Remote Config
Previously, Remote Config personalizations optimized user experience based on the number of times a custom or built-in Google Analytics event triggered (event count). Now, you can choose whether to use event count or, if the parameter value contains data in
int
,double
, orfloat
format, you can optimize for the aggregated sum of the event parameter value you specify.For example, for a custom Analytics event like
spend_virtual_currency
, you can configure a Remote Config personalization that optimizes for the total amount spent instead of the number of times a user spends virtual currency.For more information, see Configure parameter personalization in the Firebase console.

Release Notes Roundup
Even as the updates to Firebase for Google I/O are getting finished all around us, there are still many non-I/O launches coming out, too. Here are some of our favorites from the past few weeks:
- 🧾 Connect to Merchant Center to improve ecommerce reporting
In the latest releases of our Analytics SDKs for Apple and Android platforms, you can integrate Google Merchant Center with Analytics from your ecommerce app. This is especially important when tracking conversion events that result from organic-search clicks, so upgrade today. - 🗂 Faster offline queries with Firestore
The Firestore SDKs for Android and JavaScript now use a different format for the local cache that is used for offline queries, which increases the performance of local document lookups. This requires updating the existing cached data, which happens automatically upon the first run of the app with the upgraded SDK. You can also clear the cache before you enable disk persistence, to then have it rebuild with the new format from scratch. - 🕹 Games SDKs now retry file uploads to Cloud Storage on desktop
Our SDKs for Unity and C++ now automatically retry uploading files to Cloud Storage if the upload fails on desktop platforms. Get this feature just by upgrading to the latest SDK version.

Release Notes Roundup
We're working on some big releases for Google I/O, but we still have lots of other updates going out every week. The highlights from the past weeks are:
- 🏃 Fix for "IDBIndex is not defined runtime exception"
Our JavaScript SDKs used a version of IDB that doesn't support ESM outside of browser environments. In version 9.6.9 of our JavaScript SDKs, we replaced that dependency with in-house code to fix this issue in Analytics, App Check, Cloud Messaging, Performance Monitoring, and Remote Config. - 🚰 Improved memory usage of Android Auth SDK
We addressed an issue in our Android SDK for Firebase Authentication that was causing memory issues for some users. This was a pretty involved rewrite, so upgrade today and keep an eye out for any regression problems. - 🔐 Improved security rules API in emulator suite
We've improved the handling of security rules in our emulator for Cloud Storage to allow specifying multiple rules files. You can always check for the latest updates to our emulators in the list of releases on GitHub.

Release Notes Roundup
So many great updates have been coming out in the past few weeks, and these are some of our favorites:
- 🛑 Regressed issues are now labeled in Crashlytics
The Crashlytics dashboard now shows a red label for issues that were previously closed but have re-occurred, making it easy for you to filter and prioritize these regression issues in your apps. - 🌍 Faster time to first byte in Firebase Hosting
We changed our infrastructure to use additional origin servers in Europe and Asia, which speeds up lookups from the edge caches that serve most content. This resulted in a 50% reduction in the time-to-first-byte for users who request fresh content. - 🙈 More secure headless sign-in flow for Firebase CLI
In version 10.2 of the CLI we implemented a new flow for signing in from a remote machine, a virtual machine, or in a cloud-hosted IDE with the--no-localhost
flag, leading to more secure sign-ins and a more Firebase-branded experience.

Release Notes Roundup
The engineering teams have been busy these past few weeks and releasing lots of great updates. These are some of our favorites:
📏 Receive email alerts for more app performance problems
In addition to alerts about app start time, you can now receive email alerts about performance problems in your app for network requests, page loading, and custom traces.🌁 Access Firestore in your Virtual Private Cloud
You can now use Virtual Private Cloud to define a perimeter around Firestore , so that it can only be accessed from networks and devices that you configure. This reduces the risk that bad actors can access your database and other resources in your project.💰 Improvements to budget setup in the Firebase console
When you upgrade your Firebase project to the paid plan, you're now prompted to immediately set up budget alerts. Budget alerts help you avoid surprises on your bill, so doing this right away is a Good Thing™️.

