FR: FirebaseAnalytics for Catalyst

[kajensen]

Please add Analytics support for Catalyst apps/targets. Thanks!

[paulz]

Is there a way to disable Firebase Analytics for Catalyst build and still use it for iOS?

I am installing firebase via cocoapods:

pod 'Firebase/Analytics'

Any updates here? Need analytics support for Catalyst macOS.

[anatoliykant]

Guys, when can we expect Catalyst support in Analytics from you?
At least approximate dates.

[roarapps]

This will be amazing once catalyst is supported :)

[Annelies1]

When will Catalyst be supported? I see in the code docs section that it is only a matter of a checkbox? Why isn't this released yet?

Development for Catalyst
pod gen {name here}.podspec --local-sources=./ --auto-open --platforms=ios
Check the Mac box in the App-iOS Build Settings
Sign the App in the Settings Signing & Capabilities tab
Click Pods in the Project Manager
Add Signing to the iOS host app and unit test targets
Select the Unit-unit scheme
Run it to build and test

Hi everyone,

I am Mayank, a Product Manager at Firebase and am working closely with the Google Analytics team.

We are currently working on an SDK for Catalyst and wanted to check if folks from this thread would be interested to partner with us to share their feedback on some early SDK builds for Catalyst.

If you are interested, please fill in this form to apply for the Early Access Program - and we will share an NDA & further steps on how to proceed.

Thank you!

Hey, @makuchaku
Thank you for doing this for us.
Could you please show a screenshot of the Firebase admin area where the Google Analytics Property ID is located?

[ryanwilson]

@anatoliykant You can find this by:

1. Go to the Firebase Console
2. Under the "Analytics" heading in the side bar, click "Dashboard"
3. In the top right corner, click the little settings icon:
   
4. See the "Property ID" at the top (second screenshot):

Hi everyone,
Thank you for responding to the form. I have close the EAP form and will reach out to those who cited interest in participating. Cheers!

[CraigST123]

Hi @makuchaku , I know the form is closed, but we'd love a chance to get in early on Analytics for Catalyst--any chance you can add one more? :)

[cerupcat]

@makuchaku have you sent anything out? Haven't received any contact yet; filled out the form when posted.

[makuchaku]

@cerupcat @CraigST123 : apologies for a delayed reply. I've sent an email to both of you.
Cheers!

[CraigST123]

Just signed it on my end, thank you so much @makuchaku !

[cerupcat]

@makuchaku apologies. I'm not seeing an e-mail.

Hi @makuchaku - I'm a little late in getting to this thread, but would be interested in participating in the beta. I'm porting my app (WorshipStorm Projector) to macOS using Catalyst. Might I also be included? - the form is now closed :(

[appfrilans]

I'm also interested @makuchaku for next batch of beta testers!

[tfonfara]

@makuchaku Same here :)

[Quimoune]

@makuchaku I'm a bit late too.. I tried today to make my iOS app compatible with Mac Catalyst and I've got some issues..
Tell me if I can apply for a beta SDK ?
Thanks !

[lukemmtt]

@makuchaku, I am interested in the beta if possible, thanks!

[nicholascooper]

@makuchaku Same here

[TonyVie]

@makuchaku Would like to be in too ;)

[ievgenmukhin]

Hi @makuchaku, we are porting our app to mac Catalyst and would like to participate in beta.

[yosi199]

Same here. Would love to join the beta

[imWildCat]

@makuchaku could I join the beta? The form closed:

The form Interest Form : Catalyst SDK is no longer accepting responses.

[skaldic]

Any progress on this issue ? Thanks a lot for fixing it.

[tudor133]

Hey guys, any progress on this issue? Or any updates? Thank you

[mfmansueli]

Hello @makuchaku , I'd love a chance to get in early on Analytics for Catalyst. Can you add one more? =)

[parachutemind]

Ditto. When will FirebaseAnalytics.xcframework include a ios-arm64_x86_64-maccatalyst FirebaseAnalytics binary?

[waynemock]

I'd like to get into the beta as well if release is not imminent.

[deepakgw]

@makuchaku - Hope you're doing great. Do you have any timeline on when Firebase Analytics will start working for MAC Catalyst Apps?

[patskovn]

I am also interested in beta testing of FirebaseAnalytics from Catalyst. If you still can provide early access, I am willing to test!
Thanks!

[MIMNSI]

I'm working on a Mac Catalyst app too and would like to be a part of the beta tests if you conduct them in future. Thank you!

[lucianthorr]

Any news on this topic?

[gbevin]

We're working on a Mac Catalyst app for which we're using Firebase Analytics. We'd love Catalyst support and do testing in early access if that's still a possibility. Thank you!

[KrisConrad]

Did not express interest in the beta because I didn't know Catalyst support was going to be closed beta for a year. Any word on when we can expect this as a public release?

[ryanwilson]

Thanks for the inquiries folks, we're working hard on this and I hope to be able to update this thread soon with more information. Stay tuned, and thanks for everyone's patience.

[neobeppe]

I'm already a firebase alpha user, any chance to get access to catalyst beta for firebase analytics?

[paulb777]

Firebase 8.9.0 introduces official beta support for Catalyst, including Firebase Analytics. Beta support for macOS and tvOS is also introduced. watchOS continues to be community supported.

See details about the support matrix here.

It took longer than we hoped and we appreciate your patience.

I’m going to lock this issue here. Please follow up with any questions or issues in separate reports.
