Is Firebase now mandatory for use of Google Analyt

问题:

Is Firebase now required for setting up Google Analytics for Mobile? In the past, when I've setup Google Analytics for Mobile, I've selected "Mobile" from the Create New Property view and gotten the standard Analytics key (e.g., "UA-BLAHBLAH-BL"). However, when I went to setup a new property today, that is not what is happening. Instead, I am seeing this:

It appears that there is now no way to use the traditional Google Analytics SDK for new properties using the analytics key of olde.

Am I correct in this deduction? Or is there some other way to setup a new Mobile property with an analytics key of the past that I have missed?

Google have published instructions on how to set up a new mobile property using the Google Analytics Services SDK.

You can find them in Google Support, Analytics Help as Analytics for mobile apps.
