I tried disabling launchPad as I want to use Flurry for my analytics. When I did, I get a message saying “analytics” requires launchPad, config.lua setting ignored.
I really don’t want to send analytics to two providers, and I much rather use Flurry. I don’t understand why Flurry would require launchPad. [import]uid: 160288 topic_id: 33443 reply_id: 333443[/import]
Any feedback from Corona on this? Is there a reason LaunchPad is required to send analytic data to Flurry? Why do we need to send analytics data to both Corona and Flurry when using Flurry? [import]uid: 160288 topic_id: 33443 reply_id: 133042[/import]

@cspence, I just implemented Flurry to my current project, and it looks like launchPad is not required for Flurry to work. I’m not sure why you think it is. May be you haven’t set launchPad to false in your config.lua? See below.
application =
{
launchPad = false,
} Naomi
P.S. Woops, I just read your first post. I don’t know why you are getting the error. I’m not getting one. What device are you working with? iOS? Android? Mine works fine on iOS devices. BTW, I read somewhere on Forum about some issue someone else was/is having with Flurry and Android… Could it be the same problem? [import]uid: 67217 topic_id: 33443 reply_id: 133917[/import]
When I disable launch pad the simulator tells me when using Analytics launch pad is required and config.lua will be ignored. [import]uid: 160288 topic_id: 33443 reply_id: 133926[/import]
@cspence, I don’t think Flurry works with Simulator. I call analytics.init and analytics.logEvent only if system.getInfo(“environment”) does not return “simulator”. I wonder if calling these functions from simulator is causing you the problem…
Naomi
Edit: I just tested it. Yes, if I call analytics.init and analytics.logEvent from simulator, I get the same message. If you don’t want to see it, you just need to check the device before calling these functions:
local isSimulator = system.getInfo("environment") == "simulator"
if (not isSimulator) then
analytics.init("XXXXXXXXXXXXX") -- replace XXXXXXXXXXXXX with the ID you get from Flurry
analytics.logEvent("Log This Event")
end

I am not referring to the message that analytics does not work in the simulator ( I know that it doesn’t), I am referring to the fact that you cannot use Flurry without forcing LaunchPad.
This causes analytics data to be sent to both Flurry & Corona (albeit different data) but I do not want analytic data going to Corona as I am using Flurry. But as soon as I "require “analytics” (to Enable Flurry) it forces Launchpad on (and tells me in the console it ignored my launchpad off directive because it is required w/ analytics).

Hmmm… I now understand what is giving you the angst. The thing is, I don’t see any data on Dashboard, so I’m assuming the message you are seeing is outdated and no data is collected by launchPad (because if it is, then I should be seeing the analytics data there just as I do at Flurry site):

But then, the launchPad Analytics has been kind of messed up for me from the get-go, so I actually don’t know if Corona is gathering data without me knowing. It would be rather odd, though. Anyhow, let’s hope Corona Staff will reply and let us know what really is the case.

Hey, @cspence, here’s a relevant topic you should follow. It addresses the issue surrounding launchPad true/false & possibly overriding its setting. Hopefully, Corona Staff will clarify this for good and, if applicable, update the doc and remove outdated error messages:

I would really like to see the tie between Flurry Analytics and Corona Analytics broken.
There is no reason we should be forced to send analytics stats to Corona in order to use Flurry. [import]uid: 160288 topic_id: 33443 reply_id: 138123[/import]
