[Unity] google-services.json is found, but error in Play Mode

[John Smith]

So I have just reloaded my configs into the Assets folder (for iOS and Android). My firebase plugin sees this config file when in Edit Mode, but when I hit Play Mode I still get the error below and firebase acts like he didn't see it. And when I go back to Edit Mode, it finds it again. What is that?

Hi John,

Which version of Firebase Unity SDK are you using now?

To be clear, you encounter the problem when play in editor, correct?

I do notice that the text on Firebase panel changed when play in editor but that should not prevent Firebase SDK from loading the config.

Also please try the following steps:

1. Remove your iOS and Android config from your project.

2. Remove google-services-desktop.json under Assets/StreamingAssets/

3. Re-add your iOS and Android config.

Hi John,

This seems to be a bug from our side.  The fix will be included in our next release.

At the mean time, you can do the following:

1. Close Firebase Window

2. To properly generate  google-services-desktop.json, try to switch to different platform, ex. desktop, and switch back to Android.

Please let us know if this fixes your issue.
