Analytics for MacOS apps?

As far as I can tell all Coronas analytics plugins only support mobile devices.

I need analytics in my current MacOS app. Like error reporting and basic user behavior. 

Any suggestions on what to use or do?

Thanks.

You could implement Google Analytics through their REST API (I’m pretty sure they have one)

They do have a rest api: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/v1/devguide#apptracking

I guess I just wanted to ask if anyone else already did this, so I don’t have to spend time doing it :slight_smile:

I am going to see if I can get Jon Jonssons plugin to work on MacOS:

Would be nice with an officially supported MacOS analytics plugin from CL though.

I don’t think to many analytics companies have desktop sdks unfortunately. I know Google does not have one, all company’s think that you only build for mobile or web browser.

Scott is right. Desktop apps are not apps were you normally see things like advertising (web apps yes, desktop not so much), analytics,  and such. SDK’s to build things like we have for mobile are few and far between.

FYI: Jon Jonssons Google Analytics plugin works with MacOS apps.
