Google Analytics has updated.

Dear Maartenba,
I found Google Analytics has updated and I can't create a new property that has a tracking id like "UA-XXXXXX-XX". Now the new property's tracking id like "XXXXXXXX", just can't receive data with your great library. I've been using your library for a long time. It used to work very well. Will you update the project?

[maartenba]

Just gave it a try and I fear GA updated their API's for newly created properties :-( Will dig deeper...

[GingerLi]

Thanks for your response. It seems it is a v4 property and the new property could have streams with ids like "G-XXXXXXXX", but still can't receive data.

[maartenba]

Yeah seeing the same on a test property I created. The JS snippet for those is different too, so looks like the API Google analytics tracker uses is not the right one for these new properties

[GingerLi]

Dear Maartenba, I found we can still create an old "UA-XXXXX-XX" property following this: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10269537.
But it seems Google will abandon the old version property someday.

[maartenba]

Nice! So I guess that works for you now?

[GingerLi]

Yes. It works now. :)

Looks like the Measurement Protocol changed for GA4: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/ga4

Currently the API is in alpha status due to these limitations

Hello, wondering if anyone thinks this will support GA4, and if so, is there any sort of timeline?

Thanks

[maartenba]

@cklenk no such plans right now due to time constraints. Might happen at some point, for now downgrading the account is probably easiest.

I would also appreciate support for GA4.
