How to integrate Flurry analytics into iOS app

I have Flurry.h and libFlurry.a added to my project from the Flurry 4.1 SDK. In my app delegate I have the following in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.

[Flurry startSession:@"[apikey]"];

I've also added [Flurry logEvent:@"callAPIPath"]; in the codebase such that it will get called 5 or 6 times in a typical session. However, I don't see any data on my Flurry dashboard. I'm testing in the iOS simulator and click the home button to quit the app since that was suggested in https://stackoverflow.com/a/12054855/99683. I've given it over 24 hours to process but still no data.

I don't see any obvious problems in the debug output.

I'm using the API Key provided by Flurry which is a 20 character string. Is there a different application key I should be using instead? I'm doing something wrong here but haven't been able to figure it out yet.

Turns out I was using the wrong key. I needed the application-specific key which can be found with the Manage menu item on the application's dashboard.
