Firebase Analytics upload delay

Question

Is there any way to increase Firebase Analytics upload rate for logged events on android? Currently it uploads them every hour and it is too slow for testing purposes.

Answer 1

There is currently no way to manually override these settings. However, we recognize the need to see your reporting more quickly and we hope to address this need soon.

In the meantime, you can enable verbose debug output to verify that your events are indeed being logged and uploaded. Issue the following commands and then run your app and log events :

adb shell setprop log.tag.FA VERBOSE
adb shell setprop log.tag.FA-SVC VERBOSE
adb logcat -v time -s FA FA-SVC

Hope this helps,

No, the application can not control the upload cadence for Firebase Analytics. On Google Play devices the uploading is done by Google Play Services and there is no application code involved in the process. On non Google Play devices the uploading is done from the application process. Accelerated uploading is common request and and it might be supported in future release.

I found a "way" to load test data a bit faster: data wipe (emulator) forces app to use "initial delay", which is 15 seconds only.
