SDKBOX 2.3.15 Release - Firebase

yinjimmy · July 9, 2017, 4:51pm

AHA, which cocos version?

energyy · July 9, 2017, 5:23pm

3.14.1 - acctually failed to patch file AppDelegate.cpp not big issue - as it is clear what u need to do to make it work there(probably it failed due we have already a lot of code in appdelegate and installed can’t find proper place where to add include/init).

I’m more wondering about this 0:71: execution error: “http://sdkbox-doc.github.io/en/plugins/firebase/v3-cpp/” doesn’t understand the “open location” message

It seems something new - probably browser cant open that url.

One complain I would have regarding bundled google play services - it still have Build tools in gradle 22.0.1 I think everyone already moved after cocos 3.15 to build tools 25.0.0 - so u should change to this one in bundle.

Also I dont see where is debug events? Firebase have debug parameter to see all events live - not sure if u implemented this in your code - can’t find ti so far.

It seems Firebase plugin doesn’t work:( I have all files set, xml added to res/values but no any event showing in dashboard.

Should wait for several hours.

In Firebase c++ SDK? In SDKBox, we provide a native SDK wrapper plugin.
If you want to immediately verify events what are being sent, take a look at

We doc it here.

I reproduce this issue on macOS 10.12.5, but chrome can open the url. It seems an issue (1 2 3) on the latest macOS.

##Update:
Got some tester data
Android:

iOS:

I will try once more - to see what wrong goes here, like Firebase have streamview where u can see realtime events. I was playing with it integrating firebase myself - now I used skdbox with same app and no events comming - there should not be delay in streamview.

So I’m assuming some lib missing or something hapened with config xml file. The only thing I see in console:

07-09 21:27:12.346 11186-11186/? I/FA: App measurement is starting up, version: 9683
07-09 21:27:12.346 11186-11186/? I/FA: To enable debug logging run: adb shell setprop log.tag.FA VERBOSE
07-09 21:27:12.363 11186-11186/? I/FA: To enable faster debug mode event logging run:

This looks strange:

07-10 13:58:17.497 18251-18275/? E/Firebase: setScreenName is not support on android
07-10 13:58:17.499 18251-18275/? D/cocos2d: android SDK version:24
07-10 13:58:17.499 18251-18333/? E/FA: AppMeasurementService not registered/enabled
07-10 13:58:17.499 18251-18333/? E/FA: Uploading is not possible. App measurement disabled

I’m not sure but after multiple tries I’m assuming you didn’t tested your plugin with gradle setup?

In git i see only example for ant and not gradle/android-studio.

After experiments:

Removed from cocos2d-x build.gradle:

compile project(’:gps’)

Added into proj.adnroid-studio: build gradle:

dependencies {
classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3’

     classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
     // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
     // in the individual module build.gradle files
 }

Added into app build.gradle:

apply plugin: ‘com.google.gms.google-services’

deleted from libs folder:
sdkbox-firebase.jar
deleted from res/values/ googelplayservices.xml and added google-services.json to app folder

I successfully compiled project and immediately received debug event.

So I don’t se reason to use conversion from json to xml as it is done automaticly if u attaching google play services thru gradle, your setup is incorrect for gradle…

App measurement disabled?

can you add follow to your manifest

<service android:name="com.google.android.gms.measurement.AppMeasurementService"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="false"/>
        <receiver android:name="com.google.android.gms.measurement.AppMeasurementReceiver"
            android:enabled="true">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.measurement.UPLOAD" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

htlxyz · July 10, 2017, 1:51pm

yep,

this is a way,

use the solution, you replace firebase lib sdkbox provide with firebase gradle lib. (firebase lib in sdkbox is come from firebase gradle, they are same)

energyy · July 10, 2017, 2:00pm

I have added this alreaady - unpacked apk to check if it is still there… it there but doesnt work - could be some conflcit with admob/facebook/google analytics… who knows

htlxyz · July 10, 2017, 2:27pm

I test on -x 3.15.1 android studio, works fine. I’ll try 3.14.1

htlxyz · July 10, 2017, 2:48pm

tried 3.14.1, works fine.

