Anyone has a working example of running a AB Test experiment with GameAnalytics?
I’m confused as when to call
gameanalytics.isRemoteConfigsReady()
I’m also setting a listener, and fetching the data, but nothing is printed!
gameanalytics.setRemoteConfigsListener(function()
print("GA Listener")
end)
local result = gameanalytics.getRemoteConfigsValueAsString({key="test1"})
Anyone got it working? Thanks for your help
Hey! I use remote configs in my project. I haven’t done any a/b testing, though. We use it for pacing variables and to prompt the player to upgrade if they’re on a really old version.
The confusion is that if gameanalytics.isRemoteConfigsReady() returns true, the listener won’t trigger, unless you minimise the game and come back to it.
If isRemoteConfigsReady() returns false, the listener should fire without first leaving the game.
Whether it returns true or false can vary per device. I think it has something to do with which version of iOS or Android the player has.
Hi,
I can see wht the issue now. Because the GA SDK is initialised immediately when the extension is being initialised then it will not get caught the first time probably because you are first setting the listener after the remote configs have been updated and will first work when you put the app to background and back into focus again. I think I will make an option in the game.project file so you can set manual_initialize = 1 to be able to manually initialize the SDK with gameanalytics.initialize() or something like that. Then you can call the initialize function the same place as you set the listener. I hope that makes sense. I will let you know when I have released a new version.
I have updated the extension now (v.3.3.3) and have added manual initialize option. Info found here on how to use it: https://gameanalytics.com/docs/item/defold-sdk#configs
Hi @gameanalytics, I’ve started using v3.3.4 and keep getting crashes on Android every 5th start or so.
I use manual_initialize = 1 in the config, then:
gameanalytics.setRemoteConfigsListener( remote_configs_listener )
gameanalytics.initialize()
Is this the correct way of using the latest init? I was getting the crashes before on v3.3.1 and was hoping updating would solve the problem.
The intermittent issue appears to happen in the callback. A few good values come through, then it crashes. Most of the time all values are returned and no error happens.
Update: I’ve removed the remote config Lua code for now and have had no crashes.

Ok I will have a look at what goes wrong
I only got the crash once but I haven’t been able to reproduce it since. Have you figured out any pattern to when the crash is happening when using the remote configs listener?
For me it happens every 5th start or so. It seems to happen when the app loses focus (which mine does because of Google Play authentication) around the same time as the initialize() happens.
How does your remote configs listener function look like?
