Targeting: iOS devices

Steps to Reproduce

I’m not sure there’s really a specific case here but setting up a project to use Firebase analytics following from https://docs.expo.io/guides/setup-native-firebase/ and building the iOS app may throw the error.

The error is thrown the moment we invoke the Analytics function setCurrentScreen like below:

Analytics.setCurrentScreen(currentRouteName, currentRouteName)

Expected Behaviour

Wasn’t expecting any error to be thrown in regards to the configuration. But this is what happens when the function described above is called:

Firebase is not configured. Ensure that you have configured ‘GoogleService-Info.plist’ correctly.

In case anyone is wondering, the GoogleService-Info.plist was simply downloaded from what Firebase generated and placed inside

/assets/firebase/GoogleService-Info.plist

Then, in app.json, in the ios configuration I point to the plist file, like this:

"ios": {
      "supportsTablet": false,
      "bundleIdentifier": "#####",
      "buildNumber": "1.0.13",
      "googleServicesFile": "./assets/firebase/GoogleService-Info.plist"
    },

I found the issue! I released an OTA Update to my App that included the Firebase Analytics but forgot to release an iOS build to Test Flight too. Remember: when app.json (eg ìos.googleServicesFile`) is changed, it must be released a new iOS build. I did it and it fixed the problem 🙌

@Nilomiranda if you are still using the Expo client and have not ejected, read this section of the guide https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/firebase-analytics/#expo-client-limitations–configuration
