Could not integrate google analytics in android app to use Attribution feature - android

I want to use google analytics for Install referrer and traffic source attribution for Android App.
I have linked my Firebase project with google analytics. I can see these projects while login in Google analytics.
To integrate google analytics i need ga_trackingId that starts with "UA-". I searched for same on google analytics dashboard but could not find it. I also tried to search for measurement id that starts with "G-". But could not fing that too.
I searched for solution on internet but could not find it.
Please help me on this to integration part so that i can use attribution feature of google analytics for android app.

One of the requirements to use Attribution is to link a View.
Views exist for Universal Analytics and not for Google Analytics 4.
The apps (Android/iOS) work with Google Analytics 4 and not with Universal Analytics.
So you can't use Attribution for the app, currently.
It is an answer that may not be what you were hoping for but at least you do not waste any more time looking for a solution that currently does not exist.

Which dependencies to use between Firebase and Google Play Services?

I recently started playing with Firebase, but I cannot completely understand its relation with Google Play Services. I know that Firebase is a mobile platform, and on Android it is based on Google Play Services, but why there are some modules with the same name of the ones of Google Play Services?
For example, in my build.gradle I can have:
com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:9.4.0
com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:9.4.0
but also:
com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.4.0
com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:9.4.0
I see that on Firebase documentation there is the list of available components (and note that the last one is actually a Google Play Services module):
com.google.android.gms:play-services-appindexing:9.4.0
The same list for Google Play Services is much longer, so some modules are not available using only Firebase dependencies. Which dependencies should I use and why? Can I use mixed dependencies?
On this new Firebase (from May 18th), Google added a few existing services to it. Google Play Services already had features like: Analytics, AdMob, Test Lab, etc. And you could use them from your Google Developer Console.
But then, they decided to merge some of those features with firebase. This way, you can have all of the features "together" on your Firebase Console. They are now unified to give your users a better experience and to help you (as a developer) easily manage your project.
So, if you want to use firebase, you should use the firebase dependencies. The Google play dependencies are meant for projects created on the Google Developer Console.

Google Developers Console and Google Play Console

I want to implement the "sign in with Google" button in my Android app. And I read this:
Before you can start integrating Google Sign-In in your own app, you
must configure a Google Developers Console project and set up your
Android Studio project. The steps on this page do just that. The next
steps then describe how to integrate Google Sign-In into your app.
And in order to publish the app I need also a Google Play Console, and I was wondering why do I need to create a Project in Google Developers Console?
Can I make this also in Google Play console??
What is the difference between Google Developers console and Google Play console?
Thanks
Cheers
Google Developers console you can think of as a Google "Cloud" console. Almost anything to do with interacting with Google servers from your app is done there. Most of the APIs and features are cross-platform iOS, Android and Web. You can find it at https://console.developers.google.com/.
Signing in with Google is a cloud feature, and cross-platform so lives there. You can have a Google account on any platform.
Google Play console is focused on publishing your app to Android users. If you want stats for running your business, to affect the store listing, or roll out a new APK that's where to go.

Google Analytics V3 vs V4

I want to implement Google Analytics in my android app. I'm not interested in eCommerce and Global Tracking. All I want to track is the screens visited and events generated by users.
Tried using Google Analytics V3 and it works fine.
Want to migrate to V4 (Should I?).
Google Analytics V4 is now integrated with Google Play Services, which is HUGE. I now get this 65K method problem in android.
Found a good article on that here. The Google Play Services Modular structure is for Gradle. I'm using Eclipse with the android SDK.
Is there any similar work around? Why add the huge library when you just want to use a part of it?

Google plus in android app

I am working on an app with integration for facebook, twitter, flicker, and Google plus. I have done all the things besides Google plus.
Has anyone used Google plus API in his own app?
The Google+ Platform for Android is now available.
With the platform, you are able to:
Allow users to sign in with Google+.
Integrate the native +1 button.
Write moments to the user's Google+ history (developer preview)
For more information, see:
https://developers.google.com/+/mobile/android/
Right now there is no official API for Google Plus for Android. Check out the official documentation here.
Quote:
The Google+ platform for Android will soon be available in the coming
weeks — this documentation gives you a quick overview of what to
expect.
