If using CocoaPods for Apple platforms, the project's Podfile.lock

Expand Podfile.lock snippet

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Hey @UnwindGamesDeveloper, sorry for the delayed response here. Could you share with me what Firebase products are you using? Also is there any chance you could share steps to reproduce the behavior or a minimal reproducible example? It'll help speed up our investigation. Thanks!

HI @argzdev , It's been a while , so haven't updated firebase sdk since (still on 12.4.1).
We are using only Analytics and Crashlytics.

What we want is to control the initialization of firebase (in our unity game )from C# side. Hence, wanted to remove node from manifest like this:

<provider android:name="com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider" android:authorities="${applicationId}.firebaseinitprovider" tools:node="remove" />

And on unity side , somthing like this:

            `if (dependencyStatus == DependencyStatus.Available)
            {

#if SOME_PREPROCESSOR
AppOptions options = null;

                options = new AppOptions
                {
                    ApiKey = "OurKey"
                    AppId = "123456789",
                    ProjectId = "project-id"
                };


                firebaseApp = FirebaseApp.Create(options);
                
                Crashlytics.ReportUncaughtExceptionsAsFatal = true;

#endif

            }`

When doing this at runtime we were getting this exception :
