Firebase with Flutter

In Flutter, if you're integrating Firebase or any other libraries that require the BuildConfig class in your Android project, you may need to ensure that the buildConfig feature is enabled in your Android project’s configuration. This is especially needed when using some Firebase services or other plugins that refer to BuildConfig variables.


Enabling buildConfig in build.gradle

To enable BuildConfig, you need to modify the build.gradle file in your Android project:

  1. Open the android/app/build.gradle file.
  2. Inside the android block, make sure the buildFeatures section is included, with buildConfig set to true:
android {
    compileSdkVersion 33

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.myflutterapp"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 33
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }

    buildFeatures {
        buildConfig = true  // This ensures that BuildConfig class is generated.
    }

    // Other configurations...
}

Why Enable buildConfig?

  1. BuildConfig class usage:
    Firebase and other plugins may rely on constants or configuration values from BuildConfig, like:

    if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
        Log.d("MyApp", "Debug mode enabled");
    }
    
  2. Avoid Build Errors:
    Some libraries might throw errors if the BuildConfig class is not generated, such as:

    Cannot access 'BuildConfig': it is private in 'com.example.myflutterapp'
    

Rebuild the Project

After making changes to the build.gradle file, it’s good practice to clean and rebuild the project to ensure everything is configured correctly.

  1. Run the following commands in the terminal:
    flutter clean
    flutter pub get
    flutter run
    

This configuration ensures that the BuildConfig class is generated correctly, avoiding potential build issues and enabling plugins that rely on it to function properly.
