Android Using Firebase Analytics along with Google Analytics

Question

I\'d love to know how I can use Firebase Analytics (FA) and Google Analytics (GA) simultaneously as FA doesn\'t provide real-time data and my apps already integrated with GA

Answer 1

Here is a sample of common XML/Plist taken from Firebase:

What I have done to obtain this file:

1- Implemented Google Analytics for Android and created a project in Google API Console, then

2- Implemented Google Analytics for iOS linked to the same Google API project, then

3- Created Firebase Project based on the same Google API project.

XML Config file for Android:

{
  "project_info": {
    "project_number": "MYAPP_PROJECT_NUMBER",
    "firebase_url": "MYAPP_FIREBASE_URL",
    "project_id": "MYAPP_PROJECT_ID",
    "storage_bucket": "MYAPP_STORAGE_BUCKET"
  },
  "client": [
    {
      "client_info": {
        "mobilesdk_app_id": "MYAPP_MOBILESDK_APP_ID",
        "android_client_info": {
          "package_name": "MYAPP_PACKAGE_NAME"
        }
      },
      "oauth_client": [
        {
          "client_id": "MYAPP_CLIENT_ID_STARTING_WITH_PROJECT_NUMBER_1",
          "client_type": 1,
          "android_info": {
            "package_name": "MYAPP_PACKAGE_NAME",
            "certificate_hash": "MYAPP_CERT_HASH"
          }
        },
        {
          "client_id": "MYAPP_CLIENT_ID_STARTING_WITH_PROJECT_NUMBER_2_DIFFERENT_THAN_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID_ABOVE",
          "client_type": 3
        }
      ],
      "api_key": [
        {
          "current_key": "MYAPP_CURRENT_KEY"
        }
      ],
      "services": {
        "analytics_service": {
          "status": 2,
          "analytics_property": {
            "tracking_id": "MYAPP_TRACKING_ID_FROM_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS"
          }
        },
        "appinvite_service": {
          "status": 1,
          "other_platform_oauth_client": []
        },
        "ads_service": {
          "status": 2
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "configuration_version": "1"
}
