What's inside firebase-ios-sdk

  8. Understand Firebase Auth Thread Safety

    main
    The Firebase Auth library is designed to be thread-safe, meaning developers can call any public method from any thread at any time. To maintain this safety, the library uses internal synchronization mechanisms to prevent race conditions. While end-users do not need to manage these locks, understanding that the library handles concurrency internally helps in understanding why certain methods behave asynchronously or return on the main thread.

  9. Understand the Firebase Interop (Component) System

    main

    Firebase uses a dependency injection system called 'Interop' to allow different Firebase frameworks to depend on each other's functionality without requiring a direct dependency on the entire product.

    Key concepts:

    • Protocol-based dependency: Framework B depends on functionality provided by Framework A via a shared protocol (e.g., AInterop).
    • Decoupling: Framework B only knows about the protocol, not the concrete implementation class of A.
    • Type-safe interfaces: Dependencies are declared on the interface version rather than the product version.
    • Optionality: The system allows for simulating optional dependencies that only function when the implementing product is included in the project.

  10. Quickstart with the Firebase AI SDK

    main

    To get started with the Firebase AI SDK, you can use the official quickstart sample project located in the quickstart-ios repository. This sample provides a practical implementation guide to help you integrate Firebase AI capabilities into your iOS application.

  11. Set up Podspec presubmit tests in SDK workflows

    main

    To ensure podspecs are releasable, you can implement a podspec-presubmit job in your GitHub Actions workflows. This job runs pod spec lint against specific remote sources to validate the podspec before merging.

    Note: It is discouraged to include changes to multiple podspecs (and their dependencies) in a single PR, as this may cause presubmit tests to fail due to the way remote sources are tested.

    podspec-presubmit:
  if: github.repository == 'Firebase/firebase-ios-sdk' && github.event.pull_request.merged != true && github.event.action != 'closed'
  runs-on: macOS-latest
  steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: ruby/setup-ruby@359bebbc29cbe6c87da6bc9ea3bc930432750108
    with:
      ruby-version: '3.4.1'
  - name: Setup Bundler
    run: scripts/setup_bundler.sh
  - name: Build and test
    run: scripts/third_party/travis/retry.sh pod spec lint FirebaseDatabase.podspec --skip-tests --sources='https://github.com/firebase/SpecsTesting','https://github.com/firebase/SpecsDev.git','https://github.com/firebase/SpecsStaging.git','https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'

  12. Import headers within the same library

    main

    When importing headers within the same library, use repo-relative paths for all header types.

    Exception: Public header imports from other public headers within the same library should use an unqualified import to avoid public module collisions.

    #import "publicHeader.h"
