How to add Firebase Analytics as a dependency for a pod? - firebase

I am trying to create an analytics library for my applications. The applications have to go through the framework to send analytics, so Firebase Analytics is a dependency of the pod.
I have created a sample project.
When trying to compile the app, the pod does not compile:
No such module 'Firebase'
If I open the pod framework target build settings and add in the header search path:
${PODS_ROOT}/Firebase/CoreOnly/Sources
The error disappears. Then if I try to use Analytics or Crashlytics, I have the error:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "OBJC_CLASS$_FIRAnalytics"
It was not happening with the previous version 6.32.2.
How to fix this?

The library's podspec that depends on FirebaseAnalytics should specify static_framework=true.
More detail at https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/7579

I validated the answer from Paul, from Firebase.
To sum up, not to have any issue:
distribute the pod as static (static_framework=true)
replace import Firebase with
import FirebaseCore
import FirebaseAnalytics
import FirebaseCrashlytics // (if required)

What benefit does linking Firebase web app to Firebase Hosting site brings?

What for should I link the web app to the Firebase Hosting site in the console? What are the benefits and effects?
The difference between the two is covered here: Whats the difference between firebase web app and firebase hosting.
The linking is mentioned in the documentation https://firebase.google.com/docs/web/setup#register-app, but the rationale and consequences are not explained.
The Firebase support documentation says:
You may need to link your web app to your Hosting site in the Project settings if you chose not to set up Hosting when you registered your web app with your Firebase project.
If you're using Firebase Hosting for your web app, you can use the reserved Hosting URLs to add Firebase SDKs and manage your Firebase configuration for your app.
In short, if you're using those special Hosting URLs that begin with __, in particular, /__/firebase/init.json, it helps to have linked your app to Hosting so that the configuration is complete. By my recollection, the config will then have a correct FCM config in this case.
You can configure partial import of the Firebase JavaScript SDK and only load the Firebase products that you need. If you're using a bundler (like Browserify or webpack), you can import individual Firebase products when you need them.
Note: You can use this option even if you use Firebase Hosting, but make sure to add your Firebase config object before initializing Firebase.
Install the Firebase JavaScript SDK:
a. If you don't already have a package.json file, create one by running the following command from the root of your JavaScript project:
npm init
b. Install the firebase npm package and save it to your package.json file by running:
npm install --save firebase
To include only specific Firebase products (like Authentication and Cloud Firestore), import Firebase modules:
// Firebase App (the core Firebase SDK) is always required and must be
listed first
import firebase from "firebase/app";
// If you are using v7 or any earlier version of the JS SDK, you should
import firebase using namespace import
// import * as firebase from "firebase/app"
// If you enabled Analytics in your project, add the Firebase SDK for
Analytics
import "firebase/analytics";
// Add the Firebase products that you want to use
import "firebase/auth";
import "firebase/firestore";
Initialize Firebase in your app:
// TODO: Replace the following with your app's Firebase project
configuration
// For Firebase JavaScript SDK v7.20.0 and later, measurementId is an
optional field
const firebaseConfig = {
// ...
};
// Initialize Firebase
firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

Google Cloud Vision API could not find a declaration file

I'm following this tutorial that uses Ionic framework and Firebase backend to create an image recognition app https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taPczl94Eow
For this line:
import * as vision from '#google-cloud/vision'
I keep getting the error:
Could not find a declaration file for module '#google-cloud/vision'.
'/Users/Private/Workspace/project/functions/node_modules/#google-cloud/vision/src/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
Try `npm install #types/google-cloud__vision` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module '#google-cloud/vision';`
What should I do? I already installed it properly. I also enabled the API from the GCP platform and followed their instructions
I was also having the same problem, so I had to replace this line:
import * as vision from '#google-cloud/vision'
For this line (it works with Typescript):
const vision = require('#google-cloud/vision');
I hope this works for your case.

