Disable Google Analytics introduced by Firebase #2657

Comments

alexara commented May 30, 2018

Since you have introduced Firebase, you might need to explicitly disable Google Analytics (https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/). 🙂

Getting started with Analytics is easy. Just add the Firebase SDK to your new or existing app, and data collection begins automatically

Analytics automatically logs some events and user properties; you don’t need to add any code to enable them.

So how can you disable the Analytics?

If you have a look at https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup#available_libraries it says that the firebase-core library corresponds to the Analytics part of FireBase.
The firebase-core is pulled in as a dependency automatically once you add the Firebase SDK to you project.

Hence you would like to remove it:

The official guide to disable Analytics does not tell you about this solution (or at least it’s pretty good hidden) and suggests another:

Permanently deactivate collection

If you need to deactivate Analytics collection permanently in a version of your app, set firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated to true in your app’s AndroidManifest.xml in the application tag. For example:

Disable Advertising ID collection
y
If you wish to disable collection of the Advertising ID in your Android app, you can set the value of google_analytics_adid_collection_enabled to false in your app’s AndroidManifest.xml in the application tag. For example:

PS: Nextcloud Talk for Android already disabled it:

Configure Analytics Data Collection and Usage

Google Analytics offers features which allow you to control the collection and use of Analytics data.

Disable Analytics data collection

In some cases, you may wish to temporarily or permanently disable collection of Analytics data, such as to collect end-user consent or to fulfill legal obligations. Google Analytics offers multiple options for disabling and deactivating Analytics collection. Used together, they support many typical use cases.

Temporarily disable collection

If you wish to temporarily disable Analytics collection, such as to get end-user consent before collecting data, you can set the value of FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_ENABLED to NO (Boolean) in your app’s Info.plist file. For example, viewed in the source XML:

To re-enable collection, such as after an end-user provides consent, call the setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled instance method of Analytics . For example:

Swift

Objective-C

If you need to suspend collection again for any reason, you can call

Swift

Objective-C

and collection is suspended until you re-enable it. The value set by the setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled method persists across app executions and overrides the value for FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_ENABLED in your app’s Info.plist file. Once you set a value for setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled , Analytics collection remains in that state until setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled is called again, even if a user closes and re-opens your app.

Permanently deactivate collection

If you need to deactivate Analytics collection permanently in a version of your app, set FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_DEACTIVATED to YES (Boolean) in your app’s Info.plist file. Setting FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_DEACTIVATED to YES (Boolean) takes priority over any values for FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_ENABLED in your app’s Info.plist as well as any values set with setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled .

To re-enable collection, remove FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_DEACTIVATED from your Info.plist. Setting FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_DEACTIVATED to NO (Boolean) has no effect and results in the same behavior as not having FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_DEACTIVATED set in your Info.plist file.

Disable IDFA collection

If you installed Firebase through CocoaPods by adding pod ‘Firebase/Analytics’ to your app’s Podfile and wish to disable collection of the IDFA (a device’s advertising identifier) in your Apple app, ensure that the AdSupport framework is not included in your app.

To install Firebase without any IDFA collection capability, use the following subspec in place of pod ‘Firebase/Analytics’ :

Learn more about IDFA in Apple’s documentation:

Disable IDFV collection

If you wish to disable collection of the IDFV (Identifier for Vendor) in your Apple app, set the value of GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_IDFV_COLLECTION_ENABLED to NO (Boolean) in your app’s Info.plist file.

Configure the use of Analytics data

Disable personalized advertising features

If you have linked your Google Analytics project to an ads account or otherwise enabled an ads integration, or opted into data sharing, your Analytics data may be eligible for use in personalized advertising. This means for instance, that you may use collected events such as first_open to create and deploy audience lists for remarketing unless you indicate that such data is not available for personalized advertising.

To programmatically control whether a user’s Analytics data should be used for personalized advertising, set the appropriate default behavior in the app’s AndroidManifest.xml file, and then use the methods described below to override that default behavior.

To set the default personalized advertising behavior, set the value of GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_AD_PERSONALIZATION_SIGNALS to NO (Boolean) in your app’s Info.plist file.

You can also control whether data collected from end users may be used for ads personalization via the ads personalization setting, found in Google Analytics’ Property settings.

