Google Analytics is shutting down its old mobile tracking stuff:

We want to let you know that in October 2019 we will begin to sunset our Google Analytics for mobile apps reporting and the Google Analytics Services SDK. We are investing our resources in the latest style of app reporting in Google Analytics that works in conjunction with Firebase – Google's integrated app developer platform. As such, the following will take place:

  • Data collection and processing for such properties will stop on October 31, 2019.
  • Reporting access through our UI and API access will remain available for these properties' historical data until January 31, 2020.
  • After our service is fully turned down, these properties will no longer be accessible via our Google Analytics UI or API, and their data will be removed from Google Analytics servers. You will receive further notification when this time nears.
