🐛 [firebase_analytics] After migrated to Dart-only initialization, analytics is not working on Android.

Bug report

https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/manual-installation#android

I migrated my app to Dart-only initialization.
Then, firebase analytics is not working on Android. I got this error.

E/FA (17925): Missing google_app_id. Firebase Analytics disabled. See https://goo.gl/NAOOOI

Steps to reproduce

1. flutterfire configure
2. Remove the /android/app/google-services.json file.
3. Remove the google-services dependency from the /android/build.gradle file.
4. Remove the plugin execution via the /android/app/build.gradle file.

import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart';
import 'firebase_options.dart';
...
void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  await Firebase.initializeApp(options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform);

  runApp(const App());
}

Expected behavior

firebase_analytics runs fine on android.

Tried the dart-only intialization steps as mentioned in https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/manual-installation/#migrating-to-dart-only-initialization on a sample app and running it on Android does show me the same error:

Missing google_app_id. Firebase Analytics disabled. See https://goo.gl/NAOOOI

firebase_analytics: ^9.0.4 and latest stable (2.8.1).

Also seeing few reports for same error:

I have exact same problem with android

[NebulaFox]

I got around this issue by going back and using the old approach of with the google services file.

[youssefali424]

why deprecate manual installation then? that is so miss leading

[otger]

The same problem happens to me, works fine in ios, fails in android when using dart-only initialization. The only thing I did was to change the package name manually from com.example.whatever to a one with my domain, although this should not be an issue as flutterfire configure detects it correctly.

[andredealmei]

why is closed with a "doc" pr ?

[najibghadri]

Why is this closed @darshankawar ? It's not fixed still, I have this same problem with the dart-only installation. And all of these have been closed without a fix to either the code or docs 😕 :
#1524
#1335
#7708

This problem will have me set up manual installation again 😞

@najibghadri
Sorry for coming back late on this. According to the updated document, firebase_analytics isn't completely supported on Android for dart-only initialization and hence the same has been reflected in the PR: https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/cli/#usage

[Joldersman]

Now solution is initialize app manually for Android
https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/manual-installation/android
& iOS with Dart Only

like that:
import 'dart:io';

Platform.isAndroid
? await Firebase.initializeApp()
: await Firebase.initializeApp(
options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform,
);

Hope it help.
