@maRci002 - Have you tried the latest dev version?

dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli 1.0.1-dev.4

Not OP but same issue on Windows and MacOS.

I tried with the version 1.0.0 and the latest dev version with the same result for both versions.

What I tested :

• Windows : flutterfire configure -p {myproject} --out lib/flavor/dev/firebase_options.dart -i {mybundleId} --platforms ios --ios-out="ios/Runner/Config/GoogleService-info.plist". No file generated. The output contains no information about the GoogleService-info.plist.

• Windows : flutterfire configure -p {myproject} --out lib/flavor/dev/firebase_options.dart -i {mybundleId} --platforms="ios" --ios-out="d:\{projectfolder}\ios\Runner\Config\GoogleService-info.plist" No file generated. The output contains no information about the GoogleService-info.plist.

• MacOS : flutterfire configure -p {myproject} --out lib/flavor/dev/firebase_options.dart -i {mybundleid} --platforms ios --ios-out="ios/Runner/Config/GoogleService-info.plist" -y --ios-build-config=Debug No file generated. But the cli asks ? Enter a path for your ios "GoogleService-Info.plist" ("ios-out" flag.) relative to the root of your Flutter project. Example input: ios/dev and waits for user input. This is the same behaviour as running the command without the --ios-out

@russellwheatley neither --ios-out ios/firebase_config/dev neither --ios-out ios/firebase_config/dev/GoogleService-Info.plist worked for me. The firebase_app_id_file.json also stopped generating. However firebase.json is generated at the root of the project and to be honest idk what is that file.

[rikkertpm]

Same story here. All files are created or modified. Except for IOS... 😢

@maRci002 - firebase_app_id_file .json is no longer needed in your source control. firebase.json tracks your FlutterFire configuration. Once you've configured (flutterfire configure), it allows you to run flutterfire reconfigure without providing any arguments and it will update your config files if you have enabled other firebase services.

I cannot reproduce this bug if I'm honest. Did you get to the bottom of it?

[maRci002]

firebase.json tracks your FlutterFire configuration

It's nice to see that it can store configuration for each flavor

I cannot reproduce this bug if I'm honest. Did you get to the bottom of it?

Unfortunately, version 1.2.0 also doesn't fix the issue. I even tried running the cmd as administrator.

I'm monitoring the firebase.json file, and I can see entries for android and dart, but nothing for ios. For example, android has buildConfigurations and fileOutput, but there's no equivalent section for ios.

Is there any way to force flutterfire to be more verbose, so I can get more insight into what's going wrong?

[mortenthansen]

Same problem when running new version of flutterfire_cli from Linux. Didnt use to be like this.

Looking at the source code, the problem seems to be that the iOS files are only generated on a mac.

[russellwheatley]

Just to be clear - as @mortenthansen has pointed out, we only generate apple stuff if you're running on macOS. I've just noticed that @maRci002 is running on windows which is why you're not seeing GoogleService-Info.plist generated.

Strange since old version could handle it, can you please show some warning messages on the other platforms or document it?

[yuval-ngtnuma]

@russellwheatley can you please provide the rationale for why this is the case that GoogleService-Info.plist would be generated only when running on macOS? I see the relevant condition line but there is no comment as to why this is happening. This is weird as if I understand correctly the file actually gets generated on the server-side and simply dumped. Specifically, this is not mentioned in Google's docs for setting up Firebase with Flutter using Flutterfire CLI, so it might be at least beneficial to specify this explicitly.

[russellwheatley]

@yuval-ngtnuma - It is documented here