Release Notes Roundup
Happy new year everyone! We look forward to a year full of big and small releases from Firebase. Some highlights from the past few weeks:
🔐 Auto-expiring security rules for Cloud Storage for Firebase
When you create a new Cloud Storage bucket in a Firebase project, the default security rules for test mode now only grant access to untrusted clients for a month. This is the same policy we already had in place for Firestore and Realtime Database security rules, and should reduce the number of files that are accidentally left unprotected.💙 New translations for FirebaseUI for Flutter
The latest release of the FlutterFire libraries adds Spanish, French, and Arabic resource strings to the Authentication UI widgets. There are also many other fixes in this FlutterFire release, so be sure to upgrade.👷 Improved auth persistence in web workers
Version 9.6.2 of our JavaScript SDK for Authentication fixes an issue in the compatibility layer of our v9 JavaScript client. With this fix the client now persists your users' auth credentials when you signed them in via a web worker script.

Release Notes Roundup
We just finished the Firebase Summit this week with a keynote on Wednesday that was chock full of updates. If you prefer reading all the news, check out the blog post. But we have even more updates that didn't get into the keynote or blog! Read about those releases here 👇:
- 💙 Get started with Flutter and Firebase with just a browser
It's now easier than ever to get started building beautiful, serverless, cross-platform apps with Firebase and Flutter. Thanks to DartPad (Flutter's online editor), you can skip the setup and get started by opening dartpad.dev and importing the Firebase packages. Or check out this simple chat app. - 🤫 Securely store secrets for Firebase Extensions
If Extensions use configuration values that should stay secret, such as third-party API keys and passwords, they can now store those in Cloud Secret Manager. We're migrating all our official extensions to use secrets for their sensitive parameters. - 🔍 Search Firestore with an Elastic App Search extension
This extension launched at Cloud Next and indexes and syncs the documents from a Cloud Firestore collection to an Elastic App Search deployment. See the product/installation page, or the code for more info. - 📪 Unaccepted invitations from App Distribution expire after 30 days
Invitations to test releases that are sent from App Distribution will now automatically expire if they are not accepted within 30 days. This declutters the Firebase console for your project, and frees up slots for other testers. - 📺 Personalize content with Remote Config (beta)
The personalization feature in Remote Config that we announced at Google I/O is now in beta. Personalization automatically optimizes individual user experiences to maximize your app's results through the power of machine learning.

Release Notes Roundup
Just one more week until the Firebase Summit keynote, so the releases are pouring in already. Here are some of the highlights from the past few weeks:
💳 FirebaseUI for Web now uses v9 SDK
Great news for devs who want to ship smaller apps easily: the latest FirebaseUI for the web release is built on top of the modular v9 JavaScript SDK. This means that your JavaScript bundler may now only include code from the Authentication SDK in the build when that code is actually used in either FirebaseUI or your app, leading to smaller apps for your users.📫 ESM module support leads to smaller Admin apps
The latest Admin SDK now exposes a series of ES module entry points, just like our v9 JavaScript SDK does. Importing the Admin SDK APIs from these entry points leads to smaller apps, as only the parts of the code you actually use will be loaded. Refer to the migration guide for details on how to update your existing code to use the new ES module entry points.😶🌫️ Sign in to Firebase on iOS with Facebook Limited Login
You can now use Facebook Limited Login instead of "classic" Facebook Login to sign in to Firebase Authentication from iOS. When you use Facebook Limited Login, information from logins will not be used to personalize or measure advertising effectiveness. Wanna know more? Check the docs.

In the month since Google I/O, we've had many updates to Firebase. Let's look at some highlights:
🧹 Firebase CLI now deletes storage artifacts after Functions deployment
When you deploy Cloud Functions, it runs a build process that temporarily creates files in a Cloud Storage bucket in your project. The CLI now cleans up those artifacts once the deploy is completed, meaning you'll no longer see (typically $0.0x) charges from them on your Firebase bill.☎️ Accelerate your app development with 4 new Firebase Extensions
We released new Extensions to easily analyze sentiment in comments, to search Firestore content through Algolia, to manage marketing with Mailchimp, and to send messages to your users wherever they are with MessageBird.🕹 Load data from content bundles into Firestore for your C++ game
You can assemble data bundles from common query results on the backend using the Firebase Admin SDK, serve these pre-computed blobs cached on a CDN, and now load them in the C++ SDK cache with the newFirestore::LoadBundle
method.

