Using Firebase Remote Config with disabled Firebase Analytics

When using Firebase Remote Config in an Android app, Firebase Analytics needs to be added as a dependency since Firebase Remote Config depends on it. Because of that, I need to have Firebase Analytics in my build file. But because of GDPR rules, I need to have it disabled in some cases and for some versions of the app.

I am trying to find out if it's possible to use Firebase Remote Config with disabled Firebase Analytics (flag firebase_analytics_collection_deactivated set to true). With Firebase Analytics disabled, will Remote Config still send some data to Firebase servers except Firebase Installation ID specified here? Finally, will I still be able to target users by location and app version in Remote Config?

yes you are still able to use remote config. I just tested it on my side by disabling analytics and changing parameter on remote config.

Also have a look at the documentation

When you build an app that includes both Firebase Remote Config and Google Analytics, you gain the ability to understand your app users better and to respond to their needs more quickly. You can use Analytics audiences and user properties to customize your app for segments of your user base with flexibility and precision.

Warning: To use audiences and user properties with Remote Config, you must enable Google Analytics data sharing for your project. In your app, you'll need to ensure Firebase Analytics is present and data collection is available as well.

https://firebase.google.com/docs/remote-config/config-analytics

So analytics is only an addition and not mandatory for remote config to work :-)