Firebase JS SDK warning while load application in browser (angular v5)

When application load in browser, it gives following warning. So unable to create build for prod (ng build --aot --prod)
It looks like you're using the development build of the Firebase JS SDK.
When deploying Firebase apps to production, it is advisable to only import
the individual SDK components you intend to use.
For the module builds, these are available in the following manner
(replace <PACKAGE> with the name of a component - i.e. auth, database, etc):
CommonJS Modules:
const firebase = require('firebase/app');
require('firebase/<PACKAGE>');
ES Modules:
import firebase from 'firebase/app';
import 'firebase/<PACKAGE>';
I am using following configurations
Angular CLI: 1.5.0
Node: 9.8.0
Angular: 5.1.3
"firebase": "^5.0.4",
"angularfire2": "^5.0.0-rc.10"
Please guide where I get wrong.
There is nothing really wrong, it is more a warning and a best practices tip.
Firebase is composed of different services/modules, e.g. the Real Time Database, Firestore, the Auth service, etc.
In the majority of projects one does not use ALL those services and therefore this warning indicates that instead of importing all the services with one global import it is better to only import the services you really need in your application. In such a way, your build will be optimized: the resulting build file(s) will only contain the Firebase SDK code that you need and will not contain the parts that are not used.
See this documentation item: https://firebase.google.com/docs/web/setup and in particular the part that says:
If you are using a bundler like Browserify or webpack, you can just
require() the components that you use.
Update following your comment:
With the import keyword, you should do as follows:
import messaging from 'firebase/messaging';
You did not share your Angular component code that's why I could not give you specific code. However, I guess, you include Firebase directly like this then it will show following warning.
import * as firebase from 'firebase'; // It will throw warning
import * as firebase from 'firebase/app'; // It will not throw any warning
Then include specific package acccording to your need.
import 'firebase/firestore';
import 'firebase/database';
import 'firebase/auth';
I add following code, it works for me
require("firebase/messaging");

Firebase is not Importing without cocoapods in Xcode

I am new at Swift. I am creating my own framework that will use Firebase for in-app messages.
I tried to install Firebase through Cocoa pods, but it has issues: when I do that for my framework, then for sample project I have to install Firebase again. And then I get the numbers of warnings like this:
Class Firebase is implemented in both /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/AD85D7EC-2652-4019-94FB-C799D0FBA69B/MyFrameworkExampleApp.app/Frameworks/MyFramework.framework/MyFramework (0x1019a0438) and /var/containers/Bundle/Application/AD85D7EC-2652-4019-94FB-C799D0FBA69B/MyFrameworkExampleApp.app/MyFrameworkExampleApp (0x10107c558). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
my app crashes at runtime due to these warnings
So I don't want to use cocoa pods in Framework but need Firebase in my project.)
.
I follow the steps:
"https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup#frameworks"
I just download the firebase file and import it into my project. after this I try to:
import Firebase
at the top of my swift class but the compiler is giving me an error.
No such module 'Firebase'
I am using Xcode 9. swift 4.
All of the framework files are in
"Targets > FrameworkName > General > Linked Frameworkd and Libraries".
also in the
"Targets > FrameworkName > Build Phases > Link Binary with Libraries".
I also followed this tutorial:
http://www.mokacoding.com/blog/setting-up-firebase-without-cocoapods/
but nothing happened.
Where am I wrong and What should I do?
Try adding following #import to framework's public header file "YourCocoaTouchFrameworkNameSwift.h"
#import <YourCocoaTouchFrameworkName/Firebase.h>
Check this link, if you need more information.
in firebase we have not a .framework file for import firebase. As we know that firebase is a combination of different frameworks, so we were unable to import firebase directly. thats why we
import required framework and dependent framework separately.
Dont try to import whole firebase.

How to connect Aurelia to Firebase?

Is fbh-firebase-util compatible with aurelia?
How to use it?
fbh-firebase-util via jspm:
jspm install github:djindjic/fbh-firebase-util
Aurelia is just a javascript framework. Aurelia itself won't keep you from using the libraries you love. After installing a library with jspm, just import it and use it. The only trick is knowing what the library exports, but the library should provide you with some documentation.
In all likelihood, you will just need to add this line at the top of your code which uses firebase:
import firebase from 'github:djindjic/fbh-firebase-util'
If you add a dependency to your package.json
"jspm": {
"dependencies": {
"firebase": "github:djindjic/fbh-firebase-util#^0.1.22",
then your import line becomes
import firebase from 'firebase'
If this doesn't immediately work, please review the firebase documentation to see what the module exports. The above assumes it exports default.
