Hi there, I wanted to raise an issue which I think it’s affecting our capacity of download installations through Google ADS. In particular, I am trying to figure out a way to create a list of App events in Firebase, which as I understood are directly linked to the Google Analytics account (what I want to track, firstly, are App installations). This will allow me to advertise my iOS App through Google ADS. As I understood, if Google ADS doesn’t get any response regarding the conversions (App installations) it doesn’t allow you to proceed with the ads - which I think it’s fair. I think it’s important to say that we need to create a WebApp in Firebase (see Thunkable DOCS for Firebase settings). And here the problem: I tried to follow the path advised from Google Analytics and, under the property tied to my Firebase account, I created a “new stream App per iOS”. I registered my iOS App and then the procedure advices me to include in my App the “GoogleService-Info.plist” file. Then, I need to add the Firebase SDK into my App (which has already been done through the Real-Time Database component). Then the problem - Google services utilize the CocoaPods to manage the dependencies - we should need to create a Podfile and then it will create a “.xcworkspace” file - which we need to open right after this procedure. To allow Firebase to connect to my App I need to add an initialization code following the leading “AppDelegate”. Please find the initialization code below: ![Untitled](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/f/df2f04d8c19816168b87948448b38fdf9a98a0d1.png) Then we need to see if the connection works. Is anyone able to provide a clear explanation on how to integrate this in our Apps? Best, Tommaso ---

Hi there, Is there any update on this? Is it possible to get Google Analytics work with our Apps? Thanks ---

> [@Tommaso](#): > > ossible to get Google Analytics work with our Apps? not at this time. I wish we could get crashlytics or other analytics made available to us. You can create your own activity log using a service like firebase or xano. Have you investigated that route or would it even fit for your neeeds? ---

Thanks Jared. As I understand things Crashlytics is a reporting tool for fixes. Nope, this is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a way to allow Google Ads to count App installations for iOS devices. Do you have any suggestions on how I could do it? Perhaps with the Firebase SDK included in the App? If so, I couldn’t figure out a way to make it work. Any suggestion would be very much appreciated. Thanks! ---
