I have an app on the BigCommerce app store. I'm trying to set up conversions on Google Analytics, and I need to install my tracking code to the app store. I need to do this because users are bouncing off the app store portal before installing my app.
The url I am directing people too via my own site is:
https://apps.bigcommerce.com/details/85
Is there anyway to add the tracking code to this via BigCommerce's dev portal? Or does anyone know a way around this?
Thanks!
The BigCommerce Marketplace doesn't currently support GA tracking (or any third party tracking scripts).
We're working on building out more tracking and insights for our app partners though, so keep an eye out in the future for access to that kind of data.

Did anyone successfully implement Google Analytics 4 in an Adobe AIR app?
We have an Adobe AIR application (for Windows desktop) which currently sends tracking data to Google Analytics, and it works fine: we get to see the result in Google Analytics dashboards as well as in DataStudio.
Google documentation explains how to move from GA to GA4, but it relies on javascript in webpages, which is not relevant to an Adobe AIR project.
We tried to change the endpoint API URL, the GA property ID, add the api_secret & measurement_id parameters. We still don't see any data in GA dashboards.
We don't really know if switching to GA4 is supposed to be this straightforward, or if it would require a deeper rework of our actionscript code to take into account the new GA4 features & requirements.
This is very similar to this issue:
Google Analytics 4 - Measurement Protocol API used without gtag.js or firebase
GA4 seems to be very limiting compared to UA for non web and mobile apps; it seems to only support data from either the firebase or gtag SDKs or GTM (also web based). Apps such as desktop apps that previously used HTTP web requests via the Measurement Protocol are handicapped; it is only meant to augment the other data.
In my opinion this is a huge step back for GA.
I am setting my website to be advertised by google using google ads. In doing so I came across a section Set up analytics on your website there it showed two options out of which one is Sign in to your website builder, web hosting service, or commerce platform and paste your tracking ID into the analytics section.
I am using firebase hosting service for my website. So as mentioned I went to the analytics section of firebase but I am unable to understand where I have to paste the tracking id.
Please guide me.
If you have Firebase hosting, then you don't need to paste the tracking ID.
Just make sure you add a web app and link it with your current hosted application.
This might change overtime, but on the Firebase console, go to project settings, and scroll down till you see Your apps section. Add (if doesn't exists) a web app, and you should see a Linked Firebase Hosting site
Once linked, Analytics will start tracking metrics for you.
there is no need of going to firebase, google analytics can do it for you just go to their website navigate to your website and copy the javascript code and paste it just below the head tag
Is it possible to submit a new app or update an existing app to Windows Phone store with any automate process instead of uploading it manually?
Please suggest the solutions for the same.
I found few automated tools for ios application submission like fastlane
Not possible at the moment and no indication about such feature coming.
There may be such functionality soon.
From https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/03/31/announcing-new-dev-center-capabilities-to-increase-app-revenue-and-streamline-management/:
The new Windows Store submission API will be made available in
preview, beginning today and rolling out in waves. This new API offers
a subset of functionality provided by Dev Center as a REST API and
supports these actions for published apps: submitting updates,
modifying metadata, and adding/removing in-app products. You can
request access to the preview through the “Feedback” tab in Dev Center
by selecting “Submission API” in the “Suggestions” tab. Access will be
granted in waves, beginning with a small group of developers. Build

I need some light on the matter of Chrome Webstore registration.
I'm still confused despite searching through the web: the "app" will be only private for the site (we're trying to develop a Elgg plugin for our website that will allow users to access their drives).
1) for testing, do I need to register it (I did a search but some say yes like in the Google Drive SDK documentation, some say no in the google-drive-sdk tags)?
2) when the plugin is finished, tested and ready to go live for our users, do I still need to register it and pay 5$?
Thanks you for the answer you can provide us.
You don't need to register your app on the Chrome Web Store if you don't want to integrate with the Google Drive web UI: having the option to create a new file or open a file with your app directly from Google Drive.
Also, it might be easier for you not to create a Chrome Web Store listing while developing.
If you do need to integrate with the Google Drive web UI, but don't want your app to be public, you can publish your app to Trusted Testers only.
Maybe I'm missing something but is there a way to build a free app that integrate Google Drive without having the rate limits "per app"?
If you are not going to release the source code (e.g not making easy for other developers to "steal" your application's client ID and secret), you can request more quota from the APIs Console page under the "Quotas" pane.
For open-source project, I would advise in asking the user/developer to create their own API Project from the APIs Console and provide a "wizard" type setup for them to enter the necessary information.
