Firebase.json with product flavours.

[Acetyld]

Hello,

We are using product flavors for whitelabeling.
How do we use mulitple firebase.json for admob?
Because we can only specify:
"admob_android_app_id": "ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxx~xxxxxxxx", "admob_ios_app_id": "ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxx~xxxxxxxx"
And we have atm 3 different flavours with each their own android/ios firebase.

We would love to hear! Maybe its possible to set it when intializing admob?

Hmm, not possible right now. Quickest solution would be to make a quick script which is run before build. The script could read and parse the file, change the JSON values to whatever you need for that build and write the file again.

Hey! Is is possible to place the id's inside the AndroidManifest.xml, like this: https://developers.google.com/admob/android/quick-start
<manifest> <application> <!-- Sample AdMob App ID: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713 --> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~yyyyyyyyyy"/> </application> </manifest>

Would love to hear!

ATM we got it inside the androidmanifest and the info.plist on GADApplicationIdentifier, (https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/quick-start) and we are getting ads.

So this could work right? Atleast it does for us! =)

We do this so react native firebase if not replacing it.

For java something like this for your flavors should work? #3504 (comment)

Yes see my reaction earlier, this is what we use right now. It overrides the firebase.json
And for iOS same thing see:

It worked for me to show the ads right , but I think the ads for the two flavors got recorded on Admob for the one mentioned in firebase.json

It should be noted that the firebase.json is more of a convenience than anything (similar to the google-services.json file). There is no requirement that you use it and for more complex projects (like, with flavors etc), there should be nothing stopping you from removing the related values from firebase.json and directly entering the related values in AndroidManifest.xml or Info.plist.

If you chase the config / init code in @react-native-firebase/app through you'll see that it is just taking those values from firebase.json and interpolating them in to the manifest/plist for you. So should work fine to cut that out for the values you need to override and do it yourself
