    Hi, I've just set up unity analytics for my app for the first time, and I can't seem to find the "Analytics Event Tracker" component to add to my objects when I click on "Add Component".
    I see the component in the documentation and its not marked as obsolete or anything, is there another way of detecting events that I'm supposed to use instead?

    Thanks, yeah I meant send custom events, I know you can use the "UnityEngine.Analytics" through code to send events, I just thought there was an easier way to send events for stuff like button presses or switches without having to write a script for it.

    Download the analytics Library from Package Manager first.

    I'm having the exact same problem as the OP. I've downloaded the analytics Library, but I still don't see the analytics tracker component.

    Hi There. I am having the same issue as the OP also. I'm using 2019.2.12f1. I've downloaded the Analytics Library but I can't find the Tracker Component anywhere as per this page from the documentation: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-AnalyticsEventTracker.html

    I've also tried in a clean project and no joy.

    I'm not a coder so I need this editor component to be able to set up any custom events that I wish to track. Please can you let me know if that's still possible? Many thanks

    I am able to reproduce, and have let engineering know. I will keep this thread updated.

    I got the same problem that "Analytics Event Tracker" doesn't show up in the components list, although I've added the component to my GameObjects in the past.

    I've only noticed this after I had updated the Analytics package to 3.2.3. The workaround I found for it is to downgrade the package to 3.2.2, and then close and re-open Unity. The "Analytics Event Tracker" should show up in the components list again :)

    My version is 2019.2.1f1 and when using-

    AnalyticsEvent.LevelStart(Level_id);

    it says- The name 'AnalyticsEvent' does not exist in the current context.

    I did everything as stated in documentation, searched forums.
    I tried restarting analytics, added the namespace UnityEngine.Analytics but nothing is working. Am I missing something here or it is a bug?

    No news yet. In the meantime, you can call Analytics.CustomEvent but does require some scripting.

    I downgraded to 3.2.2 as well and it's a good temporary fix.

    Yes I have custom events working here on Android devices. We would need a bit more information.

    What version is not working for you? All versions of Unity that I have tested works for me. But we are getting off topic, this thread is referring to the Analytics Tracker component, there are known issues with it as mentioned. But back to your point, how are telling that events are not being sent, it's best to test with Charles Proxy https://support.unity3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002917683-Using-Charles-Proxy-with-Unity

    Unity 2019.3.0f3 (64-bit) I will try proxies, it was faster for me to use facebook analytics. But this is still strange, because I will not ask players check with Charles Proxy?

    No, not users, I meant your testing. What problem are you having? You can confirm on your OWN test device if Analytics is working. If not, then you shouldn't publish.

    I just updated the analytics library to 3.3.5. The description in package manager still mentions the analytics event tracker component, however, it still doesn't show up. I was wondering if this component has been depreciated?

    Thanks!

    Sorry, it hasn't been deprecated. Hopefully will return in a soon upcoming release! It was removed by mistake.

    Are there any updates? I had Analytics Event Tracker on Unity 2019.3 but it does not appear on 2019.2.19.
    UPD:
    I fixed the issue after reinstalling Analytics library and restarting Unity. For whatever reason Event tracker stopped to appear as component.

    Actually, has Unity considered firing the person(s) who made this mistake?

    I'm using 2019.3.6f.1 and from package manager installed Analytics Library 3.3.5. It works fine for me. Before installing the package I didn't have the component as well (not suprisingly :) ), but after installing it no more issues.

    I doubt it. The workaround is to use custom event scripting

    Hi,

    Any updated on this? Currently no component available to attach to gameobjects still? Even downloaded the 2019 LTS version and its not in there?

    Which version of unity has the analytics component tracker available to apply to gameobjects?

    @JeffDUnity3D

    thanks

    You would be better advised to use scripted Custom Events attached to the game objects.
