To Update my App to use InApp-Purchase in Xamarin Form, I'm using InAppBilling Plugin https://jamesmontemagno.github.io/InAppBillingPlugin/. I setted up correctly the sandbox account on my phone and I can tell you that is correct as using a dummy app everything just works fine.
The problem I have is when I'm trying to get a product or purchase a product that I created on App Store Connect:
1- When I'm trying to get product information
var result = await billing.GetProductInfoAsync(ItemType.Subscription, new string[] { Product });
the result is always empty
2- When I'm trying to purchase a product I got this exception: Plugin.InAppBilling.Abstractions.InAppBillingPurchaseException: Cannot connect to iTunes Store
Any idea on why this is happening?

Edited Question :
I have an issue with Firebase Dynamic Links Packag , My goal is getting know if new user installed and opend my app for first time to give him a rewards like 10 point . I tried to search everywhere but no answer,in firebase website there is option to know if user install for first time.
My Goal is : Getting value for first time install & how to debug this code ?
initDynamicLinks when app Lanched :
void initDynamicLinks() async {
FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.onLink(
onSuccess: (PendingDynamicLinkData dynamicLink) async {
final Uri deepLink = dynamicLink?.link;
if (deepLink != null) {
Navigator.pushNamed(context, deepLink.path);
}
},
onError: (OnLinkErrorException e) async {
print('onLinkError');
print(e.message);
}
);
final PendingDynamicLinkData data = await FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getInitialLink();
final Uri deepLink = data?.link;
if (deepLink != null) {
Navigator.pushNamed(context, deepLink.path);
}
}
.
You're mixing two things here.
The First-opens tab gives you the number of unique users who clicked on your Firebase Dynamic Link for the first time.
If you want to know how many unique users used your app, by clicking the Firebase Dynamic Link or not to get to your app, you have to implement the Firebase Analytics plugin to your app.
This way you'll get access to Dashboards showing you how many Unique users you have.
EDIT
Reading your comment, looks like your question is not related to your problem.
What you want here is to attribute rewards for users who invited their friends thanks to a referral link.
Since I never implemented this witout a dedicated backend, the only thing I can share is a use-case I used some time ago explaining the logic to follow to implement it.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/dynamic-links/use-cases/rewarded-referral
EDIT 2
The logic explained in the documentation is the following :
1- Generate a Dynamic Link for UserA.
2- UserA sends the Dynamic Link to someone (called UserB).
3- When UserB starts the app from a Dynamic Link, retrieve the referral informations in the app (to retrieve UserA's informations)
4- Call a route on your backend to attribute the reward to UserA (and check if UserB is really a new user in your database).
The point is, you shouldn't manage a referral/referrer relationship on the client's side (it would be way too easily abused/hacked).
It's the job of a backend (or cloud function) to manage this.
Once you have received the link clickthrough in your app use the google_analytics package to log an event.

To be honest i have never used Firebase Dynamic Links , But if your Goal is to Achieve a first open or login token , you can always use the Sharedpreferences package , in my case iam using it to navigate to different pages passed on the first login value .
i think that Sharedpreferences is more reliable and easier than what you are trying to achieve with firebase
UPDATE:
what you actually want to do is make a firebase collection with IMEI numbers , when there is a new IMEI that means a new user , when that IMEI is in your collection that means that the app is not installed for the first time ,
you can use this package imei_plugin to get IMEI number and store it on firebase
I'm running in trouble here with Firebase.
The code is in flutter, I am testing in iOS
It's all going well, but when I try to get the dynamic link sent from:
auth.sendSignInWithEmailLink(parameters);
I get a debug message:
[Firebase/Analytics][I-ACS023001] Deep Link does not contain valid required params. URL params: {
amv = 16;
apn = "com.myproject.app";
ibi = "com.myproject.app";
ifl = "https://myproject-com.firebaseapp.com/__/auth/action?apiKey=XXXXXXXXXXX&mode=signIn&oobCode=XXXXXX&continueUrl=https://myproject-com.firebaseapp.com/email123&lang=en";
link = "https://myproject-com.firebaseapp.com/__/auth/action?apiKey=XXXXXXX&mode=signIn&oobCode=XXXXXX&continueUrl=https://myproject-com.firebaseapp.com/email123&lang=en";
}
where I changed my project name to "myproject" and put XXX inplace of apiKey/oobcode
and then, when I try to get the dynamic link with my app
final PendingDynamicLinkData data = await FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getInitialLink();
data is null.
So I am guessing Firebase Analytics is processing it and "killing" the dynamic link before my app can parse it.
Anyone managed to go through this?
I found the problem.
It is not that Firebase Analytics was "consuming" and killing the deep link.
The thing is that in iOS still today there is a delay the link and the state cycle...

