Question 1

How to set up screen tracking in Capacitor with Firebase Analytics?

Accepted Answer

Use the setScreenName method, but note it's only supported on Android and iOS, not web. For web, consider logging custom events or using alternative approaches, as per the README's platform support table.

Question 2

What's the difference between capacitor-community/firebase-analytics and using Firebase JS SDK directly?

Accepted Answer

This plugin bridges native Firebase SDKs for mobile with a unified API, ensuring accurate analytics on Android/iOS, while the JS SDK is web-only. For hybrid apps, the plugin avoids discrepancies in data collection.

Question 3

How to migrate from the old capacitor-analytics package?

Accepted Answer

Follow the migration guide in the README: uninstall the old package, update imports in native code, and rename methods like setUserID to setUserId. Detailed steps and code diffs are provided for smooth transition.

Question 4

Does this plugin support Firebase Analytics debug mode on iOS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, enable it by adding -FIRAnalyticsDebugEnabled in Xcode scheme arguments, as detailed in the iOS setup section. This helps test and verify analytics events during development.

Question 5

Can I use this plugin with Ionic apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since Ionic apps often use Capacitor for native builds. The plugin is designed for Capacitor projects, making it a seamless fit for Ionic-based cross-platform applications.

Question 6

How to handle user properties across all platforms?

Accepted Answer

Use the setUserProperty method, which is supported on Android, iOS, and web. Define properties consistently in your JavaScript code, and refer to the README's examples for implementation details.
