Using Firebase Analytics with SwiftUI

Question

I recently installed Firebase Analytics in my SwiftUI app. Everything works great except the automatic screen views. Am I obligated to call AnalyticsEventScreenView for every view I would like to track?

Answer 1

Yes - due to the way SwiftUI views are structured, Analytics only sees NotifyingMulticolumnSplitViewController.

You'll have to send screen views manually (as stated in the docs), like this:

import SwiftUI
import Firebase

struct ContentView: View {
  var body: some View {
    NavigationView {
      List {
        NavigationLink(destination: OneView()) {
          Text("One")
        }
        NavigationLink(destination: TwoView()) {
          Text("Two")
        }
      }
      .navigationTitle("Choose a screen")
      .onAppear() {
        Analytics.logEvent(AnalyticsEventScreenView,
                           parameters: [AnalyticsParameterScreenName: "\(ContentView.self)",
                                        AnalyticsParameterScreenClass: "\(ContentView.self)"])
      }
    }
  }
}

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
  static var previews: some View {
    ContentView()
  }
}

import SwiftUI
import Firebase

struct OneView: View {
  var body: some View {
    Text("1")
      .onAppear() {
        Analytics.logEvent(AnalyticsEventScreenView,
                           parameters: [AnalyticsParameterScreenName: "\(OneView.self)",
                                        AnalyticsParameterScreenClass: "\(OneView.self)"])
      }
  }
}

struct OneView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
  static var previews: some View {
    OneView()
  }
}
