The base for my project is the JS Version of the New World sample provided by NativeScript. I'm installing this plugin using the following taken directly from the installation guide:

tns plugin add @nativescript/firebase

When I run that command, I see the loading bar, and the plugin is installed. I'm never asked any questions like the installation guide says I should be, but it install successfully anyway. However, when I run the sample with the iOS simulator, I'm getting the following error:

Firebase.init error: ReferenceError: FIROptions is not defined

After doing some digging through other git issues, I found a lot of people suggest changing the firebase.nativescript.json file. I tried looking for my version of it, but couldn't find it. I re-read the installation guide and realized that this should've also been created during the plugin installation but it wasn't, and I'm entirely sure why. I tried uninstalling the plugin and tried to install it again but I was still never asked any questions and the file was still never generated. Although, I'm using NativeScript version 7+, I did try the installation command for NativeScript 6 but it ran the exact same way, just as you would expect.

I noticed the same. Perhaps that would be fixed soon. What I did was navigate to the firebase directory inside node_modules. /node_modules/@nativescript/firebase Fire up a terminal there and run

npm run setup

If you have previously set up and want to make changes, then run

npm run config

I hope I got that right :) Some others might comment later to state if this approach is acceptable.

Thanks for the advice @stewardjornsen

I'll give this a try and report back!

You're an absolute legend dude!! It worked!

Although it's a bit of a 'hacky' fix, it works nonetheless. I'm very happy!
