Google Analytics for Android wrong version

Question

I have a problem with Google Analytics for Android. I followed the docs here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v4/

The tracking doesn't work, I can't see anything in Analytics for a week, even though the logs looks good:

I suspect that it's because the log says GAV3 (that is, version 3?) and I followed the docs for v4. Yet, I have no idea how to install v4, it's supposed to be installed.

My Google Play Services Lib version is: 4.3.23 (1069729-030), revision 16 in SDK manager.

Is it possible that this version doesn't contain v4? V4 was released less than a month ago, on the other hand from Google Play Services 4.3.23 is the latest version in the SDK manager I can see.

Is there anyone who works with v4? If so, can you check the versions for me?

Answer 1

The GAV3 tag is a bug in the SDK and will be fixed in the next version. You can ignore that.

I am not sure but it looks like there might be an issue in copy-pasting the tracking id. There seems to an extra > before the tracking id. Can you make sure that the tracking id is of the format UA-XXXXX-y?

If this doesn't fix the issue, I'll try to dig for more pointers. Also, Can you make sure that the logging is on and on verbose so that I can look at more logs?

Thanks!
