Firebase iOS Debug Console not logging anything - ios

Question

I have setup firebase in both the console and in the app. Everything configures correctly, and events appear to be logging in the app.
Output to console:
<FIRAnalytics/DEBUG> Logging event: origin, name, params: app,
log_something, {
"_o" = app;
"full_text" = khbsdpibdsjl;
name = lwkjbgskljsavdkjl;
}
I have the debug flag enabled: -FIRDebugEnabled.
Yet in the debugging events console there is NOTHING. I see no devices available, no events being logged, absolutely 0 indication of anything connected. I must be missing something?
edit: I have been following this for setting up Debugging Events. https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/debugview#enabling_debug_mode
I am seeing events in the StreamView, but nothing in the debug view even though I have debug mode enabled.

Answer 1

Try this , This is work for me ,
Follow below steps ,
1.In Xcode, select Product → Scheme → EditScheme.
2.Select Run from left Menu and Select Arguments tab
In the Arguments Passed on + option
add -FIRDebugEnabled
For detail debug view follow steps DebugView track Firebase doc
To send an event in Xcode project follow code below,
Objective C
[FIRAnalytics logEventWithName:#"share_image"
parameters:#{#"name": name, #"full_text": text}];
Swift
Analytics.logEvent("share_image", parameters: ["name": name, "full_text": text])
For events log follow detail steps Log events in Application Firebase doc
Hope this will help someone.

Answer 2

Make sure to remove the OS_ACTIVITY_MODE:disable from the Environment Variables in your project scheme if you added it at some point.

Answer 3

Make sure to add ONE DASH before -FIRDebugEnabled
I wasted a whole day making silly mistake having missed that DASH
Hope that doesn't happen to others!

Answer 4

Now it doesn't matter much but still for the people who are getting errors on this issue. Debug mode of firebase analytics does not work sometimes due to issue in GoogleServices-Info.plist file
Simply makes these 2 changes.
Set IS_ANALYTICS_ENABLED to YES
Set FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_DEACTIVATE to NO

Answer 5

I also have the same problems.
1 check your Cocopods' s Firebase version.
use pod update Firebase
List item
make sure that is the latest
2 open debug mode
In the Arguments Passed On Launch part
add - FIRDebugEnabled.

Answer 6

I made it possible by writing the following:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, ...) {
// some other initialization
FirebaseApp.configure()
Firebase.Analytics.setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(true)
}

Answer 7

Alternatively you can do that inside your AppDelegate:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil) -> Bool {
var newArguments = ProcessInfo.processInfo.arguments
newArguments.append("-FIRDebugEnabled")
ProcessInfo.processInfo.setValue(newArguments, forKey: "arguments")
}
---EXTRA---
And just some thoughts:
Regarding
Firebase.Analytics.setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(true)
If we inspect the method:
So it's kind of POINTLESS...

Check if you have an ad blocker enabled while visiting the Firebase website.
I had uBlock origin enabled and it would block every page (Dashboard, Events, StreamView, DebugView...) and they'd all be blank.
Everything worked as expected as soon as I whitelisted it.

Answer 9

I recently had an issue where the Xcode console said everything was fine, and all was being logged and sent, and I had the "-FIRDebugEnabled" and I tried all other suggestions in this thread, but nothing worked.
Nothing was being sent to Firebase's DebugView.
Looking through my git-history, I determined the issue occurred due to a pod update, and the solution to my issue was another pod update.
I don't know which pod had failed, but I suspect either Moya, Alamofire or FirebaseAnalytics... after this, I'm strongly considering locking my pod-versions.

Answer 10

I had the same configuration as jaywant-khedkar, but no events or devices were showing up in the Firebase Debug View.
Found out that my pi-hole on my network was eating all the events.
So if if you have any kind of ad blocker on your network, disable it and try again.
Happy debugging!

Answer 11

If you've done everything that the Firebase documentation states, then it could be that you have the wrong "Debug Device" selected in Firebase Analytics' "Debug View". After changing the debug device in the top left, all my analytics events from before were displayed! So it wasn't that my events weren't being sent to Firebase, I was just seeing the wrong view.

Answer 12

Had this issue a few days ago, after trying every solution I found on the internet and none of them working, these are the steps I used to finally enabled DebugView to find my device:
Close the app on the device you’re working on
Go to the Firebase console and sign out of your account
Sign back in again, go to the console and select the project you’re working on.
Again, not sure if this made a difference however do NOT click on DebugView item under the “Project shortcuts” list. Instead, click on the “Analytics” drop-down and select DebugView from there.
It may be possible that this process updates the data stream used in the DebugView page - after following these steps I noticed events which had been missed initially were now showing up - almost as if the event was sent/received properly however the DebugView wasn’t showing the correct data stream.
Bonus tip:
Had issues with this again today, and after signing out/in to Firebase the DebugView still wasn't finding my device. What fixed it was, on my device, move the app into the background i.e. swipe up from the bottom to go to the home screen...
When you re-open the app into the foreground, the DebugView should now start displaying events. I imagine this works because the action of moving the app into the background I believe triggers any saved events on the device to be sent to Firebase, essentially flushing the queue.
