linking Admob with Firebase Analytics

Solar2D Monetization (in-app purchases, ads, etc.)

Hello,

I am using Admob Plugin in my Solitaire game and It is giving me Ads perfectly.

I am using Firebase Analytics plugin in the same game which is working good for Analytics.

Now issue is I have read in the following links that we can link Admob with Firebase for better Analytics and Firebase will record all revenue data too.

Here are the links: 

1: https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/6387949?hl=en

2: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6383165?hl=en

4: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40487410/admob-and-firebase/44587464#44587464

When i tried this it is showing me status as Lined in my admob app page but unfortunately Firebase is unable to record any data that is coming from Admob.

Can you please help me how to do this, I read for Android Beta there is some build.gradle where we define dependencies, is it something that i am missing in Corona code.

Please Please Please help me or just say its not possible so i cannot waste my time on this thing.

Thanks in Advance,

The Corona AdMob plugin is using the standard Google libraries for AdMob and not Firebase AdMob which I suspect might be the reason. We currently do not have a Firebase AdMob plugin. It may change in the future however there is no ETA for such a plugin.

Hello Ingemar,

Thanks for the reply,

So does this mean I cannot do that thing right now what i am looking for?

Does Corona has got requests for this plugin from users so i can also upvote this feature.

Thanks again

Hi!

The linking works now! The Firebase support told me, that Firebase Analytics 4.0 is required for logging AdMob events. So Scott updated the Firebase Analytics plugin to a new version and it’s working now for iOS (you will have a delay >24h until you see the AdMob data in Firebase Analytics). I did not test Android yet but I guess it will not work on Android, because the feature is still in beta for Android and requires a beta version of the SDK.

Best regards,
