Hi there, how can I get ga_session_id and ga_session_number

What feature would you like to see?

I want to get ga_session_id and ga_session_number for each event in Android/iOS client. How can I get these values?

How would you use it?

We are trying to align the number of user sessions between Segment and Google Analytics. Google Analytics is calculating session using ga_session_id and ga_session_number parameter having these parameters helps DE align the number of user sessions it should be retrievable from firebase SDK.

So we will add ga_session_id and ga_session_number we track any event, and send it both to analytics, segment… After that, we can easily analyze.

It would be an extremely useful resource for us to use Measurement Protocol V2 (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/ga4) in its full capabilities.

Missing session_id and session_number makes using Measurement Protocol V2 useless for apps.

Exposing the session_id and session_number would be a way to tie in and maintain session continuity.

Another use case is apps that navigate to the web version in the browser. Currently we are unable to tie the user session (app -> web).

If there was the possibility of recovering session_id and session_number, it would be possible to perform this binding.

Please give this a special attention.
