"google_analytics_automatic_screen_reporting_enabled": false not working on iOS

[fdobre]

Setting "google_analytics_automatic_screen_reporting_enabled": false seems to work fine on Android but on iOS automatic screen view logs are still being sent:

    "crashlytics_disable_auto_disabler": true,
    "analytics_auto_collection_enabled": false,

Hmm, I suspect it is this - #6194 (also #6226 and #6203) / PR #6234 - released first time in v14.9.2

Why? Versions appear outdated

    "@react-native-firebase/analytics": "^14.7.0",
    "@react-native-firebase/app": "^14.7.0",
    "@react-native-firebase/crashlytics": "^14.7.0",
    "@react-native-firebase/dynamic-links": "^14.7.0",
    "@react-native-firebase/perf": "^14.7.0",

And macOS version is updated and is missing stock python:

OS: macOS 12.3.1

It's a very unfortunate bug, especially in that it manifests itself in "silent failure" instead of fail-fast, can you check your installed react-native-firebase/app version and see if you have this fix or not?

[fdobre]

Python 3 fix is not there for version 14.7.0:

Content of my lines:

If you think an update to 14.9.4 could fix the issue please let me know.

[fdobre]

It seems there was an issue on my side on iOS. Closed issue since react-native-firebase/analytics google_analytics_automatic_screen_reporting_enabled set to false seems to work as expected on iOS.

[mikehardy]

Glad to hear it's working! Good luck with your project

[omarkhaled11]

I am also facing this issue, even disabling automatic screen_view on the native side in AndroidManifest and iOS info.plist doesn't work. my firebase packages are pretty outdated though "@react-native-firebase/app": "11.4.1"

@fdobre can you please confirm if upgrading the package to 14.9.4 fixed your issue?

[fdobre]

@omarkhaled11 I am still using ^14.7.0 there was a local issue on my side. I haven't tested this in 14.9.4 yet.
