Please describe the issue:

I’ve been trying a lot of posibilities.
Got it working on android, but I keep getting a lot of confusing errors, some of them telling me that the file GoogleService-Info.plist wasn’t found, some others that the file was already on the target. I tried with , with some after_prepare hooks that the AI suggested with no luck. Can you point me on the right track?
I really appreciate it.

Using an old version of cordova-ios (6.2.0) with the latest version of cordova-plugin-firebasex could be the cause of this. Can you attempt to build using engine 7.1.1?

3

Got another error now: 11cba830-fb33-4ef7-b6b7-834af1be4772

UserError: [!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "FirebaseInAppMessaging":
  In Podfile:
    FirebaseInAppMessaging (= 12.3.0-beta)

Should I use a version of the plugin?

4

That did it!
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-firebasex" spec="^18.0.6" />
Thanks!

I got it to build, but now the app crashes, any pointers?

<Error>: 11.8.0 - [FirebaseCore][I-COR000003] The default Firebase app has not yet been configured. Add `FirebaseApp.configure()` to your application initialization. This can be done in in the App Delegate's application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:)` (or the `@main` struct's initializer in SwiftUI).

Can you please share your config.xml?

@artlogic

Did you got a chance to take a look to my config file? I’d really appreciate it.

It appears as if your config.xml is missing a lot of configuration required for Firebase. Does the app work if you remove that plugin?

10

Hi, yes, it does, and the notifications work just fine on android.

I’ve been looking around for some pointers and just cannot find anything else. Of course, after this version I’ve tried about 20-30 config tweaks with no luck. I was just about to give up and try a different approach (another plugin) but would be so grateful if you had an xml of a working one. Or where can I get the docs.

Sorry, not an expert on this subject.

Every configuration will be different depending on your needs. The plugin itself documents all of this, but it is a long read. You may want to start here: cordova-plugin-firebasex - npm

These variables can be added like so:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-firebasex" spec="^19.0.1">
    <variable name="FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_COLLECTION_ENABLED " value="true" />
</plugin>
