React Native Firebase Analytics connects our mobile application to Google Analytics through Firebase. It's a great way to get real-time tracking on what's happening inside our application to capture how it is being used and if there are any bugs.

In this part, we use the @react-native-firebase package to get our analytics up and running for both iOS and Android in React Native. We cover a few topics including:

Installing @react-native-firebase/anlaytics
Setting it up for Android and iOS
Accessing Firebase Analytics Console to see real-time statistics
Accessing Google Analytics through Firebase for more statistics
Creating custom event logging using commands like logEvent
Setting tracking on userID with the analytics functions
Capturing more detailed properties against users for later use

This video is a series about learning to use Firebase with React Native. In order to do this step, you will need to have completed the previous video found here:
Youtube: React Native Firebase Installation

For those who already have react native firebase installed, the analytics package can be added quite quickly by only running three simple commands:

# Install & setup the app module
yarn add @react-native-firebase/app

# Install the analytics module
yarn add @react-native-firebase/analytics

# If you're developing your app using iOS, run this command
cd ios/ && pod install

Here is a preview of what you will end up seeing in Firebase Analytics:
