Note: This is a fork of the excellent capacitor-firebase by Robin Genz. We are deeply grateful for Robin's pioneering work on these plugins.

This fork is maintained by the Capgo team and requested by our clients with a focus on automatically releasing new versions whenever Firebase SDKs are updated, ensuring users always have access to the latest Firebase features and fixes through automated releases via Renovate.

Capawesome bump Firebase SDK usually on major update once a year as stated here, we always bump and recommend you to use fix version when you use our fork, to not get breaking Native SDK changes without wanting it

What's Different in This Fork?

This fork differs from the original cap-go/capacitor-firebase in its release philosophy:

Release Cadence

• Original (Capgo): Releases approximately once per year, typically aligned with major Capacitor version updates
• This Fork (Capgo): Automatically releases new versions whenever Firebase releases updates to their iOS, Android, or Web SDKs

Key Benefits

• Always Latest Firebase SDKs: Powered by Renovate, which monitors Firebase SDK releases and automatically creates new plugin versions
• Faster Access to Features: Get the latest Firebase features and bug fixes without waiting months for the next major release
• Continuous Updates: No need to wait for Capacitor major versions to get Firebase SDK updates

We maintain full compatibility with the original plugins while ensuring you're always on the cutting edge of Firebase technology. This means more frequent releases focused on keeping Firebase SDKs up-to-date, rather than the annual release cycle of the original.
