Firebase Remote Config App Version condition

Question

The Firebase Remote Config App version condition seems to be ignored. I've made the following setup to play around with my current development version:

xCode Version setup:

Firebase Remote Config Condition setup:

FIRRemoteConfig won't return the right paramater values.

Answer 1

Its known bug - instead of version value FB uses the build value. The only possible workaround - to put the same value to build. So in your case it should be like "version: 1.1.8" and "build: 1.1.8". Or you could use the build value and keep the value updated with every app release.

Another option is you can add a "User Property" in Firebase like "app_version". Then when the app launches add the following code:

let version = Bundle.main.object(forInfoDictionaryKey: "CFBundleShortVersionString") as! String Analytics.setUserProperty(version, forName: "app_version")

You can then use this User Property in Remote Config as a condition and voila you can base some Remote Config value of of the version number. Note this will require the use of Firebase Analytics as well.
