How to debug Firebase on iOS AdHoc build

Question

The only way to debug Firebase is to pass -FIRAnalyticsDebugEnabled on arguments passed on launch.

It's working in debug mode with my iOS device connected but I would like to deploy an AdHoc build so QA can test it without Xcode.

But it seems arguments aren't passed at launch when Xcode archives a build.

Any solution? Thanks.

Answer 1

I found hack solution for this, try it in your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: or override AppDelegate’s init:

Objective-C:

NSMutableArray *newArguments = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:[[NSProcessInfo processInfo] arguments]]; [newArguments addObject:@"-FIRDebugEnabled"]; [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] setValue:[newArguments copy] forKey:@"arguments"]; 

Swift:

var newArguments = ProcessInfo.processInfo.arguments newArguments.append("-FIRDebugEnabled") ProcessInfo.processInfo.setValue(newArguments, forKey: "arguments") 

Answer 2

Just some additions to the most upped answer: I would do something like this

#if DEBUG      var newArguments = ProcessInfo.processInfo.arguments         newArguments.append("-FIRDebugEnabled")         ProcessInfo.processInfo.setValue(newArguments, forKey: "arguments") #endif 

to keep it to debug. This takes that you set up -DDEBUG in "Other Swift Flags" in Build Settings. (you need to set this for the Debug value, of course.

And then remember to put the code snippet BEFORE you initialize Firebase :-)
