Switch from Fabric Answers to Google Analytics

iOS Android

Welcome to Google Analytics! Google Analytics provides the same features you had in Fabric and also allows you to integrate your events data with other services in Firebase, such as Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Cloud Messaging.

This page describes how to switch from Fabric Answers to Google Analytics in your migrated app. You can also review answers to our most frequently asked questions.

Note: If you didn’t use Fabric Answers previously in your app, learn how to install and initialize the Analytics SDK for the first time.

Step 1: Add Google Analytics

If you haven’t already, add Google Analytics to your app.

Step 2: Replace Answers events with Analytics events

In your Xcode workspace, replace all calls to Answers events with the Analytics event equivalent. Use the conversion table below to make your changes:

Answers event	Analytics event (Swift)	Analytics event (Objective-C)
logPurchaseWithPrice	AnalyticsEventEcommercePurchase	kFIREventAddToCart
logAddToCartWithPrice	AnalyticsEventAddToCart	kFIREventAddToCart
logStartCheckoutWithPrice	AnalyticsEventBeginCheckout	kFIREventBeginCheckout
logContentViewWithName	AnalyticsEventViewItem	kFIREventViewItem
logSearchWithQuery	AnalyticsEventSearch	kFIREventSearch
logShareWithMethod	AnalyticsEventShare	kFIREventShare
logRating	No direct equivalent	No direct equivalent
logSignUpWithMethod	AnalyticsEventSignUp	kFIREventSignUp
logLoginWithMethod	AnalyticsEventLogin	kFIREventLogin
logInviteWithMethod	No direct equivalent	No direct equivalent
logLevelStart	AnalyticsEventLevelStart	kFIREventLevelStart
logLevelEnd	AnalyticsEventLevelEnd	kFIREventLevelEnd

For example, replace:

Swift

Answers.logShareWithMethod("Twitter",
  contentName: "Answers named #2 in Mobile Analytics",
  contentType: "tweet",
  contentId: "601072000245858305",
  customAttributes: nil)
    

Objective-C

[Answers logShareWithMethod:@"Twitter"
    contentName: @"Answers named #2 in Mobile Analytics",
    contentType: @"tweet",
    contentId: @601072000245858305,
    customAttributes: @{}];
    

with:

Swift

Analytics.logEvent("AnalyticsEventShareWithMethod", parameters: [
  AnalyticsParameterName: "Twitter",
  AnalyticsParameterContentName: "Answers named #2 in Mobile Analytics",
  AnalyticsParameterContentType: "tweet",
  AnalyticsParameterContentId: "601072000245858305",
  AnalyticsParameterCustomAttributes: nil])
    

Objective-C

[FIRAnalytics logEventWithName:@"AnalyticsEventShareWithMethod"
    parameters: @{
        AnalyticsParameterName: @"Twitter",
        AnalyticsParameterContentName: @"Answers named #2 in Mobile Analytics",
        AnalyticsParameterContentType: @"tweet",
        AnalyticsParameterContentId: @601072000245858305,
        AnalyticsParameterCustomAttributes: @{}}];
