Shit... got the same problem, can't update firebase because we are using GitHub to store the project, CppApp.so file is way to big!

[Zarkend]

Same here ;(

Hi guys, I do have solution for now is that I gitignore the so and meta file, then export it as unitypackage and distribute among the programmer

[cometa93]

We did enable LFS support for entire project, but still it's not a good option. If someone do not have premium account it will not be able to continue development with githbub or firebase.

[estellise-yukihime]

Got the same problem also.

Forgive me for asking but is the FirebaseCppApp.so needed if I'm only using the firebase database and nothing else?.

[stewartmiles]

FirebaseCppApp.so is Firebase's C++ implementation for all components on Linux desktop. If you're not running the editor on Linux or compiling for Linux, you can remove it to workaround the issue.

@stewartmiles I also have the same issue and I've removed this file, but even though I'm on Windows desktop I still see errors in console about missing so file. I had to add ifdefs to skip any firebase-related runtime code from compilation in editor to avoid errors when playing in editor.

Worked on Mac just fine. Thanks
Edit: Could removing this issue cause perhaps some issues on Android build?

[zaneclaes]

I ran into this problem because I am building to target Linux x86_64. I was able to solve it using git lfs track [filepath] (and then git lfs pull on the build machine).

I think it's good idea to have firebase unitypackage with only iOS/Android dependencies for mobile devs

I agree 100%! @stewartmiles Is anything like this in the works? 😄

Does removing this will give us any problem later on?
For me, i'm only going to build this using Android/IOS.

[EDIT]
tried it in the editor i haven't seen any error
made a build in android, i didn't see any error

^This solution is the best solution if you're not using Linux to build your games.

[wilczarzgit]

I am getting this error too (240MB!)
FirebaseCppApp-6_14_0.so is 242.71 MB; this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB
If I'm on Mac and building for iOS / Android, am I safe to delete this file too?

EDIT: It turns out the application crashes without this file (both in Unity editor and iphone). All I can do is remove Firebase from my project. Shame on you Google :(

Half a year later and the file is now 200mb in size... still too large for Git.

That's how they force us to migrate to UPM Firebase installation

[phobos2077]

@stopiccot I'm planning to migrate to UPM installation in future. But the other option is to use git lfs :)

[chkuang-g]

Hi folks,

You should be able to install Firebase through UPM now (and it is FUN!)
In this case, you can just checkin Packages/manifest.json
