I added google analytics following the appery tutorial. It ran in all versions below 5.0

But When i run it on a lollipop device, the app crashed with the following error.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Service Intent must be explicit: Intent { act=com.google.android.gms.analytics.service.START (has extras) }

Hello -

Could you please specify which exact tutorial you are following?

https://docs.appery.io/docs/cordova-j...

Thanks for reporting this, we will check this out.

i found this topic in stackoverflow

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26...

they talk about moving to google analytics version 3. we have only GA Version 2 in appery.

So, I just reduced the target SDK version to 4.2 from 5.0. Now its working on lollipop due to backward compatibility, i guess.

But still, pls do clarify from your end if there is any info on google analytics crash.
