Firebase Console DebugView in Analytics is not showing Predefined and Custom Events

[Omizollo]

:fire:

Issue

I'm using React Native Firebase only for Firebase Analytics, but I'm not able to see any Predefined and Custom events in Debug View in Firebase Console. I'm already run the adb command (adb shell setprop debug.firebase.analytics.app package_name). I'm seeing only automatic events like session_start and secreen_view.

After waiting long hours I could see my events in the Events tab at Firebase Console, which tells me that my implementation is working.

did you use 'package_name' as you say, or did you substitute 'com.safrapaymerchantapp' so that it actually targets your app? What did adb logcat tell you while you were using the app with debug mode on?

It works when I do it (but using my package name, of course)

[Omizollo]

I replaced 'package_name' for 'com.xxxx'.

adb logcat output:

Images are terrible debugging devices unless you are debugging an actual layout problem. Please post text. 'FA' is short for Firebase Analytics and it will give you all sorts of information as the app is starting up. You only have one line?

[Omizollo]

This 'FA' happens when my event is triggered.

Any update about this issue?

Hello any updates ?

[mikehardy]

@safweb89 just a notification from you, do you have anything interesting for us on this closed issue?

[tristangrichard]

I had problems with events and devices not showing up in the Firebase Debug View.

Found out that my pi-hole on my network was eating all the events. So if if you have any kind of ad blocker on your network, disable it and try again.

Hope it helps.

[Raman-3r]

adb shell setprop debug.firebase.analytics.app "your.app.package.name" i run this command to connect devices but its does not show devices in debug view in firebase analytics

[mikehardy]

That has happened to me before when I was blocking google analytics at the network level. You can also use adb logcat and I think it will make logcat entries as it attempts to contact the analytics server. There may be other reasons though, I'm not sure - I know I have done this for local testing around December 2021 and saw it working personally at least, so keep poking around at it and you should be able to get it to work.

Thanks Brother mikehardy

adb shell setprop debug.firebase.analytics.app YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME

[technodwarf]

Hey friends, for anyone who still haven't found the solution - check if your device's date and time is correct. Mine was one day in the future, and once i fixed it events started showing in the debugview. Hope i could help someone.

For iOS this is what we run to see analytics

xcrun simctl launch "SIMULATOR ID" (DDDDDDDD-1111-1111-B93E-C38BAFEEDBB8) "BUNDLEIdentifier" (com.example.app) FIRAnalyticsDebugEnabled

[PauloMNogueira]

Hello,

I'm experiencing the same issue where some events are displayed while others are not. However, when I search for these events on the Real-Time Analytics page, I'm able to find them.
