Firebase Analytics google_analytics_automatic_screen_reporting_enabled not working

See original GitHub issue

Environment

Android Studio version: 4.1.1
Firebase Component: Analytics
Component version: 18.0.0 ( using bom:26.1.0)

Steps to reproduce:

I added meta-data google_analytics_automatic_screen_reporting_enabled to false in AndroidManifest.xml to disable screen view event. Yesterday screen_view was not sent as I expected but today with the same codebase, it’s keep sending screen_view event. I checked on logcat using adb logcat -v time -s FA FA-SVC) as well as DebugView.

Relevant Code:

<meta-data
            android:name="google_analytics_automatic_screen_reporting_enabled"
            android:value="false" />

Hello to all,

The new version of Firebase Bom: 28.0.1 containing the Firebase Analytics: 19.0.0.0 version correctly disables the automatic screen_view event that we want to remove.

Here is the data collection for the last 30 min:

As you can see the event is from the custom app. The event that I collect is page view with the parameters that I want

Here are all the events that have been launched and not the screen_view one 😃

It seems to depend on particular device or system version.

I created a simple Android TV app that lets you test if automatic screen reporting is disabled: https://github.com/piotr767/firebase-analytics-test. You just need to paste the google-services.json for your Firebase project.

When I run it on Android TV emulator with API 28 image it works correctly (no automatic screen events are reported) but when I run it on my physical Android TV device with API 28 it doesn’t work (all screen events are reported). I saw it working correctly on my physical device about a month ago though.

@eburley are there any system settings / configs that can affect this option?
