Crash Reporting exits beta and now shows Firebase Analytics event data in crash logs. Test Lab for Android adds 11 new device models and a free tier on the Spark plan (5 physical, 10 virtual tests per day). Firebase Analytics gains real-time conversion event uploads, real-time BigQuery export, and a DebugView in limited availability, plus a preview of an upcoming StreamView feature. A new Unity plugin and expanded C++ SDK support game developers, and FirebaseUI reaches v1.0 with a drop-in Auth UI flow and Realtime Database join/intersection support. A new Udacity course and demo app were also introduced. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What free tier testing does Firebase Test Lab offer for Android developers? Firebase Test Lab's free Spark service tier allows developers to run five tests per day on physical devices and ten tests per day on virtual devices, with no credit card required. The update also added 11 new popular Android device models to the available test device catalog, letting developers validate apps across more hardware configurations before release. _Developers evaluating device testing options can track Firebase Test Lab updates on daily.dev._ ### Is Firebase Crash Reporting still in beta? No, Firebase Crash Reporting exited beta and became generally available for both iOS and Android apps. It now displays Firebase Analytics event data alongside each crash, showing screens visited and custom logged events leading up to an error, without requiring extra instrumentation code. _Teams weighing crash monitoring tools can follow Firebase Crash Reporting changes on daily.dev._ ### Does Firebase support Unity game development? Yes, Firebase released a dedicated Unity plugin supporting Analytics, the Realtime Database, Authentication, Dynamic Links, Remote Config, and Notifications. The C++ SDK was also expanded to include Realtime Database support, extending Firebase's reach into game development workflows beyond mobile app SDKs. _Game developers comparing backend platforms can keep up with Firebase's Unity support on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#testing](https://daily.dev/tags/testing), [#mobile](https://daily.dev/tags/mobile), [#firebase](https://daily.dev/tags/firebase) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/live-from-the-firebase-dev-summit-in-berlin-firebase-six-months-after-i-nlyiazdco) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Live from the Firebase Dev Summit in Berlin: Firebase, six months after I","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/live-from-the-firebase-dev-summit-in-berlin-firebase-six-months-after-i-nlyiazdco","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/live-from-the-firebase-dev-summit-in-berlin-firebase-six-months-after-i-nlyiazdco"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:21:01.619Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:35:42.823Z","description":"Firebase announced a batch of updates at its Dev Summit in Berlin, six months after expanding into a unified app platform at Google I/O.
