Google Analytics Mobile (ipod/iphone) Custom Variables tracking

It's a bit of time I'm using analytics in my iPhone applications and I find it very useful...but apparently it seems to give me only the ability to track pageviews and events.

I just would like to know if there's a way to track even custom variables defined by me, as web analytics does.

I.e. I'm releasing the new version of my app and I would like to define a variable that reports me the version of the application (instead of defining a new action or pageview to track it).

the standard js api to handle that should be: _setCustomVar(index, name, value, opt_scope). Is there a way to figure it out even on the mobile version of analytics?

Notice that the setCustomVar() function should come before the trackPageview(). The information is only sent to Google Analytics during a pageview or an event, so keep that in mind when placing the code on your site.

Localytics provides exactly this functionality. For any event in your application, such as a button click or a level completion you may record the event as happening and associate with a Dictionary of keys and values which are reported back as event attributes. For an example and some more details, check out the blog post:
