# Google Reporter
Easily integrate Google Analytics into your iOS, macOS, and tvOS app without downloading any of the Google SDKs.
[Read why I created Google Reporter here](https://medium.com/swift-digest/using-google-analytics-in-your-app-without-any-sdks-46f9a70bc178)
**IMPORTANT NOTICE:** Google has officially **discontiuned** the option for mobile analytics tracking through Google Analytics. New apps are asked to use Firebase. Existing apps will stop collecting data on **October 31, 2019**. It is however still possible to use this library by setting up new tracking properties as websites instead of mobile apps (See [#14](https://github.com/ksmandersen/GoogleReporter/issues/14)).
## Set Up
Works with Carthage & CocoaPods or just put ``GoogleReporter.swift`` into your project.
From your ``AppDelegate``'s ``didFinishLaunchingWithOptions`` or where you initialize your app. You need to configure the
``GoogleReporter`` with ``UA-XXXXX-XX`` tracker ID.
```swift
import GoogleReporter
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
func application(_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
GoogleReporter.shared.configure(withTrackerId: "UA-XXXXX-XX")
return true
}
}
```
## Events
You can track any event you wish to using the ``event()`` method on the ``GoogleReporter``. Example:
```swift
func didCompleteSignUp() {
GoogleReporter.shared.event("Authentication", action: "Sign Up Completed")
}
```
## Screenviews
In many cases you'll want to track what "screens" that the user navigates to. A natural place to do that is in your ``ViewController``s ``viewDidAppear``.
You can use the ``screenView()`` method of the ``GoogleReporter`` which works the same as ``event()``.
```swift
class BeerViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
GoogleReporter.shared.screenView("Beer")
}
}
```
## Sessions
You can track individual sessions for a user by calling ``session(start: true)`` when the user opens the app and ``session(start: false)`` when they close the app. Here's an example of how to do that in your apps ``UIApplicationDelegate``:
```swift
import GoogleReporter
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
func application(_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
GoogleReporter.shared.configure(withTrackerId: "UA-XXXXX-XX")
return true
}
func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
GoogleReporter.shared.session(start: true)
}
func applicationDidEnterBackground(_ application: UIApplication) {
GoogleReporter.shared.session(start: false)
}
}
```
## Technical Notes
In order to be GDPR compliant, Google Reporter will ask Google Analytics to anonymize users IP's by default. If you wish to opt-out of this you will neeed
to set ``anonymizeIP`` to false.
The GoogleReporter uses the native ``UserDefaults.standard`` to store a random UUID that uniquely identifies the user/install. Clearing or otherwise tampering
with the UserDefaults may cause the user identifier to be lost and the GoogleReporter will generate a new unique identifier.
The GoogleReporter class is not thread-safe. To avoid bugs, always use the ``GoogleReporter.shared`` accessor from the same thread. I suggest using the main thread.
The network call to log the data will still happen on a background thread.
## Roadmap
We're planning to to add more functionality to easily interact with the Measurement Protocol.
- [x] macOS compatability
- [x] Session tracking; start, end, duration.
- [ ] Custom variable tracking for screenviews
