Google Analytics not working with GTM and Firebase iOS

Question

I installed Firebase SDK to my project. I'm using Firebase "logEventWithName" method to send event to GTM. I see that events are logged. I see output in debug console in xcode.

016-06-30 14:49:13.991 Reztoran[47264:3499021] GoogleTagManager info: Processing logged event: pageView with parameters: {
pageName = Restaurant;
}
2016-06-30 14:49:13.995 Reztoran[47264:3499021] GoogleTagManager info: Sending universal analytics hit: {
"&t" = screenview;
"&tid" = "xxxxxxxxxxx";
}
2016-06-30 14:49:13.997 Reztoran[47264:] <FIRAnalytics/DEBUG> Logging event: origin, name, params: app+gtm, pageView, {
    "_o" = "app+gtm";
    pageName = Restaurant;
}
2016-06-30 14:49:14.079 Reztoran[47264:] <FIRAnalytics/DEBUG> Event logged. Event name, event params: pageView, {
    "_o" = "app+gtm";
    pageName = Restaurant;
}

I created a Trigger which fires on when Event Name equals to pageView and I created a Google Analytics tag that's Track Type is ScreenView and fires on the event that I created.

I could not see any data in Google Analytics however I can see all the events and data in firebase console.

What could be the reason of this problem?

I don't have experience with Firebase, but I use Google Tag Manager to Implement Google Analytics I attached images you can see how i created (Variable, Trigger, Tag, please consider red rectangles others are extra) in google tag manager account, below is the code i use in page life cycle methods (viewDidAppear and viewWillDisappear) and please make sure downloaded the correct container.

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];

    // The container should have already been opened, otherwise events pushed to
    // the data layer will not fire tags in that container.
    TAGDataLayer *dataLayer = [TAGManager instance].dataLayer;
    [dataLayer push:@{@"event": @"openScreen1", @"screenName": @"Wellcome Screen"}];

}

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidDisappear:animated];
    //[Utils pushCloseScreenEventWithScreenName:@"CategoryViewScreen"];

    TAGDataLayer *dataLayer = [TAGManager instance].dataLayer;
    [dataLayer push:@{@"event": @"closeScreen", @"screenName": @"Wellcome Screen"}];

}
