Installation

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-inappmessaging

Use variables IOS_FIREBASE_POD_VERSION and ANDROID_FIREBASE_BOM_VERSION to override dependency versions for Firebase SDKs:

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-inappmessaging \
    --variable IOS_FIREBASE_POD_VERSION="9.3.0" \
    --variable ANDROID_FIREBASE_BOM_VERSION="30.3.1"

Disabling automatic data collection

By default, Firebase In-App Messaging automatically delivers messages to all app users you target in messaging campaigns. To deliver those messages, the Firebase In-App Messaging SDK uses Firebase installation IDs to identify each user's app. This means that In-App Messaging has to send client data, linked to the installation ID, to Firebase servers. If you'd like to give users more control over the data they send, disable automatic data collection and give them a chance to approve data sharing.

Set variable AUTOMATIC_DATA_COLLECTION_ENABLED to false to prevent collecting any user data:

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-inappmessaging \
    --variable AUTOMATIC_DATA_COLLECTION_ENABLED=false

Later you can re-enable automatic data collection (for instance after getting end-user consent) using method setAutomaticDataCollectionEnabled. Once you set a data collection preference manually, the value persists through app restarts, overriding the value in your AndroidManifest.xml. If you'd like to disable initialization again, for example if a user opts out of collection later, pass false to the setAutomaticDataCollectionEnabled method.

Adding required configuration files

Cordova supports resource-file tag for easy copying resources files. Firebase SDK requires google-services.json on Android and GoogleService-Info.plist on iOS platforms.

1. Put google-services.json and/or GoogleService-Info.plist into the root directory of your Cordova project
2. Add new tag for Android platform

<platform name="android">
    ...
    <resource-file src="google-services.json" target="app/google-services.json" />
</platform>
...
<platform name="ios">
    ...
    <resource-file src="GoogleService-Info.plist" />
</platform>

This way config files will be copied on cordova prepare step.
