Question

Can you use google analytics to capture ios touch events such as taps and swipes in the browsers? Is it also possible to report back on the x and y coordinates of where it happened?

Answer 1

I’d recommend using a Mobile JavaScript library like Zepto.

It has a jQuery-like API, and methods specific to touch events.

So, you could do things like:

$(".slider").swipe(function(){
    _gaq.push(["_trackEvent", "Gesture", "Swipe"]);
});
