Completely disable Firebase/Analytics to stop console spam on app startup

To the best of my knowledge, these two lines:

[[FIRConfiguration sharedInstance] setLoggerLevel:FIRLoggerLevelMin];
[[FIRAnalyticsConfiguration sharedInstance] setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled:NO];

placed very early in the app delegate's didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: will completely disable FireBase analytics, including stopping all the console output.

I've also since discovered that the Google/SignIn cocoapod is deprecated - the recommended one to use is GoogleSignIn (ie. no '/'). If you use GoogleSignIn, then this doesn't have a dependency on Firebase Analytics, so the original problem goes away. Now I have Google Drive support in my app and don't have Firebase Analytics!

Firebase Analytics (iOS): How to deactivate the logging of events when running an app in the Xcode simulator?

Here is what I ended up using:

func isRunningLive() -> Bool {
    #if targetEnvironment(simulator)
    return false
    #else
    let isRunningTestFlightBeta  = (Bundle.main.appStoreReceiptURL?.lastPathComponent == "sandboxReceipt")
    let hasEmbeddedMobileProvision = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "embedded", ofType: "mobileprovision") != nil
    if (isRunningTestFlightBeta || hasEmbeddedMobileProvision) {
        return false
    } else {
        return true
    }
    #endif
}
if isRunningLive() {
    FirebaseApp.configure()
    Analytics.setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(true)
} else {
    FirebaseApp.configure()
    Analytics.setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(false)
}

How to disable/remove FirebaseAnalytics

To disable the collection of data by Firebase Analytics in your app, see the instructions here.

In summary, to disable temporarily, set FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_ENABLED to NO in the GoogleServices-Info.plist file. To disable permanently, set FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_DEACTIVATED to YES in the same plist file.
