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

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.

How can I verify that my Google Developer API is at V3?

I got email from Google saying “Action required: Migrate to v3 of the Developer API by December 1". The details can be found here: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/03/changes-to-google-play-developer-api.html.
I found that we are using V2 in the backend. My questions are:
How can I be sure that my app is no longer calling V2? From what I see, I could be using other third-party library that's calling V1 or V2. Is there a place in Google Developer Console I can check to make sure?
I am also using many Google libraries in my Android App. Is there a way to know if they are using V3? It would be a pain to update all of them to the latest.

Minimum Android API level for Google Analytics

I am developing an Android application in which I am planning to integrate Google Analytics. Currently, my application's minimum API level is 10.
I have following questions:
What is the minimum API level required for Google Analytics?
What are the best alternatives of GA which supports API level 10?
Thank you.
There is no API limit to Google Analytics. According to official documentation, it appears that all devices that has Google Play services integrated in them will support Google Analytics integration to your app. It is also said in the official documentation that
Google Analytics can be used and will work on devices that do not have Google Play Services. In this case you still download and use the Google Play Services SDK and Google Analytics will automatically fall back to local dispatching.
So, it can be used by downloading the Google Play Services SDK, least bother about the API Level.
According to the Google Analytics Website: https://developers.google.com/analytics/
There does not appear to be an API limit for Google Analytics.
For alternatives there seems to be a handful ranging from Piwik and Gauges.

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?

Does the Google Analytics campaign measurement tracking for web-to-device was solved in v3 or v4?

In Google Analytics SDK v2 for Android there is a section of known issues stating that:
"Google Play Campaign Measurement does not currently support web-to-device installs initiated from the web Play Store"
On the documentation of v4 the known issues section is missing and same goes for v3.
Does anyone knows if the problem with the web-to-device measurements was solved in v3 or v4?
From what I read in different places the problem is that the "INSTALL_REFERRER" is not broadcast by the system when the application was installed from the desktop-web play store.
Thanks,
Oded