Re-enable personalized advertising features

To re-enable personalized advertising features for a user at run-time, such as after an end-user provides consent, use the setUserProperty method as shown below:

Swift

Objective-C

If you have chosen to temporarily disable analytics collection (for example, until an end-user provides consent), and you want to control personalized advertising features upon re-enabling analytics collection for a user, ensure that your call to specify this setting precedes your call to re-enable analytics collection. For example:

Swift

Objective-C

Confirming your settings

When ad personalization signals have been disabled for a user via one of the mechanisms defined above, subsequent event bundles logged from that user’s device will contain a user property named «non_personalized_ads» with a value of 1 to indicate that events in that bundle are not available for personalized advertising. Disabling personalized advertising does not affect the use of the data for measurement purposes, including reporting and attribution.

Начать работу с Google Analytics

Google Analytics собирает данные об использовании и поведении вашего приложения. SDK регистрирует два основных типа информации:

• События: Что происходит в вашем приложении, например, действия пользователя, системные события или ошибки.
• Пользовательские свойства: Атрибуты можно определить для описания сегментов базы пользователей, такие как языковые предпочтения или географического местоположения.

Аналитика автоматически регистрирует некоторые события и пользовательские свойства ; вам не нужно добавлять код, чтобы включить их.

Прежде чем вы начнете

Если вы еще не сделали, добавить Firebase в свой Android проекта и убедиться , что Google Analytics включен в вашем Firebase проекте:

Если вы создаете новый проект Firebase, включите Google Analytics во время рабочего процесса создания проекта.

Если вы используете существующий проект Firebase , который не включен Google Analytics, перейдите на интеграциях вкладку ваших settings > Настройка проекта , чтобы включить его.

Когда вы включаете Google Analytics в своем проекте, ваши приложения Firebase связываются с потоками данных Google Analytics.

Добавьте SDK Google Analytics в свое приложение

Использование Firebase Android Банка Москвы , объявить зависимость для библиотеки Analytics Android в вашем модуле (приложение уровня) Gradle файл (обычно app/build.gradle ).

Mobile App Reporting in Google Analytics — Android plat_android

Mobile app reporting in Google Analytics provides insight on app usage, user engagement, and cross-network attribution.

Key capabilities

Unlimited Reporting	Unlimited app reporting on up to 500 distinct events.
Audience Segmentation	Custom audiences can be defined based on device data, custom events, or user properties. These audiences can be used with Firebase features as well as with Google’s ads products.

How does it work?

Mobile app reporting in Google Analytics helps you understand how people use your iOS or Android app. These reports work in conjunction with the Firebase SDK, which automatically captures a number of events and user properties and also allows you to define your own custom events to measure the things that uniquely matter to your business. Once the data is captured, it’s available in a dashboard in both the Google Analytics interface and the Firebase console. This dashboard provides detailed insights about your data — from summary data such as active users and demographics, to more detailed data such as identifying your most purchased items.

App reporting in Google Analytics also integrates with a number of other Firebase features. For example, it automatically logs events that correspond to your Firebase Notifications and provides reporting on the impact of each campaign.

App reporting in Google Analytics includes cross-network attribution. With it, you can see the performance of your campaigns across organic and paid channels to understand which methods are most effective at driving high-value users. If you need to perform custom analysis or go deep on your custom parameters you can link your Analytics data to BigQuery – and use templates in Data Studio to visualize it.

Integrations with other services

BigQuery	Link your app analytics to BigQuery where you can perform custom analysis on your entire analytics dataset and import other data sources.
Firebase Crash Reporting	App reporting in Google Analytics logs events for each crash so you can get a sense of the rate of crashes for different versions or regions, allowing you to gain insight into which users are impacted. You can also create audiences for users who have experienced multiple crashes and respond with Firebase Notifications directed at that audience.
Firebase Notifications	App reports in Google Analytics automatically log events that correspond to your Firebase Notifications and support reporting on the impact of each campaign.
Firebase Remote Config	Use audience definitions to change the behavior and appearance of your app for different audiences without distributing multiple versions of your app.
Google Tag Manager	Integrating Google Tag Manager alongside the Firebase SDK enables you to manage your analytics implementation remotely. With it, you can manage the format of your events, when they’re collected, and even route them to other destinations all from a web interface – and after your app has been distributed.

