When trying to add a new report in Google Sheets for one of my websites in order to collect data for a dashboard, I've noticed that only UA properties are visible in the list - not GA4 properties. How can this be? Is Google Sheets not compatible with GA4, and if that's the case, will it be in the future?
It's not possible to downgrade from GA4 to UA either, so I don't know what to do here.
I am going to assume that you are using this Google Analytics Spreadsheet Add-on
It was designed to work with Universal analyitcs. I am not sure if it working with the reporting api or if its even older and using the core reporting api.
Either way it is not going to work with Ga4 accounts. The apis for Ga4 are still in beta and not everything has been updated yet.
You can not downgrade a GA4 account to UA and you cant create a new UA account.
I will check with the team if they plan on updating this addon.

Recently we have been moving our iOS Project's analytics from Google Analytics to Firebase. Everything is migrating good, until Enhanced Ecommerce. I came against these APIs in GTM and found out how to implement Enhanced Ecommerce using Firebase.
Google Tag Manager - Enhanced Ecommerce
Then I have been looking for the dashboard where I could see the conversions, but I couldn't find any on Firebase. After searching a bit I assume that it's just through Firebase and the dashboard will be same as the previous Google Analytic Console.
Questions:
Does the GTM enhanced ecommerce uses the Google Analytics Console's Ecommerce section to show the conversions.
Will we be using 2 different dashboards, Firebase's and Google Analytics because we will be needing Google Analytics Console for Ecommerce only.
1) Firebase acts as a data layer for GTM to push data on the GA dashboard. So all firebase data passed via GTM providing a GA tag and Enabling Enhanced Ecommerce Features, will let you add enhanced ecommerce events. Take a look at this doc.
2) Yes, for the purpose of reporting enhanced ecommerce through Firebase, you need to see the reports in GA. You can go ahead and file a feature request to Firebase Support with detailed use case.
I'm trying to add Google Analytics to my app using Google Tag Manager, and I can't seem to get this to work. The way I thought it worked is that I add GTM to the app, and then in my account on GTM website I add Google Analytics tags and set the tag up with my Tracking ID from my Google Analytics account (and the app I created there). I then use GTM in my app to trigger tags and track data.
And this all works fine and dandy, I send data to GTM, and I get HTTP status codes as 200 so it "works". But in Google Analytics I can't see a damn thing. Do I have to add Google Analytics to my app project as well? And do I have to use the Singletons for tracking with Google Analytics in that case? It feels like that is missing the point of what GTM is supposed to do if I have to add Google Analytics to the project as well...
I have to integrate Google Now to iOS apps. Please help me with an idea.I have to find out how to integrate Google Now to my iOS app and Alerts will be shown in Google Now.
Currently, the only way to integrate with Google Now is with Google email schemas. You can find the supported Google Now schemas here:
https://developers.google.com/schemas/now/cards?hl=en
Bus reservation and train reservation will also integrate with Google Now:
https://developers.google.com/schemas/reference/bus-reservation
https://developers.google.com/schemas/reference/train-reservation
It's ideal that your app is transactional. Please note that your email will have to be whitelisted in order to send Google schemas. You can find info on registering here:
https://developers.google.com/gmail/markup/registering-with-google
If you would like to do some testing on triggering Google Now cards, you can use the following Apps Script tutorial (using your personal Gmail account):
https://developers.google.com/schemas/tutorials/apps-script-tutorial
If you post more information on what your iOS app does, I can help you determine which markup will help you achieve what you're trying to do.
We already have a web app that integrate with differente Google services. Right now, you can loguin using a Google account, can import a contact lists from any Google account, and can sync a Google Calendar with our Calendar in the webapp (We implemented all of this using OAuth 2 and invoking the GoogleApi with a REST Client).
We are now trying to publish this app in the GoogleApp Marketplace, but we are failing to comply with the "Use one-click single sign-on" rule (https://developers.google.com/apps-marketplace/practices#5_use_one-click_single_sign-on).
We are believing that the problem is we the way we are solving the fact that we need offline access for all the integrated users in the app. Right now, the only way we found to get the refresh tokens for them, was starting the OAuth2 process with the parameters access_type=offline&approval_prompt=force, but this forces them to enter their credentials.
We aren't using the 'Google+ Domains API', and we are starting to believe that we should. Is the use of this API mandatory for complying with the "Use one-click single sign-on" rule?
Thanks,
Well, we finally figured it out. We had to use the Google Admin SDK in order to implement SSO. We had some troubles with the scopes, but after we polished that, everything seems to be working OK.
Upon exploring new ideas for apps, I stumbled on one that seemed pretty easy to do once nailed down to the right SDK, etc. I want to use Google OAuth authentication system to report Google Analytics data into my app, from the users account.
A couple days of researched turned up pretty much nothing but on how to add Google ANalytics to YOUR app to track YOUR views, etc.
Where should I begin? Does Google have Sample Code for this?
Google has a complete API for accessing the Google Analytics data. See https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/
There are several iOS apps out there that already use this data to provide graphical and numerical data on your GA account.
