Capacitor: Feature request: add cordova-plugin-firebase functionality

[DavidStrausz]

The cordova-version of the plugin does not work with capacitor because the implementation relies on extending AppDelegate (there are probably more issues but that was the first show-stopper I encountered).
I've seen that the Messaging (push-notification) part is handled in another issue (#380 ), so I will limit this one to the remaining functionality:

• Analytics
• RemoteConfig
• Auth
• Crash

At least for our apps (and most probably other enterprise apps) Analytics and RemoteConfig are two very essential parts and it would be nice to see them integrated along with the push-notifaction plugin.

I was looking for a solution and did this, I can now track Analytics in Firebase.
I'm using the Firebase Analytics plugin.

1. Add the Firebase SDK to your capacitor ios project with pods
2. Add 'import' firebase to AppDelegate.swift:

import FirebaseCore
import FirebaseAnalytics
import FirebaseInstanceID

And this for FirebaseAnalyticsPlugin.m file (inside Pods):

@import FirebaseCore;
@import FirebaseAnalytics;
@import FirebaseInstanceID;

1. Add FirebaseApp.configure() to didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
2. Add GoogleService-Info.plist file from Firebase to 'App' folder in xcode

Now it's working :)

Hi, is there any update on this? I can't seem to get the above working. It still says 'module "Firebase"' or "module 'FirebaseCore'" not found.
