Answer 1

Make sure that the file is in your {Project}.iOS build and that the file is exactly called "GoogleService-Info.plist". Also be sure that you set the build action of the "GoogleService-Info.plist" file to: BundleResource

For a full tutorial take a look at: https://components.xamarin.com/gettingstarted/firebaseioscloudmessaging (this is a link for cloud messages but the first part is the same for all firebase services)

Answer 2

In Visual Studio for Windows,

Include the GoogleService-Info.plist file in the IOs project root,

Then right click on the GoogleService-Info.plist file and go to Properties. Under Properties, set BundleResource for Build Action,

That's all you have to do 😉. Now just clean the project, delete the bin and obj directories, then run the project 😊
