Getting screen views and events after 1 hour in realtime overview in google analytics

Question

I am using firebase analytics in my flutter app . In debug mode the screen views and events are visible within few seconds in realtime overview but in release build I get the screen views and events after about 1 hour in the realtime overview of google analytics.

For the debug mode i had to run the command :

adb shell setprop debug.firebase.analytics.app PACKAGE_NAME

after that only I was able to see the events and screen views in debug mode. I disabled it later . Now while checking for release build I am getting the views and events after about one hour.
Here is my main function:

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

    await Firebase.initializeApp(
      options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform
    );
    await FirebaseAnalytics.instance.setAnalyticsCollectionEnabled(true);
    
      runApp(MultiProvider(
        providers: [
          ChangeNotifierProvider(create: (context) => AuthState()),
          ChangeNotifierProvider(create: (context) => ConnectivityProvider()),
          ChangeNotifierProvider(create: (context) => UnitProvider()),
        ],
        child: MyApp(),
      ));
}

Here is code of my home screen where I am trying to log screen view and an event:

class _HomeScreenState extends State<HomeScreen> with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {


  late final AnimationController _controller = AnimationController(vsync: this, duration: Duration(seconds: 2))..repeat();



  @override
  void initState() {
    FirebaseAnalytics.instance.logScreenView(screenName: "home_screen");
    super.initState();
  }
....
 return Stack(
            children: [
              Offstage(
                offstage: !value.isConnected,
                child: Scaffold(
                  key: _scaffoldKey,
                  drawer: const Menu(),
                  appBar: AppBar(
                    actions: [
                      Container(
                        height: 64,
                        padding: EdgeInsets.all(4),
                        child: Row(
                          mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.max,
                          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
                          children: [
                            Container(
                              alignment: Alignment.centerRight,
                              padding: EdgeInsets.only(right: 16),
                              child: InkWell(
                                onTap: () async {
                                 
                                   await FirebaseAnalytics.instance.logEvent(name: "button_pressed", parameters: {"button_name": "scan"});
                                    await state.scanDevice(context);
                                  }
                                },
.........

It sounds like the Analytics SDK may be batching events to save the device's battery. If that's indeed the case, that's working as intended. Only conversion events may trigger a premature sending of events in that case. — Frank van Puffelen

Are you asking why it takes so long?

Sorry but I don't see a specific question here.

Firebase Analytics is expected to have a delay of 1 hour.
