React-native-firebase: [🐛]🔥 My app stopped collecting info after migrating to new crashlytics SDK (iOS only)

[JulioOrellana]

Issue

After upgrading the entire suite of firebase to latest version, because I had a warning about my current crashlytics sdk was out of date and I will stop receiving crash reports after Nov 15. But after upgrading to latest firebase version 10.1.0 on iOS (only), my app stopped collecting data. I am on version 2.23.5 but dashboard says I am on 2.23.3 (image 1).

I tried everything on this issues:

https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/4229
https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/4589

I stopped receiving crash updates on iOS too. The only crash updates I received are the one I do manually but I have nothing in production (2.23.5), I should have more than 32 events really.

I upgraded firebase suite from:

"@react-native-firebase/app": "6.7.1"
"@react-native-firebase/crashlytics": "6.7.1"
"@react-native-firebase/database": "6.7.1"
"@react-native-firebase/messaging": "6.7.1"

to

"@react-native-firebase/app": "^10.1.0"
"@react-native-firebase/crashlytics": "^10.1.0"
"@react-native-firebase/database": "^10.1.0"
"@react-native-firebase/messaging": "^10.1.0"
"@react-native-firebase/analytics": "^10.1.1" // <- also included

I tried also deleting /Pods and Podfile.lock, reinstalling everything but nothing happens.
I did also install @react-native-firebase/analytics to track events with:

await FirebaseAnalytics().logEvent('test_tracking_dev', {
  userId: 3595,
  message: 'custom event press on purple button',
});

But I am not receving the test_tracking_dev event:

Is there anything I need to migrate from old firebase SDK to new firebase SDK? Thanks for your time and help 🙏🏽

In general mixing and matching the versions is no longer a good idea - I switched this repo to an "all one version" style, so all versions should be in lockstep now - I don't believe that will affect you with analytics only on v10.1.1, but it is worth noting

With regard to events showing up or not, this comment is informative (how to turn on analytics debugging) and interesting (limitations on the event showing up in the web console) https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/4424#issuecomment-729968226

Dynamic links + analytics, not great: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/4554#issuecomment-733615843

I am having trouble finding it now but there was some other related issue about event automatic collection right now but I'm not sure where it is, sorry.

My best advice - which still may not fix things - is to override your firebase-ios-sdk to v7.2.0 (current as of now) and try again

Second best advice, assuming that you still have problems, is to turn on the firebase-ios-sdk analytics debugging and crashlytics debugging - there are flags for each - and test it in release mode on a real device built and running the app from Xcode while you watch the output in Xcode. Those logs are usually quite illuminating

[JulioOrellana]

Thanks @mikehardy for your answer. The main problem right now are crashlytics events not being registered and latest version not being detected either. What log should I check to verify that I will be receiving at least my app latest version? (for Latest Release tab in firebase)

I will change to version 7.2.0 to test, if anything else fails I will downgrade everything except crashlytics.

Thanks again!

[mikehardy]

I don't think the latest version shows up until fresh crashes go through
I'd focus on enabling the debugging flags and checking a build locally

[sagarguhe]

I have enabled the debug flags in firebase.json and crashed the app many time but no success, I also have uploaded dsym file manually. Issue is not there on android.

This is stale at this point, we never reproduced it as repo maintainers. Test crashes do work in release mode on real devices pretty much every time if you wait a while and have dSYMs uploaded.

There are a variety of reasons they don't work in debug for some people, all effectively user error: they won't work if debug crashes are disabled, they won't work if a debugger is connected, they won't work if dSYMs aren't uploaded (which they frequently aren't for debug) etc etc.
