Is there any support/library to use Google Analytics in expo apps? I tried to use this library GitHub - betaacid/expo-analytics: Google Analytics integration for use with React Native apps built on Expo, but it is yet to resolve web + app project issues for a long time.
I don’t see any working GA library for expo. I would appreciate if anyone can suggest me one.
We have been using expo-analytics in production for over a year. It works on android, ios and web just fine.
You have to make sure that you use the old method (web only) and not the newer App + Web project on the GA side. You can ensure this by checking you have a UA-XXX* token and not a G-XXX* token.
The difference is explained here. You’re perfectly fine using the older method.
If you DON’T want that, and you DON’T want to eject, as far as I can tell, the only way is to use FireBase Analytics.
Thanks derk-jan. Yes, the old method works fine. But can GA tell whether the data came from the actual mobile apps and from the website?
Yes. The easiest way is to set a custom user property for the session, but you can always* use known properties, such as the browser, to segment on this. Here are the analytics for our demo application:
These values map like this:
| name | source |
|---|---|
| Safari (in-app) | Mobile Application on iOS |
| Android Runtime | Mobile Application on Android |
| Everything else (Chrome in this case) | Web |
