.net Maui iOS BundleResource Missing / Not Working

Description

For firebase services the the “GoogleService-Info.plist” file build action has to be set as “BundleResource”. The build action is not available in the visual studio selecten and also does not work when setting in the project file:

    <ItemGroup>
      <BundleResource  Include="Platforms\iOS\GoogleService-Info.plist" />
    </ItemGroup>

The following errror occurs when “Firebase.Core.App.Configure()” is called: ObjCRuntime.ObjCException: 'Objective-C exception thrown. Name: com.firebase.core Reason: FirebaseApp.configure() could not find a valid GoogleService-Info.plist in your project. Please download one from https://console.firebase.google.com/. Native stack trace:

Steps to Reproduce

1. dotnet new maui
2. Install nuget Xamarin.Firebase.iOS.CloudMessaging
3. Add GoogleService-Info.plist file to Platforms/iOS
4. Try to set build action
5. Call Firebase.Core.App.Configure(); in AppDelegate

    public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication application, NSDictionary launchOptions)
    {
        Firebase.Core.App.Configure();
        return base.FinishedLaunching(application, launchOptions);
    }

Did you find any workaround?

Yes the configuration can be set in code

Firebase.Core.App.Configure(new Options("1:7..4:ios:8..7", "7..4")
{
	ApiKey = "A.._W.._8.._g",
	ClientId = "...apps.googleusercontent.com",
	BundleId = "<<BUNDLE-ID>>",
	ProjectId = "<<ProjectId>>"
});

@PureWeen you moved the issue to xamarin but it works fine in xamarin forms.

The bundleResource is also required for the localization:

  <ItemGroup>
    <BundleResource Include="Resources\en.lproj\InfoPlist.strings" />
    <BundleResource Include="Resources\en.lproj\Localizable.strings" />
  </ItemGroup>

I believe the issue should be re-opened.

The BundleResource Build Action is available for net6.0-ios projects:

The build action is just not available for the MAUI projects.
