Google Analytics setup overview

There are two likely scenario's in which you'll probably find yourself if you haven't enabled Google Analytics for your Flutter app yet;

1. You're building a new app that has no Firebase configuration yet.

2. You have an existing AppMachine app that already has a Firebase project that is used to send push messages to your Android users.

Make sure you execute the steps from the correct scenario to prevent any duplicate Firebase projects or other issues. In this article I'll quickly explain what steps to take in the scenario's mentioned above. Most steps are discussed in more detail in separate articles if more info is required.

Scenario 1; No Firebase configuration / New app

1. Run through the Firebase setup as shown in the articles here.

2. Set up the Android and iOS configs in Firebase by clicking on the "View Certificates and API Keys" option on the Publish page.

Follow the instructions and remember that you can always refer back to the Firebase articles.

4. Enable the Firebase Analytics integration on this page.

5. Publish your app

Scenario 2; Existing Firebase configuration / Existing app

2. Set up the iOS config in Firebase by clicking on the "View Certificates and API Keys" option on the Publish page.

Follow the instructions and remember that you can always refer back to the Firebase articles.
