Current behavior

Hi, we're using Capacitor and adding support for Sign in with Apple + Google to our app.

My podfile has the following in the base capacitor_pods:

  pod 'CapacitorFirebaseAuthentication', :path => '../../../node_modules/@capacitor-firebase/authentication'

It also has the following in our 'app-dev' flavor / scheme, under the 'add pods here' as per the docs:

  pod 'CapacitorFirebaseAuthentication/Google', :path => '../../../node_modules/@capacitor-firebase/authentication'

Building and running the app locally with Capacitor CLI works fine, as does XCode.

However on Ionic Appflow CI (where we do our production builds), I get the following issue:

[06:44:28]: ▸ ❌ error: Multiple commands produce '/Users/ionic-cloud-team/<some/path>/CapacitorFirebaseAuthentication.framework/CapacitorFirebaseAuthentication'

[06:44:28]: ▸ ⚠️ duplicate

I have tried taking out the pod 'CapacitorFirebaseAuthentication/Google' line, but then signing in with Google no-longer works.

I cannot take out the main pod 'CapacitorFirebaseAuthentication' line because npx cap sync will regenerate it.

Expected behavior

That the build would not fail on Appflow, when it works ok locally.

Reproduction

TBD (see comment below)

Steps to reproduce

We run the build on Ionic Appflow, it fails after a few minutes

Hello, for this one — it's going to take a while for me to put together a minimal repro with schemes that will work with e.g. Appflow's free plan, and then to document how to set up the Appflow schemes / variants

Before I embark on this, I'd love to hear if you've run into this before or whether there's a simple Podfile solve.

I'm googling a bunch and I might be missing something simple here

Please show me your Podfile.

Thank you.

Here it is — the pod 'CapacitorFirebaseAuthentication' is added automatically by npx cap sync / update

The pod 'CapacitorFirebaseAuthentication/Google one is me adding it to the app-dev target specifically.

Thanks, your Podfile is fine. If it works locally but not in Appflow, then I would report this to the Appflow team. There must be some difference between your local build environment and the Appflow build environment.

I am building an app myself via Appflow that uses this plugin and the last build a month ago was successful. Nothing has changed in the plugin since then.

For this reason, I am closing this issue for the time being. If it turns out that the plugin is at fault, I will open it again.

Alex Treppass · Answer 5 · Mon Apr 15 2024 16:11:33 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Thank you for the context.

Do you / did you use specific targets / variants with your latest app? Or is it just the one build?

Robin Genz · Answer 6 · Mon Apr 15 2024 16:19:35 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

No, i don't use any specific targets/variants.

Alex Treppass · Answer 7 · Tue Apr 16 2024 07:58:11 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Happy to report I figured it out. Leaving this here for future explorers.

The issue was that the main capacitor_pods section had the root "CapacitorFirebaseAuthentication" pod, and the app-dev flavour had only the "CapacitorFirebaseAuthentication/Google" pod.

I wanted to see if it would work if it was de-duped and both pods present in the target, and confirmed this by manually crafting a podfile here, which worked.

Now, running npx cap update or npx cap sync re-adds the duplicate root pod back to capacitor_pods, even though it's already in firebase_pods, but we can live with that.
