Overview
The Google Analytics Utility allows designers to track user interactions with their application SAIL interfaces. It provides a means of tracking both page views and interaction events by leveraging the Google Analytics Measurement Protocol.
To use this utility, you will need a Google Analytics account and a property created in Google Analytics for each app to be tracked. If you do not have a Google Analytics account and property for tracking user behavior, you can learn how to set one up here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1008015.
Key Features & Functionality
getting the above error while import package to the application
Please unzip the file that you download from Community. Inside it contains a README pdf file as well as another zip that contains the application to be imported. Please review the README and then import the Google Analytics Utility 18.2.zip.
That's good that you can reproduce outside of the Google Analytics Utility. Please open a Support case and ask them to investigate why you cannot connect using this sample utility. Let me know what Support says. I haven't heard of this before but if this is a new change to Appian Cloud then we may need to change this utility to account for that.
the sample utility which i have downloaded here, shows the below error here.

what i have missed? help me to resolve this.
Please check that you created your site as a "Universal Analytics (UA)" property instead of the newer "Google Analytics 4 (GA4)" type. We're still working on adding support for GA4 (see discussion below).
I have configured the utility as mentioned in the README. Replaced the trackingid constant value with mine.
