[russellwheatley]

React Native Firebase AI - Template Models & Live API

New Features

Template Models

• getTemplateGenerativeModel(ai, requestOptions?) - Execute server-side Gemini templates with streaming support
• getTemplateImagenModel(ai, requestOptions?) - Execute server-side Imagen templates for image generation
• TemplateGenerativeModel - Class for template-based text generation
• TemplateImagenModel - Class for template-based image generation

Live API

• getLiveGenerativeModel(ai, modelParams) - Create real-time bidirectional AI sessions
• LiveGenerativeModel - Class for live generative AI interactions
• LiveSession - Bidirectional streaming session with send/receive methods
• WebSocket-based real-time communication with the Gemini 2.0 Live API

Cursor Rules

• Cursor rules now for doing a comparison of the firebase-js-sdk and react native firebase AI package to find API gaps. Requires having firebase-js-sdk codebase locally. To run the discovery of missing API:

Follow @porting-workflow.md

Firebase JS SDK location: <PATH TO FIREBASE JS SDK>

Start at Step 1: Discovery

Fixes

• Fixed issues with running manual test app. AuthMFADemonstrator had a few issues that caused crash when running.

My fault sorry. And just bit me when I went to test something

[mikehardy]

Wow, this PR is monstrous huge 😅 - not bad in and of itself there is no other way to do it, just wow.

That said, it does all look good - as a port should.
CI is passing which is good but for some reason functions is failing for me locally e2e iOS for some reason. I need to figure that out before merging this in for release

[mikehardy]

Okay - I think it was likely something about the polyfills or something, after a git clean -d -x -f and \rm -fr ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData then reinstalling everything, it worked.

Likely the real solution was clearing metro bundler cache on startup, anyway, android and ios pass clean locally for me now

[mikehardy]

I almost merged then remembered something:

I believe the last thing you need to do @russellwheatley is add the attribution? This was the last block you had but it bears examination if this is still the set of authors
