Meaning of google services info keys

[jesus-mg-ios]

Hi, recently I downloaded a google service info plist again and I saw a mismatch between values, searching on google about the meaning of the keys didn't clear me anything, is something very confusing.

Would be great to know which keys are required for iOS and MacOS, because the new plist has more keys than before.

So if @ncooke3 could clarify all of them and say if they are required or not, and the affectation to include or not inside the configure would be great.

• CLIENT_ID
• REVERSED_CLIENT_ID
• API_KEY
• GCM_SENDER_ID
• PLIST_VERSION
• BUNDLE_ID
• PROJECT_ID
• STORAGE_BUCKET
• IS_ADS_ENABLED
• IS_ANALYTICS_ENABLED
• IS_APPINVITE_ENABLED
• IS_GCM_ENABLED
• IS_SIGNIN_ENABLED
• GOOGLE_APP_ID
• DATABASE_URL

Some info with questions unresolved by @ncooke3 , maybe it's time to clarify them and clean up unneeded keys, for now, no reading them if they are not needed

firebase-ios-sdk/docs/FirebaseOptionsPerProduct.md

Line 58 in 31defd7

* IS_APPINVITE_ENABLED

So we can assure these values for version 10.25.0 are not needed on the property list for the right SDK work. Isn't it?

[ncooke3]

That's correct.

@ncooke3 Are there any tasks related to remove those keys from firebase console plist for iOS?

[ncooke3]

Yes, improvements to the config files are being investigated across all the platforms (iOS, Android, etc.). There should be more news to come in 2025.
