How are people sending screen_view analytics to Firebase from their Compose code? Which side effect function do you use? I'm trying to find how to match SwiftUI's `onAppear` which runs on navigating to and back to a screen but does not run on background and foregrounding the app...

The official iOS Firebase sdk provides a utility modifier to trigger screen view analytics:
<https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/blob/04a2b57ca6b957863ab1267423b1365e1e8587d7/FirebaseAnalytics/Sources/Analytics%2BSwiftUI.swift#L34>
evidently, it uses `onAppear` internally

However I can't find a matching side effect function in Compose - `LaunchedEffect` also triggers when you background and foreground the app, which `onAppear` does not do

perhaps
```LifecycleEventEffect(Lifecycle.Event.ON_CREATE) {

}```
would do the trick? Has anyone else done screen_view analytics this way?

Use <https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/layout/package-summary#(androidx.compose.ui.Modifier).onVisibilityChanged(kotlin.Long,kotlin.Float,androidx.compose.ui.layout.LayoutBoundsHolder,kotlin.Function1)|https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/layout/package-summary#(androidx.compose.ui.Modifi[…]undsHolder,kotlin.Function1)>

The callback will be called when the view enters/exits the screen on a scroll or on a navigation, but will NOT be called on background/foreground.
