If you are already using firebase, why not continue in the Google environment and use Firebase Analytics? https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics
I use firebase for Cloud Functions, Firebase Analytics seems to not be relevant for Expo projects, as it requires native iOS to work
I suggest to eject from Expo if your app still in early development stage. Expo has lots of limitations when it's comes to third-party services intergration
Hi Julien!
I came across your profile and wanted to discuss a potential proposition with you based on a mutual fit.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

My little solution that links Desktop software or IOS apps with Google Analytics is here:

Assuming you can include a .framework from EXPO, the IOS example is here:

Hey @ibelick, I'm writing a book on this.
The short answer is that my recommended stack is Google Analytics + Mixpanel, fed by Segment. That will work with React Native.
The book explains why I made those choices, provides setup guides, and also shows you what events you should track, in prioritized order.
Why me? I've spent the last 8 years in the analytics industry, building scalable, billion-dollar analytics for PlayStation, Rakuten, and a chunk of the Fortune 500.

Amplitude is great and works with Expo very well https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/amplitude/
You can use Segment, Keen (https://keen.io/) or something like a Microsoft AppCenter or implement a feature flag system to understand user behavior like https://upstamps.com (coming soon)

thank you, I'll check it out :)
