last version (from test apk) on android without play services.

The app with analytics disabled sends ~8kb of data to firebaselogging.googleapis.com after ~5 minutes being active in background.

I would expect the connections it makes were only to electrum servers and congecko.

I think for a bitcoin software transparency is important.
Is it possible to fix this so to make clear what connections bluewallet enstablishes and what they achieve? Even if this is the normal behaviour of the firebase embedded dependency and it isn't doing nothing harmful (nor it is used for "analytics"), I think this represent an issue.

That's for push notifications. You can disable those in your app settings.

If google services are not present on device the option "network--->notifications" is not showed.
Also, if degoogled I expect that the connection to firebase is useless.

The code is fully open source. You will notice the app is React Native based. This will let you know that all dependencies are packaged into an APK.

I dont argue about remove dependencies, but change a behaviour of the app.
