I have an android app where I have been using Google Analytics V4, which does not require any library, but is a part of Google Play services V4.3 and later.

So I was porting my app to the Amazon App Store, and Amazon devices won't have Google Play installed. So will Google Analytics work with it?

Here's an answer to this question on the Amazon forum (copied relevant section from forum below)

Google Analytics is now dependent on Google play service that is not available in Fire OS. I would encourage you to integrate our Anaytics SDK in your app. Please check out the below documentation. https://developer.amazon.com/public/apis/manage/analytics

    The [changelog for Google Analytics](https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/changelog#changelog) mentions that `This does not require devices to have Google Play Services installed. When Google Play Services is not available the SDK will automatically fall back to local dispatching.` Shouldn't that mean that `v4` should work with `Fire OS`? – theblang Apr 29 '15 at 18:48

    It also mentions that Google Play services are not required in the documentation: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android/v4/ I have not tried this out yet though. – Clive Jefferies Jul 13 '15 at 15:33
