Integrating RudderStack iOS SDK with Firebase

This repository contains the resources and assets required to integrate the RudderStack iOS SDK with Firebase.

For more information on configuring Firebase as a destination in RudderStack and the supported events and their mappings, refer to the Firebase documentation.

Important: This device mode integration is supported for Firebase v8.15.0 and above.

Step 1: Integrate the SDK with Firebase

1. Add Firebase as a destination in the RudderStack dashboard.
2. Download the GoogleService-Info.plist from your Firebase console and place it in your project.
3. RudderFirebase is available through CocoaPods. To install it, add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'RudderFirebase', '~> 1.2.0'

4. Run the pod install command.

Step 2: Import the SDK

Swift

import RudderFirebase

Objective C

@import RudderFirebase;

Step 3: Initialize the RudderStack client (RSClient)

Place the following in your AppDelegate under the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method.

Objective C

RSConfig *config = [[RSConfig alloc] initWithWriteKey:WRITE_KEY];
[config dataPlaneURL:DATA_PLANE_URL];
[[RSClient sharedInstance] configureWith:config];
[[RSClient sharedInstance] addDestination:[[RudderFirebaseDestination alloc] init]];

Swift

let config: RSConfig = RSConfig(writeKey: WRITE_KEY)
            .dataPlaneURL(DATA_PLANE_URL)
RSClient.sharedInstance().configure(with: config)
RSClient.sharedInstance().addDestination(RudderFirebaseDestination())

Step 4: Send events

Follow the steps listed in the RudderStack iOS SDK repo to start sending events to Firebase.

rudder-integration-firebase-swift's Issues

Firebase is not updated to the last version

In our application we have to use the latest version of Firebase but the rudder Firebase version is 9.2.1, what should we do, I wanted to know what is the problem, and why you didn't use the updated version.

Track method not called in RudderFirebaseDestination

I have added Firebase as a destination in my project, but it seems that the track method in RudderFirebaseDestination is not being called. As a result, I am unable to see any events in Firebase.

I have already tested the Firebase implementation separately, and everything appears to be functioning correctly. I can see crashes and debug events in Firebase's debugView. However, when I track events using Rudder, they do not appear in the Firebase panel.

note: I can see the events in facebook manager.

Here is the code snippet I used to add the Firebase destination after confining rudder:

RSClient.sharedInstance().addDestination(RudderFirebaseDestination())

I have followed the documentation provided and ensured that I have implemented the necessary steps correctly.

Any assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Rudder Firebase and Facebook dependent on different versions of Rudder

Can I have both Rudder Facebook and Firebase at the same time?
Facebook depends on Rudder version 1 and Firebase on version 2, I installed both together. but Rudder Facebook has an error with Rudder 2.2.7
