Disable Firebase in development mode in Android

I am using Firebase in my android project. Wanted to know how to disable it in development mode. All crashes and usage/events are being logged and messing up with actual analytics.

Any better way to disable this in development mode?

To disable crashlytics and analytics

in manifest
<meta-data
   android:name="firebase_crashlytics_collection_enabled"
   android:value="${crashlyticsCollectionEnabled}" />

<meta-data 
   android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_enabled" 
   android:value="${analyticsCollectionEnabled}" />
in gradle
buildTypes {
    debug {
       manifestPlaceholders["crashlyticsCollectionEnabled"] = false
       manifestPlaceholders["analyticsCollectionEnabled"] = false
    }
    
    release {
       manifestPlaceholders["crashlyticsCollectionEnabled"] = true
       manifestPlaceholders["analyticsCollectionEnabled"] = true
    }
}

you can check from Firebase Analytics - Firebase Crashlytics - Inject build variables into the manifest

Since Google Play Services / Firebase 11+, we can programmatically disable the Firebase Crashlytics at runtime.

FirebaseCrashlytics.getInstance().setCrashlyticsCollectionEnabled(false);

To disable Firebase Crashlytics in Debug builds:

FirebaseCrashlytics.getInstance().setCrashlyticsCollectionEnabled(!BuildConfig.DEBUG);

or for better readability:

if(BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
    FirebaseCrashlytics.getInstance().setCrashlyticsCollectionEnabled(false);
}

Checkout https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/configure-data-collection?platform=android

<meta-data android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated" android:value="true" />

To do this automatically add the following line to manifest:

 <meta-data
        android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated"
        android:value="@bool/FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_DEACTIVATED"/>

Set different value of boolean for debug and release in your app/build.gradle

buildTypes {
    debug {
        resValue("bool", "FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_DEACTIVATED", "true")
    }
    release {
        resValue("bool", "FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_DEACTIVATED", "false")
    }
}

    public class MyApp extends Application {
        public static boolean isDebuggable;

        public void onCreate() {
            super.onCreate();
            isDebuggable = (0 != (getApplicationInfo().flags & ApplicationInfo.FLAG_DEBUGGABLE));
            FirebaseCrash.setCrashCollectionEnabled(!isDebuggable);
        }
    }

Add this line to your manifest file while development.

<meta-data android:name="firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated" android:value="true" />

It would be better to separate your dev and prod environments instead of disabling things completely. You have options on how to implement this, so you can choose what suits your team the best. This blog post details your options: https://firebase.googleblog.com/2016/08/organizing-your-firebase-enabled-android-app-builds.html
