Has anyone actually tried adding Google Analytics to Android app without using Firebase recently? I can't seem to find the way to get the GA Tracking ID. I actually managed to do it last year by creating the project in Google Developer Console first before adding GA.
Now GA doesn't even give the option of importing mobile app project without using Firebase. Anyone with similar experience?
The reason I am asking for this is because adding GA with or without Firebase shows different console interface. And the app with GA via Firebase doesn't show up on the GA Android App.

1) You don't need a firebase project as you don't own a mobile app. 2) Create new GA4 property from within the GA user interface. 3) Add a new web data stream to your GA4 property.
Generally, if you are solely focused on creating and developing apps, Firebase is the best option for your business. It is mobile-forward and focused on the development of mobile apps. This will work better for an app-focused company. If you only have a website, Google Analytics is the best option.
Found a workaround to use Google Analytics for Mobile Apps without using Firebase.
Steps:
If you choose Website:
If you choose Mobile App:
You will notice that there is no option to create a tracking ID for Mobile Apps.
A tracking ID will be generated for you.
An "All Web Site Data" view will be created for you.
Open Administration of your account by selecting the Settings icon.
Choose the newly created Property
Click on the View dropdown and select "Create new view"
Select "Mobile app" and fill in the view name
Done! Now, you can delete the web site data view.
