I followed the setup steps mentioned in Firebase docs in order to setup Firebase in my android app:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup
However, after monitoring the outgoing http connections using Charles, I found the following URLs being accessed:
https://ssl.google-analytics.com
So my questions are:
-
Which of these URLs are used for Firebase analytics (I have read that Firebase analytics automatically collects information without doing any explicit call to Firebase analytics api)?
-
Is there any possibility to turn off sending information to Firebase? so I can control exactly the sent information for user privacy requirements? I have read in the documentation that it is possible to de-activate analytics by setting “firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated” to true:
https://firebase.google.com/support/guides/disable-analytics
So does setting this flag to true prevents automatic upload of data?
-
Google Analytics for Firebase uploads events to https://app-measurement.com/a
-
Setting that flag prevents uploading of all events (whether automatically or manually logged).
