Could anyone help or refer how it can be done..I searched over the net and what i felt is that its only for mobile and websites.
It's for websites. Many of the concepts of web analytics (number of pages viewed for example) don't even make any sense on a desktop app, because they're not organized like a web page.
If you want to use Google analytics data from an analytics account Google provides a data export API.
If you want to track your native application then as Catfish_Man (great name btw!) said, it is not really possible. That isn't totally true, as you could fake it, but the paradigm is so different that you would be better off creating you own solution.
You might want to see this library for GA on desktops

Google Analytics doesn't provide a native Mac app integration, but you can use the Measurement Protocol Overview to send raw data to your GA property from your account.
Just create a mobile app property and then start sending raw GA events using HTTP. There are couple Obj-C wrappers available like https://github.com/swisspol/GARawTracker or https://github.com/stephenlind/SimpleCocoaGoogleAnalytics.

We have a job board for the German market. The template/software we use is from a company called JBoard, whos programming language is PHP and Laravel. We are having difficulties being listed in Google for Jobs, so now we want to use one of Google's features (=instant indexing: https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2018/06/introducing-indexing-api-for-job?hl=en) for the jobs on our website. We have already generated a key but cannot connect it to the website. According to JBoard, they do not have any place in the backend where you can store the key. However, JBoard says that they have clients who have successfully implemented Google’s API outside of their platform. Apparently it is done with google sheets, google search console and an API token (which I am able to generate via our dashboard). We did find a developer, but he couldn't finish the implementation due to personal reasons. Does anyone know how to implement the instant indexing for jobs when your website is not based on wordpress, Squarespace etc., and with no access to the backend code? Thanks in advance.
I am using Facebook ads, Google ads, and an MMP for other networks. I just need to track installs as conversions. I do not serve ads in the app.
My MMP is saying that you cannot have multiple SDKs sending info to SKAdNetwork because it will post back inaccurate information. I have not read this anywhere else.
It says you should only have one SDK posting conversions to SKAdNetwork.
Screenshot of MMP's Blog post saying this
My question is do I need to remove or disable Facebook and Google's registration to SKAdNetwork within my app so they don't post conversions to SKAdNetwork?
OR
Is it ok that all 3 SDKs post to SKAdNetwork?
You technically only need to send one conversion value update and there will be some side effects if you send more than one (though if you handle all your app specific use cases then this might not matter).
Apple will send SKAN CVs to each of the networks you are using for optimization purposes so you shouldn't need to worry about that. I'd personally recommend that you streamline your own app flow to handle SKAN postbacks directly to Apple once.
SKAN 4.0 might make it more difficult if you send multiple CVs from different parties. The new features around multiple postbacks can now get sent to the ad networks based on cohort date and this could affect the optimizations that each of the ad networks use.
I have created a web application which connects with Google APIs. In the past it only connected with the Google Analytics API. Now I am making it link with Google Webmaster Tools (GWT). Some of my existing users may want to opt in to GWT. And moving forward new users may want to link with just one or both APIs.
Is it best practice to create a separate console project for each API?
During experimentation I modified my original Google Analytics project to support GWT. But in doing this I found there is no way a user could revoke access to just one API; they would need to revoke BOTH APIs.
I then created a separate project to manage just GWT. This works fine and all. But from the user's perspective it makes another entry into their "Connected Apps" (see screen shot).
What is the best practice for a situation such as this?
I have made an app using jQuery mobile and phoneGap, and read its good to put Google Analytics on there. I just a little confused because most of the app (pages etc... ) runs from the index.html file on the phone. The only time the app communicates with the server is when it logs a user in and they do ajax requests to retrieve or put data to a database.
Can I still use the analytics package here? Or is the whole point of it to be used with an app where all the DOM etc is stored online?
Thanks
You can probably use the event tracking feature of Google Analytics to help you out here:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/eventTrackerGuide
You basically just fire a js function and pass in descriptive strings and category I think for each of the interactions you want to track / report on:
_trackEvent(category, action, opt_label, opt_value, opt_noninteraction)
Hope that helps
I have one web site in which I want to access data of major social media api's like Twitter,Google+,Facebook,YouTube etc....
Anyone know which are third party web sites(No problem with Paid solutions) which can provide me data?
browse the website programmableweb,you can check who are providing their APIs.
