🐛 [Firebase_analytics] Android build has missing google_app_id after Flutter 3.0.0 upgrade

[lloydrichards]

Bug report

Describe the bug
I was really excited after Google IO to implement Flutter 3.0.0 and all the stable FlutterFire plugins but I have to say that these past two weeks have been a bit of a nightmare in confusing/out-of-date documentation and a complete lack of migration guides. My current problem/bug is that when I upgrade Firebase Analytics to just use FlutterFire I get a message during the Android build that it is missing the google_app_id and disables Analytics.

There is no clear guide on how to move from Flutter 2.10.0 / firebase_analytics: ^9.1.2 to Flutter 3.0.1 / firebase_analytics: ^9.1.8 so my first attempt was to remove parts of the Manual integration that were specified in the FutterFire docs before the update to official Firebase docs. I removed the google-service.json and the plugins for analytics, resulting in a dlopen failed: library "libflutter.so" not found error when building. After some StackOverflow I got the app building but now it would show E/FA ( 8840): Missing google_app_id. Firebase Analytics disabled. See https://goo.gl/NAOOOI whenever a Analytic event would be normally sent.

I have since got it the work by re adding all the instruction from the Android getting started page link but as far as I'm reading the Flutter section, this is not the intended behaviour or DX ?

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Working Flutter app with Firebase in v2.10.0
2. Upgrade Flutter to 3.0.1
3. Upgrade Firebase plugins to latest (firebase_analytics: ^9.1.8)
4. Build Android app
5. See dlopen failed: library "libflutter.so" not found
6. Remove Android Manual setup for FlutterFire
7. See E/FA ( 8840): Missing google_app_id. Firebase Analytics disabled. See https://goo.gl/NAOOOI
8. Re add Android setup for Firebase
9. Works (?)

Expected behavior

When the official blog post says how things now have drastically reduced the number of steps it takes to get started, no longer requiring you to open any platform-specific IDEs , you feel a little cheated when you have to spend a whole day sorting this out with your dev team.

Thanks for the report @lloydrichards.

Considering the error you are getting Missing google_app_id. Firebase Analytics disabled., this probably indicates the dart-initialization may not yet support firebase_analytics for Android because there have been similar reports like below:

#8098
#7972
#7866
#7639

https://github.com/firebase/flutterfire/pull/8167/files

So I am guessing you are probably hitting #8098

Let us know if above links helps. If not, we can make this a documentation issue for below scenario you mentioned:

There is no clear guide on how to move from Flutter 2.10.0 / firebase_analytics: ^9.1.2 to Flutter 3.0.1 / firebase_analytics: ^9.1.8 so my first attempt was to remove parts of the Manual integration that were specified in the FutterFire docs before the update to official Firebase docs. I removed the google-service.json and the plugins for analytics, resulting in a dlopen failed: library "libflutter.so" not found error when building. After some StackOverflow I got the app building but now it would show E/FA ( 8840): Missing google_app_id. Firebase Analytics disabled. See https://goo.gl/NAOOOI whenever a Analytic event would be normally sent.

[lloydrichards]

From looking at all the other reports, it seems like it's just the same issue as before with no changes. I understand that analytics was marked with a `?` before to indicate it not being fully supported on Android, but last I saw the plugin table it looked like everything had a tick on it. If nothing has changed since before Google IO then it must be a documentation/marketing issue as I was very much convinced after everything i read and saw at IO that stable releases for flutter fire meant that something had been updated. Maybe there's a good place to let Google/Flutter know that there are some mixed messages?

The only way i have been able to make analytics work for now and stop receiving the Missing google_app_id error message was to manually add the appId value from the static const FirebaseOptions android value found in the lib/firebase_options.dart file in a google_app_id string in a string resource file in android/app/src/main/res/values/string.xml. The string resource looks this: <string name="google_app_id">1:12345:android:abc123</string>

Is there a better workaround for this issue?

[cmoiccool]

In fact it turned out to not be a viable workaround, adding the string value made me start receiving events in the Firebase Analytics DebugView but the app became irresponsive not being able to show the home screen...
I had to remove the strings.xml file to be able to start the app again normally, but of course i stopped receiving the events.

[stsc3000]

Same here, it appears like the new docs fail to mention the fact that analytics does not yet support dart-only initialization.

[Purus]

If dart-only initialization does not work, what is the other way to make it work? any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[russellwheatley]

Hi @lloydrichards, we no longer recommend removing the google-services.json file. When you run flutterfire configure, it will write the service file to your android/app directory.

I am sorry that the documentation wasn't clear, we did migrate from the archived documentation to the firebase.google domain and we made a clean break from the "manual installation" distinction. All you need to do now is run flutterfire configure and the service files for iOS, macOS & android will be written for you.

The problem with dart only initialization is that it was causing some issues with some plugins. As we don't have control over the native Firebase SDKs and their use of the service files, we felt it was safer to write the files to ensure the plugins behaved as intended. Hope this helps.

TL;DR run flutterfire configure.
