  3. Select the Home option, where you can see various reports including active users in the past 30 minutes. Give this a few minutes to update, then you should be able to see at least one active device as you are testing it

  4. If no data is showing make sure: 

    1. The Firebase project has been set up correctly

    2. The .plist/.sjon files were uploaded to Fliplet Studio

    3. You are using the latest IPA/APK

Note: It can take up to 1 hour to log any events
