🚀 [firebase_analytics] Swift Package Manager needs to have a way to use FirebaseAnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport

[inceptusp]

There is no way to replace the SPM dependency for FirebaseAnalytics with FirebaseAnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport as the first is added automatically by SPM because firebase_analytics describes that it depends on FirebaseAnalytics...

let package = Package(
  name: "firebase_analytics",
  platforms: [
    .iOS("15.0"),
  ],
  products: [
    .library(name: "firebase-analytics", targets: ["firebase_analytics"]),
  ],
  dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk", from: firebase_sdk_version),
    .package(url: "https://github.com/firebase/flutterfire", exact: shared_spm_version),
  ],
  targets: [
    .target(
      name: "firebase_analytics",
      dependencies: [
        .product(name: "FirebaseAnalytics", package: "firebase-ios-sdk"),                            <====
        // Wrapper dependency
        .product(name: "firebase-core-shared", package: "flutterfire"),
      ],
      resources: [
        .process("Resources"),
      ]
    ),
  ]
)

The native docs states that we should add the FirebaseAnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport instead of the other one, but that is not how we do native deps in flutter... the package selects the native dependency...

I was migrating my project to SPM when stumbled on this, because it uses AnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport... 😕
Until now, I was using cocoapods and the old documented way to change the platform dependency to FirebaseAnalyticsWithoutAdIdSupport...

But with SPM I am not seeing a way to do it.....

Hey, thanks for reporting — fix is on the way!

You'll be able to set an environment variable to switch the dependency:

FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_WITHOUT_ADID=true flutter build ios

Or set FIREBASE_ANALYTICS_WITHOUT_ADID in your Xcode scheme's environment variables for persistent configuration.

@Lyokone when this will be available?
