\<Warning\>: VERBOSE: GoogleAnalytics 3.15 +[GAITrackerModel initialize] (GAITrackerModel.m:88): idfa class missing, won't collect idfa

I’m getting this in my Xcode console with a game I have the new Google Analytics plugin in.  I’ve got everything set up right and still am seeing no reporting in Google Analytics…  A couple of pages I saw online said Apple rejects apps with this…

Also, it appears that the console is spitting out verbose reporting for each and every Google Analytics call from my app…

Thanks,

Nate

Did you manage to solve this issue?  I am getting the same warning.  I am also not seeing any reporting yet.

If anyone has any solution, kindly share it here.  I would need to get this resolved before submitting to the App Store.  Thanks in advance.

I’ve asked about this.

Thanks Rob for looking into this matter.

Interesting. Is the app in the store or just running on your device. I have implemented Google Analytics for iOS and although it isn’t published yet, I am seeing data in my Analytics console. 

What version of iOS is it running on? 

I am testing on a iOS 9.2 /iPhone 6. I’ll try to grab my other devices and see what shows up.

Running on my device. I tried to add this to an existing app I have in the app store.  Tested on iPhone 6+ running iOS 9.3.1.  I am using Daily build version 2016.2861.

Did you see similar warning appearing on your Xcode console?

Just to add, Android version is working perfectly fine.

Just tested on my phone. And yes I see the warning (so it might get rejected):

But I still see the data in the console. Hopefully it won’t get rejected. I really want to track my advertising through Google.

Same here.  Hope this issue can be fixed soon.

Can I get one of you to file a bug report please? It needs to be a minimal project that causes this error to show up. You need to at a minimum have a main.lua, config.lua and build.settings file and any other assets needed to let us build and run it on a device.  Put all of that in a .zip file and use the Report a Bug link above.  When typing in the description of the bug, please post a link to this forum thread. Upon completion, you will get an email confirming the submission. There will be a CaseID# in the subject. Please post that back here as a reference.

Once this is done I can get it to the engineers who built the plugin.

Thanks

If nobody has done it yet, I’ll try to get it to you tonight. That being said, I am fairly sure that Google Analytics only uses the IDFA for linking with the iTunes store (which is currently in beta). From the few days of me running Google Analytics on my iOS devices, I don’t see any information missing.

There seems to be an issue with the build server now.  Kept getting the following errors.

iOS build failed (12)

ERROR: Build Failed: There was a problem linking the app.

Please refer to this thread I created.

I have submitted a bug report but did not receive any case number in my email.  Is this supposed to be immediate?

14

Yes, the email should be withing about 5 minutes. This is probably an indication that the bug didn’t get submitted. I checked using your email and didn’t find any open bugs. Can you try again?

Rob

I have just re-submitted but still did not receive any email.

16

Can you upload the .zip file somewhere that I can grab it and post your description here and I’ll submit it.

Thanks

In any case, the project file is very simple.  Just simply initialise the google analytics plugin and you will see the warning appearing on the Xcode console.

Please see attached.

Description:

Xcode console showing the following error when initialising the Google Analytics plugin.  Works fine on Android.

I have attached it in my previous post. Thanks.
