I went to create a new google analytics property for my mobile app, and it seems like Google is now forcing us to use their Firebase analytics for mobile. There is no option to not use Firebase if you select that you are creating the property for a mobile app.
Does anyone know a way around this? I need to create a new property for my app, and my app isn't set up to use Firebase.
Thanks!
Google analytics also supported mobile analytics though android and IOS sdk's which sent Screen hits to google analytics. There was a difference between Mobile and web google analytics accounts. Firebase is a platform developed by Google for creating mobile and web applications.
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.
In the Property column, select the Universal Analytics property that currently collects data for your website. In the Property column, click GA4 Setup Assistant. It is the first option in the Property column. Click Get started under I want to create a new Google Analytics 4 property.
Follow the below steps:
First create a property for website under PROPERTY column mentioning your mobile app website in website field. example "resApp.com/"
For this created property, create a new view under VIEW column by selecting "Mobile" from the dropdown menu.
By doing this you can get to use Google analytics alone. No need of firebase.
