Description

When I do below command, each JSON and plist file have successfully been created.

ENVIRONMENT=dev
flutterfire configure \
    --ios-bundle-id=com.example.example.$ENVIRONMENT \
    --android-package-name=com.example.example.$ENVIRONMENT \
    --project=example-project-$ENVIRONMENT \
    --platforms="android,ios" \
    --yes

And then configure as staging environment with another firebase project,

ENVIRONMENT=stg
flutterfire configure \
    --ios-bundle-id=com.example.example.$ENVIRONMENT \
    --android-package-name=com.example.example.$ENVIRONMENT \
    --project=example-project-$ENVIRONMENT \
    --platforms="android,ios" \
    --yes

All files except GoogleService-Info.plist are updated like this.

        modified:   android/app/google-services.json
        modified:   ios/firebase_app_id_file.json
        modified:   lib/firebase_options.dart

And in GoogleService-Info.plist development config still remains.

When I delete GoogleService-Info.plist and configure again as staging environment, then GoogleService-Info.plist is successfully created with correct configure.

Steps to reproduce

1. flutterfire configure
2. Again configure with another firebase project

Expected behavior

GoogleService-Info.plist should correctly be updated.

✅ Encountered the same bug yesterday

Same here. Only GoogleService-Info.plist doesn't gets updated.

[Remas-Safi]

For me, as a hack way, I was changing to use a new project, so I deleted the app and run the command again

[josephmangmang]

same here. You need to manually delete the GoogleService-Info.plist and re-run flutterfire configure

[russellwheatley]

I'll be updating this for the next dev release. It should update the service file.

A bit confused here... A while ago when I first ran flutterfire configure, it didn't even create GoogleService-Info.plist. I'm certain about this because of my git change history. It's been working all well. Now I'm running flutterfire configure again while reviewing my project setup, it is creating GoogleService-Info.plist. Has it been changed?

[K-Maron]

Quick googling made me think that FirebaseOptions and GoogleService-Info.plist have overlapping purposes if we are just doing standard or simple Flutter<>Firebase integration. Thus, in the simplest case, if we are using GoogleService-Info.plist, then it's possible that we don't need to pass FirebaseOptions into Firebase.initializeApp function?

[russellwheatley]

It's been adding the apple service file since this PR was released last year: https://github.com/invertase/flutterfire_cli/pull/70. It is entirely possible you don't need to use the FirebaseOptions if you're not building a web app. The web platform still needs it for initialisation.

@russellwheatley Thanks for the clarification! 🙏
