How to merge GoogleAnalytics and Firebase/Crashlytics GoogleService-info.plist?

In an iOS project, I have been using GoogleAnalytics and Fabric. Now I am trying to migrate Fabric to Firebase/Crashlytics. GoogleAnalytics has been using a GoogleService-info.plist and also Firebase requires a GoogleService-info.plist to support. Although I am using same account. Both GOOGLE_APP_ID is showing different in both GoogleService-info.plist. How can I use both version of GoogleAnalitics and Firebase/Crashlytics?


Solution

  • Finally it worked,

    We can remove the old GoogleAnalytics GoogleService-info.plist and dynamically set GA configurations like below (more detail),

    [GAI sharedInstance].trackUncaughtExceptions = YES;
    [[GAI sharedInstance].logger setLogLevel:kGAILogLevelVerbose];
    [GAI sharedInstance].dispatchInterval = 20;
    id<GAITracker> tracker = [[GAI sharedInstance] trackerWithTrackingId:@"UA-XXXXXXX-Y"];
    

    Then for Firebase/Analytics GoogleService-info.plist, we can put in appropriate dev/prod folder and copy appropriate one in Build Phase -> Run Script based on configurations. Like,

    # 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
