error when set $NSFirebaseAnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport=true

[romulowspp]

Hello!

I have a problem using firebase-analytics. I'm trying to use $NSFirebaseAnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport=true in my Podfile and i find some problems.

First problem

The modification in Podfile didn't happen in the first run and only when I changed something in the project. So we need to use a different hook. The project is using before-checkForChanges.

Second problem

When the project runs the Hook, it breaks the project because it puts the var at the top of the file, creates a new target with the same name as the current target, and breaks the build.

Generated Podfile in platforms folder:

The error in console:

I created a sample project to reproduce this problem.

Can you please try the latest version again and lmk if this is still an issue.

@triniwiz I can confirm that issue on my side with @nativescript/firebase-analytics 2.4.0.

The content of my App_Resources/Podfile:

$NSFirebaseAnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport=true

post_install do |installer|
  installer.generated_projects.each do |project|
    project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings["DEVELOPMENT_TEAM"] = "XXXXXXXXXX"
            config.build_settings["IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET"] = "12.0"
         end
    end
  end
end

The first time I build the project, the default Firebase Pod is used

Downloading dependencies
Installing Firebase (9.6.0)
Installing FirebaseAnalytics (9.6.0)
Installing FirebaseCore (9.6.0)
...

When I change something in the App_Resources/Podfile (e.g. a linebreak), the build fails:

Installing pods...
Using Firebase/AnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport pod in place of default Firebase/Analytics
Analyzing dependencies
[!] The target myapp is declared multiple times.
'pod install' command failed.

And indeed, in the Podfile from platforms/ios folder, the target is defined 2 times:

use_frameworks!

target "myapp" do
$NSFirebaseAnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport=true 
use_frameworks!

target "myapp" do
...

@triniwiz @edusperoni I upgraded the firebase plugin to 2.5.2 and the app still uses the default Firebase Analytics pod

Downloading dependencies
Installing Firebase (9.6.0)
Installing FirebaseAnalytics (9.6.0)
Installing FirebaseCore (9.6.0)
...

However when looking at the PodFile generated in platforms/ios, I see the following line at the very bottom:

...
# Begin Podfile - /Users/felixkrautschuk/workspace/myappApp_Resources/iOS/Podfile
$NSFirebaseAnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport = true


# End Podfile
end

[edusperoni]

before that line there should be a line about which firebase analytics it's going to use. That line at the end is expected

@edusperoni sorry, my fault....
I was expecting to see something like that during build:

Downloading dependencies
...
Installing FirebaseAnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport (9.6.0)

and was wondering why there is still FirebaseAnalytics....

So only a misunderstanding from my side ;)
