What's different between pod 'GoogleAnalytics' and pod 'Firebase/Analytics'?

I want to add Firebase Cloud messaging to a project. As the guideline in https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/client I need to add to Podfile:

# Add the Firebase pod for Google Analytics
pod 'Firebase/Analytics'

# Add the pod for Firebase Cloud Messaging
pod 'Firebase/Messaging'

But I see in the project already has

pod 'GoogleAnalytics'

So should I keep both pod 'GoogleAnalytics' and pod 'Firebase/Analytics' or just keep pod 'GoogleAnalytics'? What is the difference between them?

Solution

  • Firebase products including Cloud Messaging integrate with Firebase/Analytics. The GoogleAnalytics pod pre-dates Firebase and is not integrated.

    (Understood that the naming is confusing.)
