Does Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics Work in China?


What is Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics?

Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics are tools for tracking user behavior and monitoring app stability. Analytics offers anonymous event tracking, helping developers understand how users interact with their app. Crashlytics provides real-time crash reports and diagnostics, helping teams fix issues efficiently and improve app quality.

Is Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics Available in China?

Due to their reliance on Google servers, Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics face serious limitations in China. Data sent to Google endpoints may be blocked by the Great Firewall, delayed, or never received, making tracking and debugging unreliable. Additionally, China’s strict data protection laws, including PIPL, prohibit sending personal data overseas without proper authorisation, putting developers at risk of non-compliance.
