Does firebase app data collection need to be declared in Data Safety Form of Play Console?

Google has recently updated its play console Data Safety Form. It requires filling out the data collected and shared by the app. Is the data collected by the firebase or crashlytics is needed to declared in the Data Safety Form?

For example, Firebase Analytics collects user location. Does the location segment of the Data Safety Form should be filled. Google says in its official document that "check your app’s declared permissions and the APIs that your app uses."

My app has no such permission declared in the menifest file. Should we still declare it because of Firebase Analytics?

At some place in docs, google says "Transferring user data that has been fully anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with an individual user"

Is the Firebase collects crashlytics and analytics anonymously?

My app required no permission and used firebase library for crashlytics, analytics, and push notification. What should I fill in Data Safety Form?

I created an Android Studio plugin that can detect the SDKs in your app and automatically generate the CSV form. It covers all the SDKs listed in the Google Play SDK index (https://play.google.com/sdks) that provides official guidance on how to fill out the data safety section for the SDK.

For more details (tutorials, demo video, team information), please visit the project website: http://matcha-ide.github.io/

And it's now released to the JetBrains plugin marketplace. You can simply search "Matcha" (the plugin name) in your IDE and install it:)
