iOS Installation

Manually integrate Analytics into your iOS application.

iOS Manual Installation

The following steps are only required if you are using React Native <= 0.59 or need to manually integrate the library.

1. Add the Pod

Add the RNFBAnalytics Pod to your projects /ios/Podfile:

target 'app' do
  # ...
  pod 'RNFBAnalytics', :path => '../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/analytics'
end

2. Update Pods & rebuild the project

You may need to update your local Pods in order for the RNFBAnalytics Pod to be installed in your project:

$ cd ios/
$ pod install --repo-update

Once the Pods have installed locally, rebuild your iOS project:

npx react-native run-ios

Device Identification

If you would like to enable Firebase Analytics to generate automatic audience metrics for iOS (as it does by default in Android), you must link additional iOS libraries, as documented by the Google Firebase team. Specifically you need libAdIdAccess.a and AdSupport.framework.

The way to do this using CocoaPods is to add this to your Podfile (though please use the most current Pod version supported by React Native Firebase):

# ...
target 'app' do
  # ...
  pod 'RNFBAnalytics', :path => '../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/analytics'
  pod 'GoogleIDFASupport', '~> 3.14.0'
end
