This is a community-supported fork of the GoogleApisForiOSComponents repo maintained initially by Xamarin. Microsoft just kind of stopped maintaining these bindings libraries, which were published under the package prefixes Xamarin.Firebase.iOS.* and Xamarin.Google.iOS.*
Apple's new privacy manifest requirements, which went into effect 1 May 2024, impacted all Xamarin.Firebase.iOS.* packages. App Store compliance requires native SDK versions 10.24+, while the Xamarin packages are stuck on 8.10.
Less than two months before this privacy deadline, Microsoft's response to impacted developers was that they "don't have any updates to share about producing new versions of those packages", and suggested that developers re-write their own bindings using this slim binding demo project as a guide.
As an alternative solution for the community, I created this fork and upgraded a subset of the affected packages to latest native SDK versions and published them under a new package prefix: AdamE.Firebase.iOS.*
If these packages are important to you, please consider sponsoring the project and/or contributing to this fork.
Here's a table that shows in which Nuget package version is located each sdk of Firebase:
| SDK Name | SDK Version | Nuget Package Version |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase A/B Testing | 10.24.0 |  |
| Firebase Analytics | 10.24.0 |  |
| Firebase Auth | 10.24.0 |  |
| Firebase Firestore | 10.24.0 |  |
| Firebase Functions | 10.24.0 |  |
| Firebase Messaging | 10.24.0 |  |
| Firebase Core | 10.24.0 |  |
| Firebase Crashlytics | 10.24.0 |  |
| Firebase Database | 10.24.0 |  |
| Firebase Dynamic Links | 8.10.0 |  |
| Firebase Installations | 10.24.0 |  |
| Firebase RemoteConfig | 8.10.0 |  |
| Firebase Storage | 10.24.0 |  |
The alpha versions are pending to be tested.
| SDK Name | SDK Version | Nuget Package Version |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase AdMob | 8.10.0 | 8.10.0 |
| Firebase In App Messaging | 8.10.0 | 8.10.0 |
| Firebase Performance Monitoring | 8.10.0 | 8.10.0 |
| Google User Messaging Platform | 1.1.0.0 | 8.10.0 |
| Google Cast | 4.7.0.0 | 8.10.0 |
| Google Sign-In | 5.0.2.2 | 8.10.0 |
| Google Tag Manager | 7.4.0.0 | 8.10.0 |
On .NET 6+, FirebaseAnalytics 10.17+ requires this target be added to your app's .csproj:
<!-- Target needed until LinkWithSwiftSystemLibraries makes it into the SDK: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/pull/20463 -->
<Target Name="LinkWithSwift" DependsOnTargets="_ParseBundlerArguments;_DetectSdkLocations" BeforeTargets="_LinkNativeExecutable">
<PropertyGroup>
<_SwiftPlatform Condition="$(RuntimeIdentifier.StartsWith('iossimulator-'))">iphonesimulator</_SwiftPlatform>
<_SwiftPlatform Condition="$(RuntimeIdentifier.StartsWith('ios-'))">iphoneos</_SwiftPlatform>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<_CustomLinkFlags Include="-L" />
<_CustomLinkFlags Include="/usr/lib/swift" />
<_CustomLinkFlags Include="-L" />
<_CustomLinkFlags Include="$(_SdkDevPath)/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/$(_SwiftPlatform)" />
<_CustomLinkFlags Include="-Wl,-rpath" />
<_CustomLinkFlags Include="-Wl,/usr/lib/swift" />
</ItemGroup>
</Target>Additionally, you may be required to include also the Firebase Installations package reference.
On Legacy Xamarin.iOS, FirebaseAnalytics 10.17+ requires that additional mtouch arguments be added to the iOS project:
For iPhone:
--gcc_flags -L/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/iphoneos
For simulator:
--gcc_flags -L/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/iphonesimulator/
You may need to adjust the XCode location if it's not default.
On .NET8, you must set the following property. Note that this will increase your app's size.
<!--https://github.com/xamarin/GoogleApisForiOSComponents/issues/643#issuecomment-1920970044-->
<PropertyGroup Condition="$([MSBuild]::GetTargetPlatformIdentifier('$(TargetFramework)')) == 'ios'">
<_ExportSymbolsExplicitly>false</_ExportSymbolsExplicitly>
</PropertyGroup>Before building the libraries and samples in this repository, you will need to install [.NET Core][30] and the [Cake .NET Core Tool][32]:
Currently requires a version of Cake less than 1.0 (due to dependencies).
dotnet tool install -g cake.tool --version 0.38.5When building on macOS, you may also need to install [CocoaPods][31]:
# Homebrew
brew install cocoapods
# Ruby Gems
gem install cocoapodsYou can either build all the libraries and samples in the repository from the root:
dotnet cakeOr, you can specify the components and its dependencies to be build by using the --names=Key1,Key2,...:

Before the .sln files will compile in the IDEs, the external dependencies need to be downloaded. This can be done by running the externals target:
dotnet cake --target=externalsAfter the externals are downloaded and built, the .sln files should compile in your IDE.
