Setup

Navigate to the project settings page for your app on Firebase.

iOS

Download the GoogleService-Info.plist file. In Xcode right-click on the yellow folder named "App" and select the Add files to "App".

Tip: if you drag and drop your file to this location, Xcode may not be able to find it.

Android

Download the google-services.json file and copy it to android/app/ directory of your capacitor project.

Variables

This plugin will use the following project variables (defined in your app’s variables.gradle file):

• $firebaseAnalyticsVersion version of com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics (default: 21.2.2)

iOS setup

• ionic start my-cap-app --capacitor
• cd my-cap-app
• npm install --save @capacitor-community/firebase-analytics
• mkdir www && touch www/index.html
• sudo gem install cocoapods (only once)
• npx cap add ios
• npx cap sync ios (every time you run npm install)
• npx cap open ios
• sign your app at xcode (general tab)
• add GoogleService-Info.plist to the app folder in xcode

Enable debug view

1. In Xcode, select Product > Scheme > Edit scheme
2. Select Run from the left menu
3. Select the Arguments tab
4. In the Arguments Passed On Launch section, add -FIRAnalyticsDebugEnabled

Tip: every time you change a native code you may need to clean up the cache (Product > Clean build folder) and then run the app again.

Android setup

• ionic start my-cap-app --capacitor
• cd my-cap-app
• npm install --save @capacitor-community/firebase-analytics
• mkdir www && touch www/index.html
• npx cap add android
• npx cap sync android (every time you run npm install)
• npx cap open android
• add google-services.json to your android/app folder

Now you should be set to go. Try to run your client using ionic cap run android --livereload --address=0.0.0.0.

Tip: every time you change a native code you may need to clean up the cache (Build > Clean Project | Build > Rebuild Project) and then run the app again.

Updating

For existing projects you can upgrade all capacitor related packages (including this plugin) with this single command

npx npm-upgrade '*capacitor*' && npm install

Migration

If you were previously using the capacitor-analytics package from npm

1. Update NPM package:

   npm uninstall --save capacitor-analytics
   npm install --save-prod @capacitor-community/firebase-analytics@latest

2. Update the plugin initialization in Android's MainActivity.java

   Remove the old plugin import:

   -import io.stewan.capacitor.analytics.AnalyticsPlugin;

   Update the init() call to remove the old plugin import. You may be able to remove the entire init() call if there is nothing else in there.

   // Initializes the Bridge
   this.init(savedInstanceState, new ArrayList<Class<? extends Plugin>>() {{
     // Additional plugins you've installed go here
     // Ex: add(TotallyAwesomePlugin.class);
   - add(AnalyticsPlugin.class);
   }});

3. Public API changes:

   • instance() has been renamed to getAppInstanceId()
   • setScreen() has been renamed to setScreenName()
   • setUserID() has been renamed to setUserId()
   • setUserProp() has been renamed to setUserProperty()
   • enable() has been deprecated in favor of setCollectionEnabled()
   • disable() has been deprecated in favor of setCollectionEnabled()
