Roadmap

What features are in the next release?
Please refer to our Roadmap.

When will the next release happen?
For new features and enhancements, we expect to update SDKs every 4 to 6 weeks.
Bug fixes will be fixed ASAP and their severity will determine if a new nuget package is created.

FAQs about the SDK

Why is there a WinRT Nuget package and a C# one?
We want to support Windows Store apps for all platforms so felt we needed a C++ WinRT Component, but we also want contributions and want to support Windows desktop apps, and we felt that C# would be more approachable to these. We will ensure both SDKs are at parity -where appropriate- so it is fine to submit a feature enhancement to one SDK and will port to the other.

I am moving from the older SDK in codeplex, what changes do I need to make?
Configuration file (analytics.xml) support has been removed. AnalyticsManager still supports all the settings you could configure, but now you must do these explicitly from code.
The methods to create measurements (e.g. SendView, SendSocial, etc.) have been moved from Tracker class to a HitBuilder class. This mimics the Android SDK and allows us flexibility going forward.

Why are most of your docs written in C#? C# is easy to read for C++, Javascript and C# developers. It is a good common ground. We have samples for each programming language, and our docs usually have similar code, so if you prefer to browse code in your language of preference, read the docs to understand the concept, and then refer to the samples for working code/syntax.

Google Analytics related questions

What are the terms of use for the SDK? You must follow Google Analytics Terms of Use when using this SDK to connect to the Google Analytics service.

How does Google Analytics decide when to start/end a session? By default, Google Analytics will group hits that are received within 30 minutes of one another into the same session. This period is configurable at the property level. You can also configure the session timeout period.

What are the limits and quotas for the SDK? Please see Google's policy on quotas.
