Firebase Analytics setScreenName not working

[TdoubleG]

Bug report

Current behavior:

Hello, I'm experiencing some issues while collecting analytical data.
I'm using Ionic v5.x

When calling this.firebaseX.setScreenName('AnyScreenName') following error appears in Xcode console

[Firebase/Analytics][I-ACS031000] Ignoring call to setScreenName:screenClass:. Screen reporting is disabled.

Analytics Collection is enabled. I can't even see the reporting in google analytics nor in firebase.

Expected behavior:

The screen reporting should collect information and show in google analytics and firebase

Steps to reproduce:

Install the plugin, write the code to set the screen name, build for ios, watch the xcode console output

Had a look at this and - as stated in this SO answer - and I've confirmed this empirically - setting FirebaseScreenReportingEnabled=false in the app plist (which is what setting the plugin variable FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_ENABLED=false does) permanently disables screen reporting in the build - both automatic and manual.

However, with some testing, I've discovered that even if FirebaseScreenReportingEnabled=true, if FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_ENABLED=false is set in the Google plist, then screen events are not sent. So I'll remove the setting of FirebaseScreenReportingEnabled since it is not necessary.
