I recently added Flutter Flavors to my Flutter project because I wanted production, staging, and development environments. I also wanted different Firebase projects for each flavor so I created a config folder with their own each individual folder for each Firebase Project GoogleService-Info.plist files
I also added this Build Phase Script in the Runner Target –
environment="default"
# Regex to extract the scheme name from the Build Configuration
# We have named our Build Configurations as Debug-dev, Debug-prod etc.
# Here, dev and prod are the scheme names. This kind of naming is required by Flutter for flavors to work.
# We are using the $CONFIGURATION variable available in the XCode build environment to extract
# the environment (or flavor)
# For eg.
# If CONFIGURATION="Debug-prod", then environment will get set to "prod".
if [[ $CONFIGURATION =~ -([^-]*)$ ]]; then
environment=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
fi
echo $environment
# Name and path of the resource we're copying
GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PLIST=GoogleService-Info.plist
GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_FILE=${PROJECT_DIR}/config/${environment}/${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PLIST}
# Make sure GoogleService-Info.plist exists
echo "Looking for ${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_PLIST} in ${GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_FILE}"
if [ ! -f $GOOGLESERVICE_INFO_FILE ]
then
echo "No GoogleService-Info.plist found. Please ensure it's in the proper directory."
exit 1
fi
Located here in the Build Phases (the script called ‘Copy GoogleService-Info.plist to the correct location’
I know that these files are not getting used because I have another GoogleService-Info.plist from before I was using Flutter Flavors and only had one Firebase Account.
When I delete the original GoogleService-Info.plist (Not the one’s from the config file) my flutter project complains that it cannot find the GoogleService-Info.plist file. Not sure why this is happening.
I followed this

I think you missed adding explicitly

config
folder to Xcode, to do that, open your iOS folder and drag your ‘config‘ folder into your Xcode (just under the top Runner), then make sure it only creates folder references like this:Then you must see your Xcode navigator like this:

Then after that, you can simply remove the original GoogleService-Info.plist and your app without issue.
There is an issue in your script, please replace your shell script with this:
I struggled a lot with this problem, and this was the tutorial that worked best for me: https://demmss.medium.com/creating-development-environments-for-firebase-using-the-very-good-flutterfire-clis-in-flutter-250eba52bd4d
In XCode:
GoogleService-Info.plist
files somewhere in XCode, like so:Configuration Settings
Files in the Flutter folder for each flavor (and release/debug optionally). Note: make sure the files are physically in the Flutter folder and not just in the same Group.xcconfig
files:Info.plist
, add a new key value pair exactly like so:These steps worked for me and I was able to see the
GoogleService-Info.plist
file copied correctly after each build. You can verify by adding--verbose
to your launch configuration and searching for theecho
output in the debug console of your IDE.In the final step, initialize your firebase app with the proper FirebaseOptions in your app startup. I like this implementation inspired by Coding With Andrea:
