Firebase automatic screen reporting is enabled in xcode log

Question

Is the following message when my app loads have any cause for concern. If I disabled FirebaseAutomaticScreenReportingEnabled does that have any consequence? Not much info about this online.

Firebase automatic screen reporting is enabled. Call +[FIRAnalytics setScreenName:setScreenClass:] to set the screen name or override the default screen class name. To disable automatic screen reporting, set the flag FirebaseAutomaticScreenReportingEnabled to NO in the Info.plist

Solution 1

No concern; yes, is used for analytics (bolding mine):

Sets the current screen name, which specifies the current visual context in your app. This helps identify the areas in your app where users spend their time and how they interact with your app.

FIRAnalytics +setScreenName:screenClass:

Solution 2

Set a new key-value pair on info.plist FirebaseScreenReportingEnabled = NO.

More information follow the below picture

Solution 3

Knowing which screen the user is on, helps identify the areas in your app where users spend their time and how they interact with your app.

If you disable automatic screen reporting, the Firebase Analytics reports will not automatically show the screen the user is on anymore. You can still call the setScreenName:screenClass: method to report the screen that the user is on.

So this is just for analytics reporting? Can be ignored?

Yes, it can be ignored by setting FirebaseScreenReportingEnable to false in Info.plist of your app.

That didn't works for me. Maybe something extra to do?

@CGN what worked for you? I'm also having same issue. plist entry is not solving this issue. I'm using Xcode 11.1 and XS device running on iOS 13.1.2.

@user1947894: By setting FirebaseScreenReportingEnabled = NO in the info.plist (like shown in the screenshot above) I was able to turn off the screen reporting by Firebase. That's what was working for me. Hope, that helps you.
