Google analytics Measurement ID Issue

I am getting an error when setting a Measurement ID for GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_GTAG_PROPERTY_ID as my project uses an App+Web property.

GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_GTAG_PROPERTY_ID setting: must be a string looking like 'UA-XXXXXX-Y': 'G-XXXXXXXXXX'

I think gtag.js inherently supports both features, and the test case for this should be fixed to take both strings.

To quote from the page @CleitonDeLima linked to:

Product prefixes for global site tags

UA	Your global site tag is controlled by Google Analytics. The ID is your Google Analytics Measurement ID. To find the property associated with this ID, use the account search feature in Google Analytics. If the property does not appear, you probably do not have access to it.
G	Your global site tag is controlled by a Google Analytics App + Web stream. The ID is your Google Analytics Measurement ID.
AW	Your global site tag is controlled by Google Ads. The numeric string following the AW prefix is your Google Ads Conversion ID.
DC	Your global site tag is controlled by a Floodlight tag. The numeric string following DC is your Advertiser ID.
other	Your global site tag is controlled by a different Google product or may be implemented incorrectly. Use the Tag Assistant extension for Google Chrome to verify.

That “others” entry sounds especially ominous. 🙂

Let’s first merge #164 and when the next tag type breaks it remove it altogether.
