Firebase Analytics firing multiple times

Question

After working through Firebase's Analytics tutorial to add Analytics I'm able to see the sample code working after adding it to my app. To test it out, I added the analytics event to an IBAction method for when a specific button is tapped. The problem is that when I look at the console with Debug options turned for analytics, it shows the event firing multiple times. Why could this be happening?

Here is the debug console log:

2017-02-22 13:47:12.010901 NotKarltonBanks[1537:425489] <FIRAnalytics/DEBUG> Logging event: origin, name, params: app, select_content, {
    "_o" = app;
    "_sc" = MoreViewController;
    "_si" = "-3358907490504482271";
    "content_type" = button;
    "item_id" = "id-1";
    "item_name" = "Tapped Not Karlton Keyboard Tutorial Button";
}
2017-02-22 13:47:12.012 NotKarltonBanks[1537:] <FIRAnalytics/DEBUG> Logging event: origin, name, params: app, select_content, {
        "_o" = app;
        "_sc" = MoreViewController;
        "_si" = "-3358907490504482271";
        "content_type" = button;
        "item_id" = "id-1";
        "item_name" = "Tapped Not Karlton Keyboard Tutorial Button";
    }

    "_si" = "-3358907490504482271";
    "content_type" = button;
    "item_id" = "id-1";
    "item_name" = "Tapped Not Karlton Keyboard Tutorial Button";
}

        "item_name" = "Tapped Not Karlton Keyboard Tutorial Button";
    }

    "content_type" = button;
    "item_id" = "id-1";
    "item_name" = "Tapped Not Karlton Keyboard Tutorial Button";
}

Here is my code:

- (IBAction)aboutURL:(id)sender {

    [FIRAnalytics logEventWithName:kFIREventSelectContent
                        parameters:@{
                                     kFIRParameterItemID:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"id-1"],
                                     kFIRParameterItemName:@"Tapped Not Karlton Keyboard Tutorial Button",
                                     kFIRParameterContentType:@"button"
                                     }];


    KeyboardTutorialViewController *keyboardTutorialViewController = [[KeyboardTutorialViewController alloc] init];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:keyboardTutorialViewController animated:YES];

}

It looks like XCode 8 is very verbose and it logs the same message twice. You can turn off duplicate logs by using the flag OS_ACTIVITY_MODE = disable.

For reference, to add this: go to Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme, pick Run on the left hand side, go to Arguments tab and add `OS_ACTIVITY_MODE` as an environment variable with value `disable`. – Vlad V Mar 04 '17 at 16:42
