Error "GoogleAnalytics plugin not installed", but it's already installed

Ionic Framework ionic-v3

On startup of my app which uses the Google Analytics plugin, I get a failure which says the plugin is not installed:

03-11 18:41:31.568 16699 16699 I chromium: [INFO:CONSOLE(15607)] "DEVICE READY FIRED AFTER", source: file:///data/user/0/com.ionic.viewapp/files/files//7bfffa2d/build/main.js?ionicCachebuster=96341 (15607)

However if I attempt to install it, it says it’s already installed:

âžś  directory-on-tap git:(master) âś— ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-google-analytics
Plugin "cordova-plugin-google-analytics" already installed on android.

Plugin "cordova-plugin-google-analytics" already installed on ios.

I’ve seen a couple other people having a similar problem, but their solutions do not work for me:

  • I am calling this within the this.platform.ready() handler
  • My call to <script src="cordova.js"></script> is the first script loaded in index.html

Any update on this @shawnlauzon?

No, I’m still stuck on this.

5

Any luck on this? I’m having the same problem on iOS. Android is working fine.

Problem is still persistent for me on iOS but it works on Android.

Native: tried calling GoogleAnalytics.trackView, but the GoogleAnalytics plugin is not installed.

The plugin is installed and double checked. Any updates?

Don’t know if it’s really your answer, but, a long time ago I did face some problems too (the tracker was sometimes not started). I end up writing a provider which stack the events in live memory till the next time the plugin will be available

If you want to follow such a path, like if you have really really really no answers, you could have a look there, I documented my code:

don’t know how to link directly my post, search “I created a service like this” from peterpeterparker (me)
