problem with putting GoogleServices-Info.plist

[sonrebmax]

*\ Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'com.firebase.core', reason: '[FIRApp configure] could not find a valid GoogleServices-Info.plist in your project. Please download one from https://console.firebase.google.com/.'

I added manually to: www/ /

added scripts/after_prepare.js and hook in plugin.xml

no problem solved yet...

please help

[sonrebmax]

I have temporary solution for this:

cp GoogleService-Info.plist platforms/ios/build/device/APPNAME.app/ && ios-deploy --justlaunch --no-wifi -d -b platforms/ios/build/device/APPNAME.app

I am having the same problem.

Same issue this is in phonegap for me FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':processReleaseGoogleServices'.

  File google-services.json is missing. The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it. Searched Location: /project/src/release/google-services.json /project/google-services.json

but the file is directly in the root directory i evenattempted even /project/src/release creating that file structure

[BananZG]

instead of putting them under the project's root directory, what i do is to put them under individual platform's directory. For example: I put the 'AndroidManifest.xml' file under _yourproject/platforms/android and for ios, put 'GoogleService-Info.plist' under _yourproject/platforms/ios

@divinity-comp @sonrebmax @GitFr33: The solution is what @BananZGan said:

• For Android: put google-services.json in the directory platforms/android.
• For iOS: add the platform ios, and add Google-Services.plist in the root folder of the XCode project.

I hope we can have something like a hook which copies the files from the root Cordova project (so where www and config.xml are) automatically.

I have some solutions for the hook, but I need to test them first

phonegap-plugin-push implements a simple hook. It could inspire. @fechanique

[fechanique]

also I have some pull request with the solution, I only need some time :D

I'm still getting this error after copying my GoogleService-Info.plist into platforms/ios (and several other directories for good measure).

I'm using cordova version 6.3.1, Xcode 7.3.1, iOS 9.3

Any suggestions?

[benlooi]

I had this a few times. What I did was to add the GoogleService-Info.plist into the Resources folder in XCode. For some reason a blank GoogleService-Info.plist is created, which has to be replaced. 1) right-click the GoogleService-Info.plist under the Resources folder if it exists. If it shows up blank, delete it. 2) Next, right-click on Resources folder, add files, then find your downloaded plist and add it in. You can also try dragging it from your Finder window to the Resources folder in XCode.

[GitFr33]

Thanks benlooi! After adding GoogleService-Info.plist to the resources folder as you suggested it seems to be working. I am not getting any notifications unless the app is open, but that is a different issue.

[julitroalves]

Thanks @benlooi! After adding G..plist file to Resources my app finally works.

[arnoldmukisa]

Adding the GoogleService-Info.plist file to resources manually in Xcode worked.

[MariusIlie14]

Yes but this is a temporary solution as the issue persists in cordova 7.0.1 with xcode 8.3.2 as well . Has there any other fix been done ?

[DropkickSteve]

I think this is a bug of Xcode. When i add platform ios, the GoogleService-Info.plist is placed correctly in /platforms/ios/myApp/Resources/. However it has to be manually added in the Resources folder of Xcodes project navigator.

[ricardojlrufino]

I think that in XCode Resources is a virtual folder... or is a Bug ..

[DropkickSteve]

@ricardojlrufino I agree. If I manually put the GoogleService-Info.plist file in the Resources folder in Xcode, it then appears in the filesystem in Finder. However when my script puts the file in the Resources folder of the filesystem, it does not show in the Resources folder of Xcode.

[manfield]

Hi Everybody, so there won't be any programmatic solution to that?

[bunday]

im still experiencing this error, about to remove and add ios platform and manually copy the file now. i hope it works

[manfield]

I found a programmatic solution, with after_prepare hook script

Adding these instructions:

  copyFile("../GoogleService-Info.plist", "../platforms/ios/GoogleService-Info.plist");

then

      var pbxGroupKey = proj.findPBXGroupKey({
        name: "Resources"
      });
      proj.removeResourceFile('GoogleService-Info.plist', {}, pbxGroupKey);
      proj.addResourceFile('GoogleService-Info.plist', {}, pbxGroupKey);

where proj is:

  var projectPath = "platforms/ios/MyProj.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj";
  var proj = new xcode.project(projectPath);

You need this lib:

var xcode = require('xcode');

[atjason]

Just FYI, I solved this issue by add a copy step.

The key point is, the 'GoogleService-Info.plist' should be copied to the root path of .app.

[manfield]

Ok, but since project is generated for each cordova build I think you'd get this setting lost after the next build. Actually not every build, but every platform prepare.

[ank-it]

@atjason Thank you for pointing out the right solution. Works like charm. It should be in the official documentation of Firebase if this is not a bug.

[atjason]

@ank-it Welcome. I also wonder why Firebase official document miss such information.

[tumocpc]

I found the reason why the googleservice-info.plist file is corrupted. This is plugin problem and I fixed it. please add this plugin in your ionic project, and then it will fix your problems. https://github.com/tumocpc/cordova-plugin-fmc.git It does not require work that you should add googleservice-info.plist manuallly.

[mkwsra]

In my case, I didn't download GoogleService-info.plist from firebase, thus, I was using always an empty version of it! Plus, drag and drop this file into Resources folder didn't help me, I had to right click then choose Add Files to FooBar.

Thanks a lot for helping me out! I have been struggling with this issue!

[epetre]

@manfield has the best solution here. It's just missing some steps.

var projectPath = "platforms/ios/{YOUR_PROJECT_NAME}.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj";
var proj = new xcode.project(projectPath);
proj.parseSync();
var pbxGroupKey = proj.findPBXGroupKey({ name: "Resources" });
proj.removeResourceFile('GoogleService-Info.plist', {}, pbxGroupKey);
proj.addResourceFile('GoogleService-Info.plist', {}, pbxGroupKey);
fs.writeFileSync(projectPath, proj.writeSync());

Just the parse and saving of the file.

I also copy my file from root, this way you can remove the platform and it still works:

fs.copyFile("GoogleService-Info.plist", "platforms/ios/{YOUR_PROJECT_NAME}/Resources/GoogleService-Info.plist", (err) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('GoogleService-Info.plist was copied to platforms/ios/GoogleService-Info.plist');
});

thx @manfield
