    I recently upgraded to Unity 5.2, and am now attempting to use the built-in, integrated Unity Analytics.

    Previously I was using Unity 5.0.1f1, and used a separate Unity Analytics package (it was not built-in). In that one, I was able to do the following:

    Code (CSharp):
    1.         if (Application.isEditor)
    2.         {
    3.             UnityAnalytics.StartSDK(UNITY_ANALYTICS_PROJECT_ID_TEST);
    4.         }
    5.         else
    6.         {
    7.             UnityAnalytics.StartSDK(UNITY_ANALYTICS_PROJECT_ID_RELEASE);
    8.         }
    I always set up two projects - one that receives analytics while I'm testing in the editor (because I'm often using debug/cheat keys, breaking things, using weird values, etc.) and another that is used for release builds. With the new integrated analytics, I can no longer initialize Unity Analytics in code, it's done through that new window that was added.

    Is it possible to choose between multiple Unity Analytics projects with the new setup? If not, can that functionality be added?

    Cheers!

    Hi @smithmj5,

    The only way to accomplish this in 5.2 would be to create two separate Unity projects with each having a unique project id in the Analytics Dashboard. Another way around this would be to downgrade to a version that supports Unity Analytics as a plugin, any version below 5.1, where you would be able to use your script. This is a feature that has been requested and is gaining support. You can vote for it to be added as a feature here, http://feedback.unity3d.com/forums/unity/suggestions?utf8=✓&status=0&category=analytics&view=hottest

    Two separate projects would be unpleasant to maintain, especially for something so simple. Thanks for the idea though!

    And downgrading isn't an option for one of my games, since I require some of the fixes in 5.1.

    I voted for the issue, thanks for pointing me to the voting page for it.

    Cheers!
