> iOS apps currently using the Google Analytics, Flurry, and Firebase SDKs may need to migrate off of them promptly

I don't develop in this space, but... Firebase is considered an analytics/tracking API? What happened?

Firebase includes a wide umbrella of services, which include what used to be Fabric Analytics and Crashlytics. From Apple's perspective, sharing data with these services may count as "sharing data with entities who display third-party ads" since Google owns the service, and Google displays ads. Or maybe not.

Well google bought them years back and while I think main use of firebase is still realtime data and authentication there are more and more people loading firebase analytics as well.

Still I dont understand discussion that these would be banned they are still different binaries for different service allthough for super lazy people there is this one mega binary loading the "whole firebase"
