    I made an app (for Android and iOS) with Unity and I'd like to use Firebase Analytics on it.

    What should I do in order to log events?

    What I already did:
    1. Downloaded Firebase SDK and imported FirebaseAnalytics.unitypackage into my project
    2. Created a new project in https://console.firebase.google.com/u/1/
    3. Downloaded google-services.json and imported into my project
    What I don't know:
    1. Do I need to make any other configuration or create a new project for iOS?
    2. What kind of C# code do I write in order to start Firebase and log events?
    3. I already used Firebase once in xcode and I remember the App ID was necessary, is it?

    Did you manage to make Firebase Analytics log any events? I tried the sample projects for Authentication and realtime database end they all work fine. Firebase analytics doesn't work at all for me. My dashboard doesn't show any activity after 48hours. Any clues?

    Hello,

    I think that events only get logged from actual devices, but I could be wrong. I'll post my findings, if anyone can confirm this suspicion?

    Analytics started working 1-2 days after implementing them together with crashlytics.
    Which has to be initialized on the game start with the script from their tutorial. All works correct now!

    Has anybody got Analytics to work? I test run it on a device and no analytic data. Not sure if I have wait days for it to work. Or do I need to upload this on the APP Store for this to work?

    Got Analytic to log events to Firebase.
    There's no documentation except in the sample on Github.
    You need to add code on your on startup.
    Code (CSharp):
    1.   FirebaseAnalytics.SetAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(true);

    Of course I did. That's why I posted the code....
    This is what Firebase recommends
    Code (CSharp):
    1. FirebaseApp.CheckAndFixDependenciesAsync().ContinueWithOnMainThread(task => {
    2.             FirebaseAnalytics.SetAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(true);
    3. });
    4.

    What did you do to get the events?
    • I configured firebase on their dashboard
    • I installed the SDK
    • added the config files
    • Installed the firebase analytics samples
    • debug.log the config of the firebase-object to ensure that it has the correct data
    The sample sends some events, and there is no error, but there are no events in the dashboard, even after 24h.

    And I checked the Firebase-Authentication sample as well and could create a new firebase account with that, so the SDK seems to work.
