I've been using Analytics to track my application usage since a couple of years. I was suggested by Google to change the tracking to Firebase as the Analytics API will be de-supported. I changed it and in Firebase console I was asked to link my app to Analytics and once I did it I got a new property in Analytics web. Everything is tracked correctly but I want to view my statistics in the Android app of Google Analytics. The problem is that the properties created by the link with Firebase are not visible in the app. Could you suggest a way to change that?

I have an old project which I still find useful that was originally built with Google Cloud Messaging, that I then had to convert to use Firebase Cloud Messaging. I haven't worked on it for years but find it useful for my friends to track my phone's position via a web page on my always-on Raspberry Pi.
I received an e-mail from Google Analytics which said
You are receiving this email because you own one or more Firebase
projects using Google Analytics. With the release of Google Analytics
4 properties, to keep using your Firebase projects with Google
Analytics, you must take action to accept the Google Analytics Terms
of Service for the following projects:
I tried following the upgrade instructions via the console and get a failure due to an internal error
To the best of my knowledge I don't use any of the analytics stuff, so my question is quite simple:
"Will my existing messaging to my phone from my web page still work?"

Sorry to hear about the problem you have when upgrading your project to GA4. Our team is aware of the problem, and working on a fix, so I recommend trying again in a few hours. Meanwhile check this page for status updates.
Firebase Cloud Messaging relies on Google Analytics data to build its dynamic audiences, which you can target when sending notification from the Firebase console. If you don't use dynamic audiences, you don't need Google Analytics to use Firebase Cloud Messaging.
At my company we are making a new iOS + Android app.
We need to get screen views analytics.
At my company doesn't like Firebase Analytics because with the new events analytics (vs the old page views) marketing team can't get enought information from the new events reports.
So I was requested to implement this app analytics using the "old" Google Analytics for Mobile SDK (the one that was used before Firebase) using a Universal Analytics property.
In iOS seems to be working. At least I see myself as active user in Google Analytics. But it's not saving the screen paths.
In Android it doesn't even push the screen views to Google Analytics.
Does anyone knows if Google Analytics for Mobile with a universal analytics property can still be used in 2021?
Or I am obliged to use Firebase Analytics?
For some reason the historical hits data in Analytics Universal Mobile always seems to be accessible in Google Analytics. However Google sent an email to Analytics's users where it communicated that:
We want to let you know that in October 2019 we will begin to sunset our Google Analytics for mobile apps reporting and the Google Analytics Services SDK. We are investing our resources in the latest style of app reporting in Google Analytics that works in conjunction with Firebase – Google’s integrated app developer platform. As such, the following will take place:
In 2019, we will begin to decommission properties that receive data exclusively from the Google Analytics Services SDK.
Data collection and processing for such properties will stop on October 31, 2019.
Reporting access through our UI and API access will remain available for these properties’ historical data until January 31, 2020.
After our service is fully turned down, these properties will no longer be accessible via our Google Analytics UI or API, and their data will be removed from Google Analytics servers. You will receive further notification when this time nears.
At this time, no Analytics 360 properties are impacted by these changes.
Anyway Google want to focus on Firebase (GA4) as the new paradigm for Google’s mobile app (and web) analytics soit is appropriate to use the new data collection model and not the old SDK.
I have installed Firebase to my Android and iOS apps, I can check the stats on computer, but can't check them on my iphone Google analytics app. Is there any way or app where can I check the stats or do I need to install also Google analytics to my apps as well?
When you use Google Analytics for Firebase (formerly known as Firebase Analytics) the analytics results show up in the Firebase console. They do not (currently) show up in the Google Analytics dashboard.
You can have a Firebase view in GA : it's just a webview of your firebase Console in GA (so the FiB and GA data are not mixed at all).
Another solution is to use a GTM container to send and convert your FiB event into GA data.
Here is the documentation for this process :

I'm developing an android app for, for which I want integrate Firebase Analytics.
But apparently logging custom events and viewing those custom events in a dashboard is not easy.
And the Google App Engine project is linked to Firebase now, but I want to integrate Google Analytics for the same project in my android app.
But while trying to set up Google Analytics, when I try to select project and click on CONTINUE TO Choose and configure services I'm getting redirected to Firebase Analytics page.
Please help. Thanks :)
If you're using Firebase, you already have Firebase Analytics on your app (out of the box). If you check your Firebase Console, you'll notice that some events have already been collected.
And logging Custom Events is not really hard. You can check how to do it on the Firebase Analytics Documentation.
Can Somebody guide me that is it possible to integrate Google Analytics with already published Android apps on Google play?
Because I have tried creating an account on Google analytics and then I connected Google developer account with it. At Google analytics I
created an admin account.
created a property.
created a user view.
integrate it with one of my already published app.
But even after 24 hours I can see nothing on Google analytics.
So Is it really the only way to write trackers in code before launching it? But as I got to some point by connecting app to analytics I think there might be a way to do so with already published apps.
I have done with iOS app, I missed in first version and then later added. It works properly. Just check time graph, there it will display always a day you can change date and can check.
To enable Analytics in your app you need to link the app to Google Play Services and initialize Google Analytics following the developer guide:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v4/#setup-overview
Unfortunately, this can not be done after you have shipped your app. It requires app update.
