Google Analytics for Single Page Application with # views

I'm trying to implement Google Analytics on Single Page Application. I'm trying to use Autotrack to track the virtual page views. But, it's not working.

Code:

<script>
        window.ga=window.ga||function(){(ga.q=ga.q||[]).push(arguments)};ga.l=+new Date;
        ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-1', 'auto');
        ga('require', 'urlChangeTracker', {
        shouldTrackUrlChange: function(newPath, oldPath) {
            newPath = newPath.split('?')[0];
            oldPath = oldPath.split('?')[0];
            return newPath != oldPath;
          }
        });
        ga('send', 'pageview');
        </script>
        <script async src='https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js'></script>
        <script async src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/autotrack/0.6.4/autotrack.js"></script>

Quoting from related github issue:

"The urlChangeTracker plugin does not support tracking URL hash changes. This is mentioned in the overview section of the plugin documentation.

Since almost all browsers in use today support the History API, that's what you should be using when creating SPAs. Hash changes should only be used for in-page navigation to anchor links."
