Step 2: Integrate Google Analytics

Now that you've linked your Ads account, you can begin integrating the Google Analytics for Firebase SDK.

Integrate the Google Analytics for Firebase SDK

Integrate with the latest Google Analytics for Firebase SDK version.

Use Cocoapods

If your app uses Cocoapods, verify your project's Podfile contains the GoogleAppAdsOnDeviceConversion pod, through either the main FirebaseAnalytics pod or by including it explicitly as a standalone pod:

pod 'FirebaseAnalytics' # includes GoogleAdsOnDeviceConversion

or

pod 'FirebaseAnalytics/Core'
pod 'GoogleAdsOnDeviceConversion'

Then, run the commands pod repo update and pod install.

Use Swift Package Manager

If your app uses Swift Package Manager, follow the steps at Swift Package Manager for Firebase. When you reach the step "Choose the Firebase libraries that you want include in your app", check FirebaseAnalytics before continuing to the next steps. Alternatively, check FirebaseAnalytics/Core and GoogleAdsOnDeviceConversion.

Alternative integration

If your app does not use Cocoapods or Swift Package Manager, integrate as follows:

1. Download the public zip file of Firebase from the firebase-ios-sdk GitHub repo.
2. Follow the README instructions from the public zip file to add the frameworks to the project directly. Be sure to add the frameworks from the FirebaseAnalyticsdirectory.
3. In Xcode, add the -ObjC and -lc++ flags to Other Linker Settings in your app target's build settings.

Enable debug mode (optional)

Enable debug mode by adding -FIRDebugEnabled under Arguments Passed on Launch in Xcode's scheme editor.

Upon launching the app in Xcode, verify that a message like the following appears in the Xcode debug console:

[Firebase/Analytics][I-ACS023007] Analytics v.X.X.X started
...
[Firebase/Analytics][I-ACS023009] Debug logging enabled
...
[FirebaseAnalytics][I-ACS023278] Conversion service GoogleAdsOnDeviceConversion framework is linked

Wait around 15 seconds and verify that the _psmvalue_gads message appears in the Xcode debug console:

[FirebaseAnalytics][I-ACS023087] User property set. Name, value: _psmvalue_gads, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
