Cordova-plugin-firebase: When google-services.json already exists in platforms/android it wont install

[Scombr0]

Apparently it tries to create a new emtpy google-services.json on install, but when you already have google-services.json in your platforms/android directory it won't install.

Command was via cordova: ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase on an ionic1 project.

Not hard to solve, just enter platforms/android and delete google-services.json.

But I think plugin should check for existence of google-services.json and do nothing in that case.

Cheers!

I will take a PR to fix this. sort of related: https://github.com/arnesson/cordova-plugin-firebase/pull/391 it could be moved to the prepare hook

[gregor-srdic]

[janstrbik]

I am having same issue, I am using bitrise.io for building my ionic app and I have exactly same issue:

Failed to install 'cordova-plugin-firebase': CordovaError: Uh oh!
...platforms/android/google-services.json" already exists!

But there is always clean build.. How can I solve this issue?
