npm install
