Does Mobile Analytics still work?

I can see that tutorials and docs all suggest using Amplify for registering with Pinpoint, but I seem to have massive difficulty in getting it configured and working.

I've downloaded the mobile analytics sdk and am using the following code:

AWS.config.credentials = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({
IdentityPoolId: 'eu-west-1:xxx',
Logins: {
'cognito-idp.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/eu-west-1_xxx': result.getIdToken().getJwtToken()
}
});

app.mobileAnalyticsClient = new AMA.Manager({
appId : "xxx" // Pinpoint AppId
});
console.log("creating mobile analystics client");
var p = app.mobileAnalyticsClient.startSession();
console.log("started mobile analystics session");
var q = app.mobileAnalyticsClient.createEvent('LoginEvent');
console.log("recording login event");
var r = app.mobileAnalyticsClient.submitEvents();
console.log("submitting mobile analystics events");
console.log("responses: " + JSON.stringify(p));
console.log("responses: " + JSON.stringify(q));
console.log("responses: " + JSON.stringify(r));

i dont get any errors in the log, but im not getting anything in my pinpoint console.
