title: Firebase Analytics seemingly works perfect, but just won't show up?
body: <p>In a large app which uses Firebase extensively, I'm trying analytics,</p>

  <p><code>-FIRDebugEnabled</code> is set fine.</p>
  
  <p>The date/time on the devices is set correctly.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried all of simulator, tethered device, and even building through to TestFlight.</p>
  
  <p>The needed stuff is in app startup ..</p>
  
  <pre><code>    FirebaseConfiguration.shared.setLoggerLevel(.max)
      FirebaseApp.configure()
      // helps Analytics get going:
      AnalyticsConfiguration.shared().setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(true)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Again, Firebase realtime and database works perfectly throughout.</p>
  
  <p>So using <code>Analytics.logEvent#</code> ...</p>
  
  <p>Note that the items <strong>appear perfectly in Xcode console</strong>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>2018-07-24 08:27:23.868 Blah[7501] &lt;Debug&gt; [Firebase/Analytics][I-ACS023105] Event is
  not subject to real-time event count daily limit. Marking an event as
  real-time. Event name, parameters: select_content, {
          firebase_event_origin (_o) = app;
          firebase_realtime (_r) = 1;
          item_name = tapMyProfile;
          firebase_screen_class (_sc) = Blah.SomeScreen;
          firebase_debug (_dbg) = 1;
          firebase_screen_id (_si) = 8314738347840858914;
          item_id = Blah-tapMyProfile;
          content_type = tapMyProfile;
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or ...</p>
  
  <pre><code>2018-07-24 08:56:12.393306-0500 Blah[7501:135963] [Firebase/Analytics][I-ACS023073] Debug
  mode is enabled. Marking event as debug and real-time. Event name,
  parameters: select_content, {
      firebase_event_origin (_o) = app;
      firebase_screen (_sn) = MyProfile;
      item_name = tapCamera;
      firebase_realtime (_r) = 1;
      firebase_screen_class (_sc) = Blah.OldDevDotScreen;
      firebase_debug (_dbg) = 1;
      firebase_screen_id (_si) = 8314738347840858915;
      item_id = Blah-tapCamera;
      content_type = tapCamera;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Notice <strong>tapMyProfile</strong> or <strong>tapCamera</strong>, one of my custom events from <code>Analytics.logEvent#</code></p>
  
  <p>Analytics as such does seem to be working perfectly:</p>

  <p>so, those numbers update every few hours etc.</p>
  
  <p>Again every item appears perfectly in the Xcode console ..</p>
  
  <p>But no matter what, nothing will show up on the Firebase debug console!</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rmYbv.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rmYbv.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Nothing!</p>
  
  <p>What the hell could the problem be?</p>
  
  <p>(Additionally I have waited a day or more and they don't show up as events either.)</p>
  
  <p>How can it be that just nothing is showing up in Debug???</p>
