Functionality to disable automatic screen tracking in Xamarin.Firebase.iOS.Analytics

Open acuntex opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

I am using Xamarin.Firebase.iOS.Analytics to track the user engagement with Firebase/Google Analytics.

When navigating through the App, the App always sets the screen_names and tracks the View that has been navigated to. This works fine.

Unfortunately Xamarin.Firebase.iOS.Analytics does track a lot of screen views without my engagement, that's why i have a lot of entries in Firebase/Google Analytics:

Xamarin_Forms_Platform_iOS_NavigationRenderer_ParentingViewController Xamarin_Forms_Platform_iOS_PlatformRenderer Xamarin_Forms_Platform_iOS_PageRenderer MyAppName_Forms_iOS_Renderer_CustomPageRenderer Rg_Plugins_Popup_IOS_Renderers_PopupPageRenderer

Some of these entries get on top of the lists and falsify the analytics data making it basically useless.

Could you provide a way to disable these automatic trackings?

Yeah, they are quite annoying, any news?

Does this help? Scroll down to "Can I disable automatically collected screen_view events and only use manual logging?" https://firebase.googleblog.com/2020/08/google-analytics-manual-screen-view.html
