Xamarin.iOS app project App doesn't recognize GoogleService-Info.plist
Make sure that the file is in your {Project}.iOS build and that the file is exactly called "GoogleService-Info.plist". Also be sure that you set the build action of the "GoogleService-Info.plist" file to: BundleResource
For a full tutorial take a look at: https://components.xamarin.com/gettingstarted/firebaseioscloudmessaging (this is a link for cloud messages but the first part is the same for all firebase services)
In Visual Studio for Windows,
Include the GoogleService-Info.plist file in the IOs project root,
Then right click on the GoogleService-Info.plist file and go to Properties. Under Properties, set BundleResource for Build Action,
That's all you have to do . Now just clean the project, delete the bin and obj directories, then run the project
- Open "GoogleService-Info.plist" and change any
<true></true> or <false></false>
to<true /> and <false />
- Reopen the xamarin solution
- It should work now, worked for me.
