Analytics (iOS)

By default, a player's identity within the SDK is neither tracked nor recognized by JWP's analytics. However, adding a player ID to the JWPlayerConfiguration object enables you to use JWP Analytics (plays, time watched) to evaluate the performance of your players:

• Run A/B tests
• Filter Custom Report results
• Create SDK-specific analytics queries through the Management API

Track analytics

To track analytics, you must add the player ID to the JWPlayerConfiguration object.

🚧

The player ID added to the JWPlayerConfiguration object must exist within the property linked to the license key supplied during the SDK setup. Using any other ID will cause associated data to be discarded.

Use the following recipe to add the player ID.

Generate a report

After a player ID has been associated with a player, you can generate reports through one of the following methods listed in below.

Custom Reports

  ],
  "filter": [
    {
      "operator": "=",
      "value": [
        "iOS"
      ],
      "field": "platform_id"
