Set Google Analytics - Firebase | iOS

Google Analytics is a free app measurement solution that provides insight on app usage and user engagement.
At the heart of Firebase is Google Analytics. Analytics reports help you understand clearly how your users behave, which enables you to make informed decisions regarding app marketing and performance optimizations.
The SDK automatically captures a number of events. Once the data is captured, it's available in a dashboard through the Firebase console . 

Mandatory requirement: To be able to use Google Analytics on your GoodBarber iOS native version, you must have already built your iOS app by following the review process , only once this is done you'll be able to use Google Analytics.

We recommend to use the same project Firebase  than the one used for your Android native app, that way you have all informations on the same Firebase project.
