Request: Update Firebase Analytics to 17.5.0
Firebase Analytics had manual screen view tracking quit messed up until recently.
-
Before: They have the predefined
screen_view, but you would get an error if trying to manually send it. You should usesetScreenName(), but it had the issue that, due to automatic activity tracking, twoscreen_viewevents would get logged. (setScreenName()was not anyway exposed in this plugin. Just mentioning it to tell the whole story.) -
Now: They deprecated
setScreenName()and now you can submitscreen_viewevents manually, which gets us rid of the mentioned issues. For that to work, you need Firebase Analytics 17.5.0.
My request is therefore to upgrade the relevant library, like this:
com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.5.0
I've done it for my game and it's working fine.
By the way, since I'm only using Analytics, that's actually the only entry I've left in Firebase.release.gdap. I've even removed androidx.work:work-runtime:2.3.4 and com.google.guava:guava:29.0-android since they don't seem to be needed, at least for it. Are they really needed for the other Firebase packages?
I take the opportunity to thank you for this Firebase integration. It works fine and saves a lot of time.
