Not seeing analytics on Google Analytics

I am debugging an issue on an iOS Cordova app. This plugin (verison 1.8.2) is being used. There is no traffic reported on the Google Analytics dashboard.

This is the code:

window.analytics.startTrackerWithId('UA-XXXX');
window.analytics.trackView('Main');

So apparently, this is the old coding syntax? I tried to change to the new way:

window.ga.startTrackerWithId('UA-XXXX',30);
window.ga.trackView('Debugging Screen Title');

I need to see this working before submitting this fix. I keep looking at the Real Time dashboard on the Google Analytics dashboard. However, I am not seeing my testing screen title “Debugging Screen Title”.

So it appears that the plugin is still not sending in analytics to Google? How should I debug this?

I cannot figure this out. I am using Ionic, I am using the latest everything,

   @ionic/cli-plugin-cordova       : 1.6.2
   @ionic/cli-plugin-ionic-angular : 1.4.1
   @ionic/cli-utils                : 1.7.0
   ionic (Ionic CLI)               : 3.7.0

and I am using the latest version of the plugin

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-google-analytics" spec="^1.8.3" />

I am following directions exactly as it says on

https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/google-analytics/

and I still cannot get this to work properly. I suspect it has something to do with mobile vs web but I am not sure what to change.

If I run the app, look at real time data on the google analytics site, I can see myself as an active user, I can track events, but no data ever remains after it falls off of the real time tracking dashboard. I also cannot use trackView() at all. I am running my app on iOS using the ionic CLI.

Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem, I can track events but not pages/views. I have enabled debugmode and the output looks successful to me. Even the promise from the trackView method returns successfully, but no view appears in Google Analytics. I even tried downgrading to v1.7.11 but the issue remains.

Is this a problem with the plugin, the Ionic wrapper or with Google Analytics?