Firebase Weekly Roundup
Many developers want to programmatically manage their Firebase projects, and this week we released two updates to make that easier:
Management API for Cloud Storage for Firebase
You can now manage the Storage buckets in your Firebase projects through a new REST API. Through this API, you can find out what buckets are part of your Firebase project and you can make existing Cloud Storage buckets available in Firebase or remove Firebase access from them. Read all about it in the documentation.

- The way you install and initialize the SDK has changed and most APIs have been renamed. When you decide to upgrade, please see the iOS Migration Guide, Web Migration Guide, or Android Migration Guide for details.
- Node.js / Java server SDKs:
- Token minting and verification for
Firebase Authentication is now built into the server SDKs themselves instead of
in separate token minting libraries.
- All of the existing authentication methods have been removed. Instead,
use the
databaseAuthVariableOverride
option (Node.js) orsetDatabaseAuthVariableOverride()
method (Java) when initializing the SDK. See here for more details. - Use the Web Migration Guide or Android Migration Guide to help you update your Node.js or Java code to the latest APIs.

- Token minting and verification for
Firebase Authentication is now built into the server SDKs themselves instead of
in separate token minting libraries.
- General:
- Limited profile data extracted from federated providers (e.g. doesn’t include the Twitter username).
- Workaround where possible, extract this information from the 3rd party SDKs.
- Firebase Android SDK:
FirebaseUser#linkWithCredential()
may invalidate a user's credentials.- Description: After calling
linkWithCredential()
with a credential that is not anEmailAuthCredential
, sometimes consecutive calls on the user object may throw an Exception:FirebaseException (An internal error has occurred. [ TOKEN_EXPIRED ])
. - Workaround Cache the credential used on a linking event, and if this
error is thrown, sign the user out after the linking and call
FirebaseAuth#signInWithCredential()
with the cached credential afterwards.
- Description: After calling
- Missing API to start email verification flow.
- Some Network exceptions are thrown as
FirebaseException
rather thanFirebaseNetworkException
.
- Firebase SDK for Apple platforms:
sendPasswordResetWithEmail:completion:
does not call the completion handler in the main thread as claimed.-
Workaround:
Objective-C
[[FIRAuth auth] sendPasswordResetWithEmail:@"user@host.domain" completion:^(NSError *_Nullable error) { dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ // original completion handler code. }); }];
Swift
FIRAuth.auth()?.sendPasswordResetWithEmail("user@host.domain") { error in dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) { // original completion handler code. } }
- API reference docs do not contain information about error conditions: see them here.
- Authentication state is shared between different apps when running on.
the iOS Simulator:
- Description: when running two or more applications that use Firebase Authentication on the same iOS simulator, there is a issue with the iOS keychain that causes the authentication state to be shared across the different applications. This means that if you sign in to an app, and later open a second app, you may find a user to be signed in into it.
- Workaround: either don't use two different applications with Authentication on the same simulator instance, or manually sign out from the applications between tests.
- Firebase JavaScript SDK:
- If you change the authdomain configuration of an app while some users are signed in, you have to sign them out and in again in order to use linkWithPopup/Redirect APIs

- Firebase console: Only project owners can update Firebase Security Rules for Cloud Storage, and only owners and editors can view Cloud Storage Security Rules.
FCM
Initial release of Cloud Messaging.
Firebase C++ SDK:
- Messages with both a notification and data payload are not delivered to an Android application open in the background.
- Description: On Android, when the app is open in the background and it receives a message with both a notification and data payload, the message is not delivered to the application.
- Workaround: In the application's activity, (e.g.
NativeActivity
), override theonNewIntent(Intent intent)
method and pass theintent
argument through to the methodsetIntent(Intent intent)
-
For example:
public class MyActivity extends NativeActivity { @Override onNewIntent(Intent intent) { setIntent(intent); } }
See the quickstart sample for an example of this workaround in action.
