Registration

Before implementing the Google Analytics plugin, you must setup a Firebase Project and add google-services.json for Android and/or add GoogleService-Info.plist for iOS, provided in the Firebase console, to project settings to your Solar2D project's root directory alongside main.lua.

Syntax

local googleAnalytics = require( "plugin.googleAnalytics.v2" )

Project Settings

To use this plugin, add an entry into the plugins table of build.settings. When added, the build server will integrate the plugin during the build phase.

    },
    plugins =
