Event Tracking - iOS SDK

This developer guide describes how to measure events in your app using the Google Analytics SDK for iOS v2.

Overview

Events are a useful way to collect data about a user's interaction with interactive components of your app, like button presses or the use of a particular item in a game.

An event consists of four fields that you can use to describe a user's interaction with your app content:

  • NSString Category
  • NSString Action
  • NSString Label
  • NSNumber (Optional) Value, interpreted as 64-bit integer

Implementation

To send an event, call sendEventWithCategory:withAction:withLabel:withValue:. For example, you could measure a button press with the following code:

[tracker sendEventWithCategory:@"uiAction"
                    withAction:@"buttonPress"
                     withLabel:buttonName
                     withValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:100]];
