What it actually means is that, you need to include the Cordova Plugin Reference of the Game Analytics Plugin for it to work on Android and IOS. Or basically, Mobile.

The Cordova Plugin Reference for the Game Analytics is cordova-plugin-gameanalytics.

Because you have asked this, I believe you still haven't tried exporting to Cordova for Android / IOS with Cordova plugins extensions.

But I can't teach and tell you everything in just this reply alone.

So, I recommend you to search for some tutorials on how to build Cordova Apps on Construct 2 or Construct 3 with Cordova Plugins like Admob and IAP using Cocoon.IO.

That should do it. Good luck!

I think I understand but I always had Construct 3 Build Service as the end game in mind. Phonegap and Cocoon.io were never in my plan. I guess you can't use Construct 3 Build Service for GameAnalytics then.

At first, I thought you might be able to export them out as Cordova Project on C3 and bring the file back to C3 (Construct 3 Build Service) to build as a Xcode/Sign release APK file (since you brought GameAnalytics up).

But Construct 3 Build Service doesn't have the option for me to add that reference in (That's controlled from Scirra side if I am not wrong).

So much thanks for the detailed explanation from start to end though! Really appreciate it.

It is up to you to pick on which is more beneficial to you.

Thanks! I get it. That's why I'm weighing the differences now.

My question is not the same as the first post anymore.

For your option, I've to export into a Cordova Project from C2. Is there any significant differences compared to exporting Cordova project from C3?

It's a trade off if there's a difference. That was what I was trying to ask when I reference you in. I wanted to see if there's any trade off*

There's a 4th option actually. That is to use Enhance but you will have to submit your IPA/APK file into their private server.

Although, you can also just use the Game Analytics plugin. Which is available for both C3 and C2.

For GameAnalytics, you still can't export straight as a Xcode/sign Release APK file. You will still have to export out as a Cordova Project in C3 and apply the following instruction. Correct me if I am wrong.

What does this means though? I can't seems to figure it out. I did read their documentation.

When exporting for Cordova remember to call cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-gameanalytics and cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device in the exported Cordova project.

From the How do I FAQ for Construct 3 :

If I understand correctly, what you're implying seems to be different from chadorireborn reply, or were you trying to add in more information(s)?

If I am not wrong, what you are trying to say is addons from C2 still needs to be converted to C3 no matter what before you can build your project into a Xcode/Signed release APK file using C3 build service (in order for the addons to work),

while chadorireborn is "saying" that you are able to Export your C2 in C2 as an Cordova Project with the C2 addons and bring it to C3 (under Export Manager) to build into a Xcode/Signed release APK file and the C2 addons will still work.

Now I'm confused but I appreciate the replies guys.

Anyway, I appreciate the link. I did read that and dig around a lot but there's absolutely no answer to my question.

You can have third-part Construct 2 add-ons in Construct 3 by asking their authors to port them using the SDK.

Most authors which came up with C2 Analytics addons has long moved on.

Otherwise, check the Exchange Addon

There's only one Analytics on Exchange Addon but you're not allowed to directly export them as a Xcode/Sign release APK file.

Is it possible then to export them out as Cordova Project on C3 and bring the file back to C3 (under Export Manager) to build as a Xcode/Sign release APK file?

If it's possible, what does this mean though?

When exporting for Cordova remember to call cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-gameanalytics and cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device in the exported Cordova project.

or this dedicated forum to see if a port already exists.

None at all.

Finally you can try this beta converter.

I'm not an advanced user and the people from that thread highly recommend only people who knows what they are doing to use that converter.

Once you have a Construct 3 version of the add-on, you can install it using the add-ons manager.

Yup, knew about this. Thanks!

Also be aware that analytics will only render one "item".

Your application will likely be considered as a single visited web page.

Pardon me, but I'm not sure what this statement mean. I just need to track basic rate of retention.
