Installation

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-config

Use variables IOS_FIREBASE_POD_VERSION and ANDROID_FIREBASE_BOM_VERSION to override dependency versions for Firebase SDKs:

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-config \
--variable IOS_FIREBASE_POD_VERSION="9.3.0" \
--variable ANDROID_FIREBASE_BOM_VERSION="30.3.1"

Adding required configuration files

Cordova supports resource-file tag for easy copying resources files. Firebase SDK requires google-services.json on Android and GoogleService-Info.plist on iOS platforms.

1. Put google-services.json and/or GoogleService-Info.plist into the root directory of your Cordova project
2. Add new tag for Android platform

<platform name="android">
    ...
    <resource-file src="google-services.json" target="app/google-services.json" />
</platform>
...
<platform name="ios">
    ...
    <resource-file src="GoogleService-Info.plist" />
</platform>

Preferences

You can specify FirebaseRemoteConfigDefaults in config.xml to define filename of a file with default values. Keep in mind that android and ios have different naming convensions there it's useful to specify different file names.

<platform name="android">
    ...
    <preference name="FirebaseRemoteConfigDefaults" value="remote_config_defaults" />
    <resource-file src="resources/android/remote_config_defaults.xml" target="app/src/main/res/xml/remote_config_defaults.xml" />
</platform>

<platform name="ios">
    ...
    <preference name="FirebaseRemoteConfigDefaults" value="RemoteConfigDefaults" />
    <resource-file src="resources/ios/RemoteConfigDefaults.plist" />
</platform>

On Android platform file remote_config_defaults.xml has a structure like below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<defaultsMap>
    <entry>
        <key>param1</key>
        <value>value1</value>
    </entry>
    <entry>
        <key>param2</key>
        <value>value2</value>
    </entry>
</defaultsMap>

On iOS platform file RemoteConfigDefaults.plist has a structure like below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>param1</key>
    <string>value1</string>
    <key>param2</key>
    <string>value2</string>
</dict>
</plist>
