Setup and context: Why Revenue Analytics Dashboards Matter for Independent Developers

If you're running a mobile app independently, you've probably experienced the frustration of scattered revenue data. AdMob earnings live in one console, subscription revenue in another (App Store Connect or RevenueCat), and in-app purchase data somewhere else entirely. Answering a simple question like "what was my total revenue last month?" requires jumping between three or four different tools.

The Firebase × BigQuery × Looker Studio stack solves this problem elegantly. Firebase Analytics exports your event data to BigQuery automatically, you write custom SQL to aggregate all revenue sources, and Looker Studio turns that data into a visual dashboard you can share with anyone. The whole pipeline runs without manual intervention once it's set up.

The challenge is getting it all connected correctly. That's where Antigravity AI IDE becomes invaluable. Its agent mode and code generation capabilities mean you can build the entire pipeline—BigQuery SQL queries, Cloud Functions for data ingestion, automated report delivery scripts—without leaving your editor.

This guide is written for:

  • Developers who have Firebase Analytics integrated and want deeper revenue insights
  • Anyone who wants to visualize AdMob, subscription, and IAP trends in one place
  • Developers curious about BigQuery or Looker Studio but unsure where to start
  • Anyone who wants to use Antigravity agents for data pipeline automation

Architecture Overview: Understanding the Data Flow

Before writing any code, let's map out how data flows through the system.

  • Firebase Analytics (event collection): Captures user behavior and purchase events inside your app
  • BigQuery Export (automatic sync): Configured once in Firebase Console; events flow to BigQuery daily after that
  • BigQuery (data warehouse): Google's managed warehouse where you write SQL to aggregate and filter data any way you need
  • Cloud Functions for Firebase (data ingestion): Small glue functions that pull AdMob Reporting API data or RevenueCat webhooks into BigQuery
  • Looker Studio (BI dashboard): Google's free BI tool that connects directly to BigQuery and turns data into charts and scorecards

Antigravity accelerates every implementation phase of this pipeline. It generates BigQuery SQL from natural-language requirements, scaffolds Cloud Functions boilerplate, advises on schema design, and pinpoints the root cause when errors surface—all without leaving the editor.

An Agent Granted 'Watch an Ad to Unlock a Wallpaper' Entirely Client-Side — Re-Verifying Reward Grants with AdMob SSV
I asked an Antigravity agent to wire up 'watch a rewarded ad to unlock a wallpaper,' and it returned an implementation that wrote the unlock flag client-side only. Here is why that is not enough, how I re-verified the reward grant with AdMob server-side verification (SSV), and how I stopped double grants too.
