Firebase-ios-sdk: Publish links to zip archives of old releases

[jaschaio]

Hey there,
I am using the Firebase SDK together with react-native-firebase.

Unfortunately it seems that the latest version 5.0.0 incoporated some breaking changes and I am still required to use 4.13.0 instead.

On the Add Firebase to your iOS Project Guide Page is a download link to the SDK under the Integrate without CocoaPods Section. But unfortunately it downloads always the latest version and gives no option to download previous ones. I wasn't able to find a download link to previous versions anywhere else.

In this github repro under Releases is a download Link to 4.13.0 but it seems to differ significant to the download referenced in the Guide as it only contains a sub-section of the source.

Where can I get the complete 4.13.0 Firebase for iOS SDK from?

Thanks

Finnally found the download link for 4.13.0: https://dl.google.com/firebase/sdk/ios/4_13_0/Firebase-4.13.0.zip

Would be great to have the previous versions linked somewhere within the official google docs for people who integrate without cocoapods or other package managers. For example here: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/releases

Rome is an alternative way to access binary frameworks from any release.

Starting with 5.14.0, we've started publishing the zip file as a GitHub Release, which should help for finding previous releases.

In order to find releases older than 5.14.0, you can currently use this format for our download URLs:

https://dl.google.com/firebase/sdk/ios/<MAJOR>_<MINOR>_<PATCH>/Firebase-<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>.zip

For example, 5.0.1 would be https://dl.google.com/firebase/sdk/ios/5_0_1/Firebase-5.0.1.zip.

As Paul mentioned, you can also use Rome to access binary frameworks from any release.

Thanks for the suggestion @jaschaio!
