Error: Invalid app_name is specified

[BohdanchukVL]

using latest analytics npm package

"@telegram-apps/analytics": "^1.4.3"

But after deploying, analytics initialization fails with the error “Invalid app_name is specified.”

import telegramAnalytics from '@telegram-apps/analytics';

if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
  telegramAnalytics.init({
    token: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_TELEGRAM_ANALYTICS_TOKEN,
    appName: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_TELEGRAM_ANALYTICS_IDENTIFIER,
  });
}

I’ve tried recreating the app in @DataChief_bot (both with and without the underscore) and even swapped the SDK token with the API token (which only changes the error to “Invalid token.”).
All data prints correctly in the console, so I’m sure there aren’t any extra whitespace characters or symbols. I just can’t figure out what else I can try.

It looks like the post request sent by the library to https://tganalytics.xyz/events is wrong.

According to the documentation here https://docs.tganalytics.xyz/api/endpoints there should be a request body sent with this request, in reality it's missing.

Are we supposed to send this request manually? The library is unusable at the moment due to this issue

I encountered a similar problem and the issue seems to be that events are stored in local storage to be batch sent. But if there is an error with them, such as invalid app_name, they are not removed. That means when you fix the error, it will still include the invalid events in the batch causing it to fail.

I hacked around it by deleting local storage on app startup, ensuring that there is never any stale data. This does mean that if events didn't get sent before you close the app, they will now never get sent, but oh well.

The real fix would be to remove events from the batch if they fail due to an error on the users side where they shouldn't be retried (such as invalid token, app name, etc).
