[Bug] Database URL required in Google Services config files.

See original GitHub issue

[REQUIRED] Please fill in the following fields:

Unity editor version: 2020.3.2f1
Firebase Unity SDK version: 7.1.0
Source you installed the SDK: .unitypackage
Problematic Firebase Component: All
Other Firebase Components in use: Any
Additional SDKs you are using: google-signin-unity
Platform you are using the Unity editor on: Mac
Platform you are targeting: iOS, debugging via Editor
Scripting Runtime: Mono

[REQUIRED] Please describe the issue here:

In order to generate google-services-desktop.json, one must have google-services.json. It does not seem to auto-generate from GoogleService-Info.plist.

Steps to reproduce:

Follow instructions here, but only for iOS and not for Android builds: https://firebase.google.com/docs/unity/setup#register-app
Build any demo app for iPhone. Note that it works fine.
Run the same app in the editor by hitting the play button. You will get errors that google-services.json is not found.

Workaround: register an Android app, add google-services.json to Assets.

I am not sure if this is a bug, or the documentation should be updated to reflect this. (Or if I did something else wrong and this workaround shouldn’t have been necessary.)

Relevant Code:

N/A - not a code problem

I’m going to re-open this issue and mark it as a bug to track it internally. There was a time when all of the Firebase Console Google Service files had a default DATABASE_URL entry, but now they are optional. We need to go through the Firebase C++ and Unity SDKs to remove any assumptions that these strings exist.

Sorry for the back and forth – when triaging this issue we realized that it’s a Duplicate of #946 . I’m going to close this issue as a duplicate since #946 has more information about how we might fix it. Thanks for the report!
