Flutterfire: [flutter_auth_web]: Not working on iOS (?)

[Ahmadre]

Describe the bug
After importing flutter_auth and flutter_auth_web and I try to run it on iOS, I get following weird error:

Launching lib/main.dart on iPhone 11 Pro in debug mode...

Expected behavior
Flutter Auth Web should not try to pull a cocoapod...

[Ahmadre]

I solve it by deleting ../.flutter-plugins entry for flutter_auth_web. Maybe someone here can disable that symlink

I solved it by using firebase dart implementation.

I solved it by using firebase dart implementation.

Can you please elaborate more on this and kindly provide a code example. Thank you

[hterkelsen]

I need to add a fake podspec to firebase_auth_web so we don't break iOS. I will do that today

[Ahmadre]

@emailsubjekt Sure :), just follow this repo:

https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/firebase-dart

and use this pub:

https://pub.dev/packages/firebase

I solved it by separating my project in: VM and WEB project. Before that I got a boolean: isBrowser with which I identified, if Flutter is running on web or vm. But I can't use this package neither, because it broke not only iOS but also Android. And I need solutions now, because we use it in production. But I got tons of solutions. At the end I would build my own wrapper, but that's not the solution ^^

By the way: Thank you sooo much flutterfire team for your packages here for VM! I love them :)

better solution for a clean software-architecture would be to introduce modularization in Flutter. But that's another topic

[collinjackson]

I think that this is resolved now, but let me know if I'm mistaken.