cocos new -l cpp cppTest
replace applicationId with com.sdkbox.test.app.firebase in app/build.gradle
cp googleservices.xml from sdkbox-sample-firebase cpp to ./proj.android-studio/app/res/values/googleservices.xml
modify HelloWorldScene.cpp to invoke firebase logevent function
cocos run -p android --android-studio

energyy · July 10, 2017, 2:53pm

so you getting events in debug mode? Now trying myself hello world 3.15.1

htlxyz · July 10, 2017, 2:56pm

yep

i use this to check the log event:

``
adb shell setprop log.tag.FA VERBOSE
adb shell setprop log.tag.FA-SVC VERBOSE
adb logcat -v time -s FA FA-SVC

energyy · July 10, 2017, 2:58pm

to be sure you see your events in Firebase console?

htlxyz · July 10, 2017, 3:02pm

as firebase official document, https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/android/events#view_events_in_the_android_studio_debug_log

use this can check event immediately.

in firebase console, must wait hours.

energyy · July 10, 2017, 3:08pm

actually no.

To enable Analytics Debug mode on an Android device, execute the following commands:

adb shell setprop debug.firebase.analytics.app <package_name>

This behavior persists until you explicitly disable Debug mode by executing the following command:

adb shell setprop debug.firebase.analytics.app .none.

If u running that first command:
adb shell setprop debug.firebase.analytics.app <package_name>

you should immediately get debug events in Firebase dashboards in DebugView section (as my attached screenshot), by some reason cocos2d-x bundled firebase not sending events there. If I removing sdkbox-firabase and using original everything works imidiatly - Im receiving events in DebugView.

I just installed Hello World 3.15.1 imported firebase and still same issue. There is my log:

07-10 18:02:33.995 V/FA      ( 1699): App package, google app id: com.mygame.test, 1:4534534535:android:5345353533555fa

As this log states - firebase can’t upload data by some reason and it’s seems inside sdkbox jar.

htlxyz · July 10, 2017, 3:14pm

is there same different from my steps?

cocos new -l cpp cppTest
replace applicationId with com.sdkbox.test.app.firebase in app/build.gradle
cp googleservices.xml from sdkbox-sample-firebase cpp to ./proj.android-studio/app/res/values/googleservices.xml
modify HelloWorldScene.cpp to invoke firebase logevent function
cocos run -p android --android-studio

energyy · July 10, 2017, 3:18pm

Just in case there is about debugView:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/debugview

I have exactly same steps like your, only I have my own googleservices.xml and package id.

It would look like this:

1. cocos new -l cpp -p com.mygame.test mygamest
2. cp googleservices.xml (my generated)  to ./proj.android-studio/app/res/values/googleservices.xml
3. sdkbox import firebase
4. modify HelloWorldScene.cpp to invoke firebase logevent function (skdbox already placed code there for init)
5. cocos run -p android --android-studio

I think something is realted to this error:

AppMeasurementService not registered/enabled
07-10 18:02:34.012 E/FA ( 1699): Uploading is not possible. App measurement disabled

Like inside skdbox jar something is missing or wrongly hardcoded and due this debug events not sent to firebase.

htlxyz · July 10, 2017, 3:21pm

can you use

com.sdkbox.test.app.firebase
and
https://github.com/sdkbox/sdkbox-sample-firebase/blob/master/cpp/proj.android/res/values/googleservices.xml
to try

or share your googleservices.xml, application id with me

energyy · July 10, 2017, 3:33pm

I sent my xml.

Was trying your provided, seesm to be same issue:

Also I’m checking what inside sdkbox-firebase.jar and there is Appmeasurment class used which now is depreciated seems: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/android/gms/measurement/AppMeasurement maybe it causing issue?
