Google Analytics v2 iOS - session duration always 0.0

I started using Goole Analytics v2.0beta3 for iOS native app. I start a session with the following code: 

[GAI sharedInstance].trackUncaughtExceptions = YES;
[GAI sharedInstance].dispatchInterval = 20;
[GAI sharedInstance].debug = YES;
id<GAITracker> tracker = [[GAI sharedInstance] trackerWithTrackingId:@"UA-XXXX-X"];
[GAI sharedInstance].defaultTracker = tracker; 
[tracker setAnonymize:YES];
BOOL res = [tracker trackEventWithCategory:@"cat" withAction:@"act" withLabel:@"label" withValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:1]];
[[GAI sharedInstance] dispatch];

However, I don't know how to end the session and the session duration I get is always 0.0

Has anyone encountered this issue ?

Thanks

As per Google Analytics v3 the session behaviour changed. If you're experiencing these problems with the latest version, check out my fix here:

I would check and see if your trackers are set properly. My setup code is as follows 

[GAI sharedInstance].debug = YES;
[GAI sharedInstance].dispatchInterval = 20;
[GAI sharedInstance].trackUncaughtExceptions = YES;
self.tracker = [[GAI sharedInstance] trackerWithTrackingId:kTrackingId];
NSLog(@"what is tracker %@ / default tracker %@?", self.tracker, [GAI sharedInstance].defaultTracker);

Where self.tracker is @property (strong, nonatomic) id <GAITracker> tracker;

I am getting correct session tracking information. Maybe try pulling out code until you find what is causing the issue?

Additionally a workaround could be something like this.

- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
    appBecameActive = [NSDate date];
}

- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application
{
    NSDate *appClosing = [NSDate date];
    NSTimeInterval sessionLength = [appClosing timeIntervalSinceDate:appBecameActive];
    [[GAI sharedInstance].defaultTracker trackTimingWithCategory:@"sessionLength"
                                                   withValue:sessionLength
                                                    withName:@"appWentToBackground"
                                                   withLabel:nil];
}
