Turning Firebase Analytics on on Xcode

Question

I am trying to test the implementation of my Firebase Analytics. In their documentation they state that:

Enable debug mode by passing the -FIRDebugEnable

Answer 1

I think you should check console log on XCode. Because I will show log

To enable debug logging set the following application argument: -FIRAnalyticsDebugEnabled (see https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/8.0/#/dev3ec8a1cb4)

Check again, if you don't:

• Add key FirebaseCrashlyticsCollectionEnabled has value true in Info.plist
• set key IS_ANALYTICS_ENABLED is true in GoogleService-Info.plist
• Make sure file GoogleService-Info.plist add will all targets and save in root project

Answer 2

I have found the answer on this alternative page of Google:

https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/ios/start

1. In Xcode, select Product > Scheme > Edit scheme...
2. Select Run from the left menu.
3. Select the Arguments tab.
4. In the Arguments Passed On Launch section, add -FIRAnalyticsDebugEnabled.

I wish Google would stop releasing half baked products and documentation. Could save hundreds of thousands of hours worldwide

Answer 3

I tried editing scheme and adding parameters, https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/ios/start but it did not work for me. In addition, I added following code after configuring FirebaseApp, at AppDelegate, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

    FirebaseApp.configure()
    Analytics.setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(true)

and it worked for me. I hope it helps you too.
