Facebook Analytics
View and activate on the Corona Store
This plugin allows you to log events and user info through facebook analytics for iOS and Android
Hi mr. Scott!
I love that you’ve made FB app events available for corona. However, there seems to be an issue with the build settings when building this for iOS. No problem with android. (I’m not yet using any events, just trying to build it with the plugin added to build settings).

What might be wrong there?
Use an older version, corona has a bug in there newer builds.
You could update the docs to mention that fb analytics replaces the coronas fb plugin.
Also, update this part:
publisherId = “com.scottrules44”,
Thanks for the help! Worked with build 3007
updated
Hi again, Scott!
Is it possible to use this with corona’s facebook plugin?
[“plugin.facebook.v4”] =
{
publisherId = “com.coronalabs”,
supportedPlatforms = { iphone=true, android=true, [“android-kindle”]=true }
},
It seems to always fail in building.

How would I set up a Facebook login while using your plugin?
it should work with corona plugin on iOS, I might try to include the Facebook plugin with my Facebook analytics plugin. I don’t want to run into trouble with corona legal wise.
Try building without the Facebook plugin, I push an experimental build that has facebook v4 plugin bundled with the Facebook analytics plugin.
Starting today if you are using 2017.3128 or higher the plugin will set the Facebook v4a plugin as a dependency. It is now the recommended Facebook SDK of Corona.
Hi Scott,
My builds are succeeding but when I try to run my app in Xcode simulator I get this error.
Runtime error: module 'plugin.facebookAnalytics' not found:resource (plugin.facebookAnalytics.lu) does not exist in archive
My build.settings and main.lua are set up correctly, I think. If you don’t know of an immediate issue that could be causing this, I’ll post them for you.
Of note, in my console log when I build for the simulator it shows this
Apr 10 22:55:10.182 Analyzing plugins...Apr 10 22:55:10.182 Found native plugin: /Users/craigjanis/Desktop/Playmatic.app/.build/plugin.facebook.v4 Apr 10 22:55:10.183 Found native plugin: /Users/craigjanis/Desktop/Playmatic.app/.build/plugin.flurry.analytics Done. Analyzing Lua plugins... Apr 10 22:55:10.183 Examining plugin: plugin.facebook.v4 Examining plugin: plugin.flurry.analytics Examining plugin: plugin.facebookAnalytics Done.
It doesn’t show that the facebookAnalytics plugin is found, but it does seem to be “examining” it, whatever that means.
If you believe there is a bug file it here
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf-V3z-V3FZ5y9Sb19cxVfjx7fSRV9HIbpAGptN7DaY3Ki_DA/viewform
Ok, I submitted it.
Scott - thanks for making the plugin. The documentation says to use the following require in the lua file:
local facebook = require("plugin.facebook.v4") local facebookAnalytics = require "plugin.facebookAnalytics" facebookAnalytics.init()
But given that Corona now uses v4a. Should that first line be this instead? thx!
local facebook = require( "plugin.facebook.v4a" )You can use either
I’ve got trouble using custom events and multiple parameters:
Here is the event I tried:
facebookAnalytics.logEvent(“Hello game3”, {myParams = “hello”, myParams2 = 3})
But when I try to make a segment in the facebook console, I can see the first “myParams”, but I can’t see the “myParams2”. Has anyone already tried to use the plugin with multiple parameters?
I’m not quite sure about how to use it. The doc tells :
– params(number)(optional) other params of eventhere(App Event Schema)
But I expected params to be a lua table not a number. What am I missing?
Can you file a bug report
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf-V3z-V3FZ5y9Sb19cxVfjx7fSRV9HIbpAGptN7DaY3Ki_DA/viewform
I’ve filled a bug report. Basically, my conclusions after in depth testings are:
-You can’t pass both parameters and a valueToSum in the same event.
-You can’t set parameters value to a number. It only works if it’s a string.
Any news about those bugs? I really need to, at least, be able to send events with a valueToSum and a parameter without this parameter being ignored.
It’s the second event type described in the documentation of the plugin:
facebookAnalytics.logEvent(“Hello world”, 100, {world = “hello”})
But it’s not working. I mean when calling this event, the param world is not sent. I’m sad the plugin sample does not include such event.
Also the fact that parameters cannot be number is annoying to make some decent analytics.
This has been patched