This link explains it, problem 2 in the blog post.
Solved. I can still use analytics in Firebase.
It is impossible to remove analytics btw, you can only disable it.
Trying to extract a userID from GoogleAnalytics. This is to view which user is the using the website most and least.
I would to retrieve the top 5 user IDs and bottom 5 user IDs that were passed using either:
gtag('config', 'GA_TRACKING_ID', {
'user_id': 'USER_ID'
});
OR
using a custom dimension... ( https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2709828?hl=en )
I'm (vaguely) aware of policies and TOS to keep 'non identifying' information on Google BUT there are posts online indicating you can link back to CMS data.
Steps so far
Google Analytics with UserID and view setup - Working in Google dashboard and showing filtered userID and All website data using the idea.
Requirements:
Extract page view and session data for each userId between a date
range (or all by default)
UserID via standard GA method
UserID via Custom dimension method
Any help, pointers or examples how someone has completed something like this are appreciated.
NOTE: This is to PULL data out of GA and manipulate/display it on an external system/dashboard.
Seen this which states it's not possible: Google analytics userID tracking
and this which states it (kind of) is google analytics API implementation for tracking a specific user activities in php
The solution I used:
Tracking
Create Google Analytics account
Create a new view by activating the UserID tracking (labeled NewView1)
Use https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gtagjs/custom-dims-mets
i.e. Define your custom dimension
Get Analytics tracking code + Add custom definition code
Create a Custom report using the 'metrics' you want to see and filtering by the 'custom dimension' I created earlier.
(note: data took ~ 12 hours to be visible so don't expect to work instantly)
Front end tracking additions
gtag('config', 'GA_TRACKING_ID', {
'custom_map': {'dimension<Index>': 'dimension_name'}
});
// Sends the custom dimension to Google Analytics.
gtag('event', 'any_event_name', {'dimension_name': dimension_value});
Extraction
Create New Google Developer Console Project (API)
Use a Service Account to connect the API with Analytics ( https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v4/quickstart/service-php ) -- API -> credentials -> Create Credentials (Service Account key)
(assign role [mine was set to Project => View])
Save the Text file to your filesystem and rename to json as per examples
Add permissions to your Analytics project by copy/pasting the 'Email' from the Service account details into Analytics User Management.
Get the view ID of the data you wish to extract (Analtyics created in step 2 in tracking)
Use the sample Code (HelloAnalytics.php) to connect and extract data
Use your custom dimension to filter results
The dimension filter I used was $dimensions (see below)
...
$dimensions = new \Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_Dimension();
$dimensions->setName('ga:dimension1'); // as per docs
// Create the ReportRequest object.
$request = new \Google_Service_AnalyticsReporting_ReportRequest();
$request->setViewId($VIEW_ID);
$request->setDateRanges($dateRange);
$request->setMetrics(array($sessions, $pageviews));
$request->setDimensions($dimensions);
From there I was able to see the same data via API that I could see in the custom report on analytics web.
NOTE: be careful of which Google project and view you're in while setting up
permissions and dimensions.
NOTE: using gtag() code and not Universal (ga()) js code
The answer is a very brief/rough summary of how I achieved my specific goal. It is not a one-size-fits all solution but hopefully it will give someone a better idea of how to set and extract custom variable data within Google.
The final result was data from the API. From there it's up to you.
I am trying to add a referral system to my project, so currently I am basing it off of this package. The issue I am running into is my project only uses accounts-google and not accounts-password. The way this package works is it adds the iron router query parameters for the referrerCode (/register?r=ReferralCodeHere)through a preSignUpHook. I believe this only works with accounts-password wont work when creating an account with an API such as accounts-google.
My idea around this is to use a Meteor.users.before.insert hook to grab the iron router query parameters and insert them into my referrerCode field in Meteor.users since I'm already using Meteor Collection Hooks for a couple of other things.
The issue is I havent been able to find a way to get the query parameters on the server, I was hoping to do something like this:
Meteor.users.before.insert(function(userId, doc) {
doc.referrerCode = Referrer._referrerCode; // Link 1
});
(Link 1)
But this will just come up as undefined.
If I'm at my register page and it has a query like this for example: example.com/register?r=12345 Then I run Router.current().params.query.r on the client it returns 12345. Basically I just need to have that saved to the referralCode field in Meteor.users when a new user creates an account, if a referral code exists in the register URL.
I'm a bit lost with this one. I thought about setting it as a Session variable and then getting that in the before.insert hook, but that again only works on the client side. I'm thinking a meteor method might be best for this, but I'm not exactly sure how I would structure it. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Put the referral token into profile
Use that in your hook
Below I've copied some code that I've used before. It is built around an Invitations collection that tracks who invited who:
client:
var profile = {};
... any other profile settings you've captured
if ( token ) profile.referralToken = token;
Accounts.createUser({ email: email, password: password, profile: profile }, function(err){ ...})
hook:
if ( options.profile.referralToken ){ // referral case
var invitation = Invitations.findOne({ token: options.profile.referralToken });
if ( invitation )
user.invitationId = invitation._id; // the invitation used
user.invitedBy = invitation.userId; // the referring user
}
delete options.profile.referralToken;
}
return user;
I'm looking to have the information submitted on a google form to be on the email notification that I receive. I have tried several things but I can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas?
Create a new form in Google Docs, if you haven’t done that yet, add the necessary fields to the form and save your changes. Now go back to Google Docs and open the spreadsheet corresponding to that particular form.
Choose Tools > Notification rules... and select the option that says Notify me when... A user submits a form. You can also set how frequently you would like to be notified – right away or with daily digest.
Reference: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/91588
To get the notification in your email, you can refer to the this Google add-on.
Also to enable the data or responses to appear in notification you have to enter a script in the form. which basically tries to extract the columns from the spreadsheet. Sample:
var p = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var column = p.getRange(1,1,1,s.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0];
I hope you build the script by yourself!
