Firebase Analytics is Google’s new analytics offering intended as a replacement for Google Analytics on mobile. “At the heart of Firebase is Google Analytics for Firebase, a free and unlimited analytics solution. Analytics integrates across Firebase features and provides you with unlimited reporting for up to 500 distinct events that you can define using the Firebase SDK. Analytics reports help you understand clearly how your users behave, which enables you to make informed decisions regarding app marketing and performance optimizations.” ([official docs](https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics)) ASSET PORTAL: [https://www.defold.com/community/projects/145904/](https://www.defold.com/community/projects/145904/) GITHUB: [GitHub - defold/extension-firebase-analytics: Google Firebase Analytics extension for the Defold game engine · GitHub](https://github.com/defold/extension-firebase-analytics) A special thanks to @AGulev who took over the work of finishing this extension and making it available to the community! ---

Firebase Analytics has been updated to newer versions for both iOS and Android. The new version uses: - Firebase C++ SDK 6.16.0 - iOS SDK 6.34.0 Latest version is available here: [Release Firebase Analytics 1.4.1 · defold/extension-firebase-analytics · GitHub](https://github.com/defold/extension-firebase-analytics/releases/tag/1.4.1) Manual: [Defold Firebase Analytics documentation](https://defold.com/extension-firebase-analytics/) A big thank you to @AGulev for doing the update! ---

I’m seeing problems this morning to build my project, I didn’t do ANY modification since yesterday. I have the firebase extension and I’m seeing the following error: ![image](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/a/0/a05e2be40e00fe9fffbcd15c649c8a21d428db47.png) Is there any possibility this could be related to the update of the firebase extension? If not, I’ll happily delete my message so it doesn’t pollute the thread 😃 Thanks ---

Replacing with actual version numbers is definitely the way to go, in order to prevent issues like the one you have now. To “go back” to the version you had, you would have to use the previous release: [https://github.com/defold/extension-firebase-analytics/archive/1.3.2.zip](https://github.com/defold/extension-firebase-analytics/archive/1.3.2.zip) from 2020/02/06 ---

> [@Lex](#): > > I’m seeing problems this morning to build my project, I didn’t do ANY modification since yesterday. We updated the Firebase extension today so there’s likely some conflict with another extension. My guess would be either Facebook or AdMob. Oh, I see now, it mentions AndroidX. That won’t work as you probably have a mix of Android libraries using the new AndroidX and the old Android Support lib. We have in our roadmap to add support for the jetifier tool to auto-convert dependencies to AndroidX. ---

I’ve just checked and this is conflict with facebook extension (maybe with admob as well, but I don’t have access to this extension) ---

OK this is getting a bit weird, I can’t bundle my app anymore (Android). Even after removing all my dependencies from the project (and deleting the .internal folder), I still get the following message when bundling: ![image](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/b/6/b60b27d0a93adafed95a3d4cd01ea42e2c22582c.png) Is there any other folder I need to delete to clear my project and be able to compile? ---

The Firebase Analytics extension has been updated to Firebase C++ SDK 7.3.0. The extension has also been restructured to make it easier to add more Firebase integrations in Defold.

I’m attempting to call firebase.analytics.get\_id() like so: ``` firebase.analytics.get_id(function(fid) print("fid is " .. type(fid)) print(fid) end) ``` and was expecting a string but the output was in fact this: ``` DEBUG:SCRIPT: fid is userdata DEBUG:SCRIPT: Script: 0x7b3d78c700 ``` Am I doing something clearly wrong? ---
