[🐛] Automatically collected events for In-App Messaging are not sent to analytics in Android

[mmkhmk]

Issue

We use In-App messaging in our app. But automatically collected events are not sent though messaging is shown, only in Android. It works fine in iOS.

Here are the list of events I want to send automatically.

• firebase_in_app_message_action
• firebase_in_app_message_dismiss
• firebase_in_app_message_impression

Please help me if something is wrong with my settings.

 * bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
 * and their defaults. If you decide to add a configuration block, make sure to add it before the

Can you show me your firebase.json (if it exists), and update to current versions of firebase and at least react-native 0.67 (upgrade helper should help you get there - the diffs between 63/64/65/66/67 were each pretty small and it's not too hard to update step by step on those ones) https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/

I want to make sure we're not chasing ghosts

[mmkhmk]

It was my fault I didn't know about the limitation https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/4768. Seems it works fine in Android as well. Sorry for my understanding and I really appreciate your cooperation. Let me close this.

[mikehardy]

I'm not sure I was aware of that either! This stuff is subtle - if by limit you mean this specific comment on your linked issue https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/4768#issuecomment-580489295

we allow only 1 on app foreground or app launch campaign a day - this is to prevent you from accidentally overwhelming your users with non-contextually appropriate messages

If there is anything that could be improved (a warning perhaps?) you as the new integrator will know exactly which documents you hit on rnfirebase.io where a warning might be placed? If you hit the edit button top-right of every docs page GitHub Web UI will walk you through a quick in-browser flow to propose a change, maybe we can save future devs some confusion :-)

[mmkhmk]

I'm sorry for the mix up, but faced this kind of issue again. Metrics are displayed correctly for each message in Messaging page in firebase console. But I can't find expected data for In-App Messaging in analytics, only for Android. iOS works.

[mmkhmk]

Does anyone have solutions?