Implementation path

Connect your app to Firebase	Getting started with app analytics is easy. Just add the Firebase SDK to your new or existing app and data collection begins automatically. Then connect your Firebase app to Google Analytics to get app reporting in both the Google Analytics interface and the Firebase console.
Log custom data	You can use analytics to log custom events that make sense for your app, like purchases, virtual currency spends, or achievements.
Create audiences	You can define the audiences that matter to you and use them to segment your reports and gain deeper insights.
Target audiences	Then use your audiences to target messages, promotions, or new app features using other Firebase features, such as Notifications and Remote Config, or with Google’s ads products.

Next steps

• Add the Firebase SDK to your Android app.
• Analyze reports in the Analytics reporting dashboard.
• Download Android sample code.

Analytics

Installation and getting started with Analytics.

This module requires that the @react-native-firebase/app module is already setup and installed. To install the «app» module, view the Getting Started documentation.

If you’re using an older version of React Native without autolinking support, or wish to integrate into an existing project, you can follow the manual installation steps for iOS and Android.

What does it do

Analytics collects usage and behavior data for your app. Its two primary concerns are:

• Events: What is happening in your app, such as user actions, system events, or errors.
• User properties: Attributes you define to describe segments of your user base, such as language preference or geographic location.

Analytics automatically logs some events and user properties; you don’t need to add any code to enable them. However, Analytics also allows you to log custom or predefined events within your app. How you can do this will be explained below.

Analytics offers a wealth of Predefined Events to track user behavior. Analytics also offers folks the ability to log Custom Events . If you’re already familiar with Google Analytics, this method is equivalent to using the event command in gtag.js.

Below is an example showing how a custom event can be logged. Please be aware that primitive data types or arrays of primitive data types are logged in your Firebase Analytics console.

To help you get started, Analytics provides a number of event methods that are common among different types of apps, including retail and e-commerce, travel, and gaming apps. To learn more about these events and when to use them, browse the Events and properties articles in the Firebase Help Center.

Below is a sample of how to use one of the predefined methods the Analytics module provides for you:

For a full reference to predefined events and expected parameters, please check out the reference API.

The Analytics package works out of the box, however a number of events are automatically reported to Firebase. These event names are called as ‘Reserved Events’. Attempting to send any custom event using the logEvent method with any of the following event names will throw an error.

Reserved Events Names
ad_activeview	ad_click	ad_exposure
ad_impression	ad_query	ad_reward
adunit_exposure	app_background	app_clear_data
app_remove	app_store_refund	app_store_subscription_cancel
app_store_subscription_convert	app_store_subscription_renew	app_update
app_upgrade	dynamic_link_app_open	dynamic_link_app_update
dynamic_link_first_open	error	first_open
first_visit	in_app_purchase	notification_dismiss
notification_foreground	notification_open	notification_receive
os_update	session_start	session_start_with_rollout
user_engagement

App instance id

Below is an example showing how to retrieve the app instance id of the application. This will return null on android if FirebaseAnalytics.ConsentType.ANALYTICS_STORAGE has been set to FirebaseAnalytics.ConsentStatus.DENIED and null on iOS if ConsentType.analyticsStorage has been set to ConsentStatus.denied.

Disable Ad Id usage on iOS

Apple has a strict ban on the usage of Ad Ids («IDFA») in Kids Category apps. They will not accept any app in the Kids category if the app accesses the IDFA iOS symbols.

Additionally, apps must implement Apples «App Tracking Transparency» (or «ATT») requirements if they access IDFA symbols. However, if an app does not use IDFA and otherwise handles data in an ATT-compatible way, it eliminates this ATT requirement.

If you need to avoid IDFA usage while still using analytics, then you need firebase-ios-sdk v7.11.0 or greater and to define the following variable in your Podfile:

During pod install , using that variable installs a new «Analytics With No Ad Ids» pod the firebase-ios-sdk team has created, and allows both the use of Firebase Analytics in Kids Category apps, and use of Firebase Analytics without needing the App Tracking Transparency handling (assuming no other parts of your app handle data in a way that requires ATT)

Note that for obvious reasons, configuring Firebase Analytics for use without IDFA is incompatible with AdMob

Analytics can be further configured to disable auto collection of Analytics data. This is useful for opt-in-first data flows, for example when dealing with GDPR compliance. This is possible by setting the below noted property on the firebase.json file at the root of your project directory.

To re-enable analytics (e.g. once you have the users consent), call the setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled method:
