Question

I am trying to port this javascript version of GA to native iOS SDK

pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXXX-1");
pageTracker._setDomainName(".test.org");
pageTracker._trackPageview();

I know how to set the UA account and how to report a pageView, but how do I set the domain name ?

 [[GANTracker sharedTracker] startTrackerWithAccountID:@"UA-XXXXXXX-1"
                                    dispatchPeriod:kGANDispatchPeriodSec
                                          delegate:nil];


  if (![[GANTracker sharedTracker] trackPageview:@"/"
                               withError:&error]) { // Handle error here  }

Just following up from my comments. You don’t need domain in the Google Analytics native code tracker for iOS. It’s used on the web so you can track traffic at a more granular level on sites where multiple sub-domains might be used. For example, if you have a generic “Products” web page, but the same Products page lives on dogs.mystore.com/products and cats.mystore.com/products, and you want to use the same tracker but differentiate the traffic between those two sites, you can leverage the domain variable in the Javascript API. I can’t think of a use case like this where it would be needed behind a native app.

Here’s a reference for it related to the JavaScript API

Bottom line, it’s not needed. 🙂
