Exploring Google Analytics 4 Integration in Mobile Apps sans Firebase
We’re trying to link our Android and iOS apps with Google Analytics 4. All the guides we’ve come across so far talk about going through Firebase. Like this GA4 guide, for example: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9304153#zippy=%2Cios-app-or-android-app
But, here’s the thing! Is it possible to do this without Firebase? Just Google Analytics 4 and our apps. Is that a thing?

As of now, linking your Android and iOS apps directly to Google Analytics 4 (GA4) without Firebase appears to not be possible. Google has integrated Firebase into its data collection methodology for mobile apps, making it an integral part of the process. Firebase is essentially the SDK that links your app to GA4. This means that if you want to use GA4 for your mobile apps analytics, you’ll have to integrate your app with Firebase first. We recommend checking Google’s official documentation regularly for any updates regarding this.

No, it is not possible to use Google Analytics 4 with mobile apps without Firebase. Firebase is at the core of Google’s mobile app analytics solution. Google Analytics 4 (GA4) relies on Firebase for mobile app data collection. Therefore, to use GA4 with your Android or iOS app, you will need to integrate your app with Firebase.
