    I'm new to Unity analytics service. I just checked the official manual with version "2019.3", it says using "AnalyticsEvent" class to send standard events. However, I can only API script reference of "AnalyticsEvent" class prior to version "2018.2", and it says the api is deprecated. So is the manul not update-to-date? what's right way to send standard events for now?

    AnalyticsResult ar = Analytics.CustomEvent(...);
    Debug.Log("Result = " + ar.ToString();

    or AnalyticsEvent.[Standard Event]

    The docs are not quite up to date.

    Thanks for the reply. But I don't completely get what you mean.
    So is AnalyticsEvent class deprecated or not? Should we still use AnalyticsEvent API after Unity 2018.2?

    Are you getting an error? I don't quite follow. Yes, it should work. By deprecated, do you mean completely removed? If it's present, then it will work. We need to update our docs as I mentioned. If this is for a new project, you might also want to take a look at https://unity.com/products/deltadna

    hi Jeff,

    The reason that I think the AnalyticsEvent API is deprecated is that I found the AnalyticsEvent class page was removed from the API Script Reference after v2018.2. I think can use this API with 2018.4 however I'm wondering if it's going to be removed in near future or not. I suppose it's just a missing document issue as you mentioned for now.
