Should i need to fill the advertising identifier form for firebase analytics?


I got below mail from play store. so we are using firebase sdk for analytics in our app. Could you guys help we need to fill the below form.

New Advertising ID declaration form coming to Console

Starting July, you'll need to tell us in Play Console if your app uses an advertising identifier. This will let us provide helpful feedback if your release is at risk of having an advertising identifier zeroed out. You will not be able to create releases targeting Android 13 until you complete the advertising ID declaration form.

As a reminder, apps that target API level 33 (Android 13) or later and use advertising ID must include the normal permission com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID in their Android Manifest.xml. This will prevent your advertising identifier from zeroing out. If you do not declare the permission in your manifest file, or if you use an SDK that omits the permission from their library manifest, this may impact your advertising and analytics use cases.


Solution

  • I had the same question so I contacted Firebase Support and they replied that Google Analytics for Firebase uses Advertising ID by default. More info: https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/6318039?hl=en
