Android Using Firebase Analytics along with Google Analytics

I'd love to know how I can use Firebase Analytics (FA) and Google Analytics (GA) simultaneously as FA doesn't provide real-time data and my apps already integrated with GA since the beginning. I'd like to continue using GA since all my analytic data started there when I first launched my apps. Meanwhile, I'd like to have my apps have FA integrated to get more info.

I followed Using Firebase Analytics and Google Analytics together and setup Google Tag Manager. It doesn't seem to be working for me. I do see FA dashboard being updated but nothing is showing up in GA.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Does Firebase use Google Analytics?

At the heart of Firebase is Google Analytics, an unlimited analytics solution available at no charge. Analytics integrates across Firebase features and provides you with unlimited reporting for up to 500 distinct events that you can define using the Firebase SDK.

You should use the google-services.json that is supplied for your app in the Firebase console. If this is missing your GA tracking ID, you can supply it manually either in your call to newTracker or as a string resource.

In FireBase console, don't CREATE NEW APP, just IMPORT GOOGLE APP. Let import your current google analytic's app. Then replace your old config file by new firebase's config file. Enjoy!
