Firebase Remote Config with Namespace

Question

The Firebase API for RemoteConfig has several methods for assigning config values by namespace, eg (setDefaults(R.xml.rc_defaults, "Namespace")). I've got this to work in terms of separating config values by namespace on Android, but how to do I set those values by namespace on the Firebase Console for remote updating?

Answer 1

I work on Firebase Remote Config team.

As Safa mentioned, Namespaces were only designed for internal usage & are not meant for setting user assigned values. We have begun the process of deprecating the namespace usage from the SDK. Hence I would request not to use them in production code.

We are working on introducing namespaces via another mechanism. Will update this thread once that's ready.

Thanks!

I experienced the same problem with you. So, I asked google Firebase team.

Here's the reply mail.

Hi there, Sorry for the late reply. Currently we don't have any custom namespace feature available. However, we are aware of the use case and we are actively working on it but I can't share any timelines at the moment.

Keep an eye out on our release notes for any further updates.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks
