Added a note to clarify that PLIST_VERSION in GoogleService-Info.plist does not refer to the <plist version="1.0"> declaration in a Property List file. PLIST_VERSION is a Firebase field within the <dict></dict> in the plist file and is accurately listed as being unused. #no-changelog

Firebase Options Usage By Product
Summarize which Firebase Options fields (and GoogleService-Info.plist attributes) are used by which Firebase products.

Rows (FirebaseOptions)
See FIROptions.m to see how the variables map to GoogleService-Info.plist attributes.
- apiKey: An API key used for authenticating requests from your Apple app
- bundleID: The bundle ID for the application (Not used by the SDK)
- clientID: The OAuth2 client ID for Apple applications used to authenticate Google users
- gcmSenderID: The Project Number from the Google Developer's console used to configure Google Cloud Messaging
- projectID: The Project ID from the Firebase console
- googleAppID: The Google App ID that is used to uniquely identify an instance of an app
- databaseURL: The realtime database root URL
- deepLinkURLScheme: The URL scheme used to set up Durable Deep Link service
- storageBucket: The Google Cloud Storage bucket name
Questions
- apiKey, projectID, gcmSenderID, projectID, and googleAppID seem to have overlapping functionality. Can they be consolidated?
- gcmSenderID is the second subfield of googleAppID. Can it be eliminated?
- bundleID seems to have three purposes: Performance SDK uses it. Messaging back end uses it. Core will generate an error message if it doesn't match the actual bundleID. Anything else?
- Why isn't deepLinkURLScheme set from the GoogleService-Info.plist field
REVERSED_CLIENT_IDlike other Firebase Options? The client code is required to explicitly set it. - Is there a better way to manage the fields that are only used by one product? clientID, databaseURL, deepLinkURLScheme, and storageBucket.
Unused FirebaseOptions
Proposal: Deprecate these in the SDK and stop generating them for GoogleService-Info.plist.
- androidClientID
- trackingID
Unread GoogleService-Info.plist fields
Proposal: Stop generating these for GoogleService-Info.plist.
