react-native rnfirebase Firebase GoogleService-Info.plist with different build schemes, environment

#reactnative #environment #xcode #ios

When you integration your react-native app with firebase (rnfirebase). You using Xcode schemes for develop, production. This post will introduce you how Firebase google plist work with different build schemes.

Step 1: Copy plist file to app directory. Look like:
ios

AppName (your app name) -- Firebase --- Dev ---- GoogleService-Info.plist -------- Prod --------- GoogleService-Info.plist

Step 2: Open XCode, create new Groups with name "Firebase" and "Dev", "Prod" inside.

Step 3: Right click Dev and Prod, click "add files to ..".

Uncheck "Copy items if needed"
Uncheck "Add to target"

Step 4: In the Xcode project navigator, select the app target. Switch to the Build Phases tab at the top, then add a New Run Script Phase. Name the phase “Setup Firebase Environment GoogleService-Info.plist”
And place it before the “Copy Bundle Resources” step.

Step 5: Implement a shell script that will copy the appropriate GoogleService-Info.plist into the app bundle based on the build configuration. Copy and paste the following shell script into the run script phase you just created:

# Name of the resource we're selectively copying
GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PLIST=GoogleService-Info.plist

# Get references to dev and prod versions of the GoogleService-Info.plist
# NOTE: These should only live on the file system and should NOT be part of the target (since we'll be adding them to the target manually)
GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_DEV=${PROJECT_DIR}/${TARGET_NAME}/Firebase/Dev/${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PLIST}
GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PROD=${PROJECT_DIR}/${TARGET_NAME}/Firebase/Prod/${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PLIST}

# Make sure the dev version of GoogleService-Info.plist exists
echo "Looking for ${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PLIST} in ${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_DEV}"
if [ ! -f $GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_DEV ]
then
    echo "No Development GoogleService-Info.plist found. Please ensure it's in the proper directory."
    exit 1
fi

# Make sure the prod version of GoogleService-Info.plist exists
echo "Looking for ${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PLIST} in ${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PROD}"
if [ ! -f $GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PROD ]
then
    echo "No Production GoogleService-Info.plist found. Please ensure it's in the proper directory."
    exit 1
fi

# Get a reference to the destination location for the GoogleService-Info.plist
PLIST_DESTINATION=${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.app
echo "Will copy ${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PLIST} to final destination: ${PLIST_DESTINATION}"

# Copy over the prod GoogleService-Info.plist for Release builds
if [ "${CONFIGURATION}" == "Release" ]
then
    echo "Using ${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PROD}"
    cp "${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PROD}" "${PLIST_DESTINATION}"
else
    echo "Using ${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_DEV}"
    cp "${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_DEV}" "${PLIST_DESTINATION}"
fi

It done!
