GoogleUtilities provides a set of utilities for Firebase and other Google SDKs for Apple platform development.
The utilities are not directly supported for non-Google library usage.
These instructions apply to minor and patch version updates. Major versions need a customized adaptation.
After the CI is green:
- Determine the next version for release by checking the tagged releases. Ensure that the next release version keeps the Swift PM and CocoaPods versions in sync.
- Verify that the releasing version is the latest entry in the CHANGELOG.md, updating it if necessary.
- Update the version in the podspec to match the latest entry in the CHANGELOG.md
- Checkout the
main
branch and ensure it is up to dategit checkout main git pull
- Add the CocoaPods tag (
{version}
will be the latest version in the podspec)git tag CocoaPods-{version} git push origin CocoaPods-{version}
- Push the podspec to the designated repo
-
If this version of GoogleUtilities is intended to launch before or with the next Firebase release:
Push to SpecsStaging
pod repo push --skip-tests staging GoogleUtilities.podspec
If the command fails with
Unable to find the 'staging' repo.
, add the staging repo with:pod repo add staging git@github.com:firebase/SpecsStaging.git
-
Otherwise:
Push to SpecsDev
pod repo push --skip-tests dev GoogleUtilities.podspec
If the command fails with
Unable to find the 'dev' repo.
, add the dev repo with:pod repo add dev git@github.com:firebase/SpecsDev.git
-
- Run Firebase CI by waiting until next nightly or adding a PR that touches
Gemfile
. - On google3, run copybara using the command below. Then, start a global TAP on the generated CL. Deflake as needed.
third_party/firebase/ios/Releases/run_copy_bara.py --directory GoogleUtilities --branch main
The release process is as follows:
- Tag and release for Swift PM
- Publish to CocoaPods
- Create GitHub Release
- Perform post release cleanup
By creating and pushing a tag for Swift PM, the newly tagged version will be immediately released for public use. Given this, please verify the intended time of release for Swift PM.
- Add a version tag for Swift PM
git tag {version}
git push origin {version}
Note: Ensure that any inflight PRs that depend on the new GoogleUtilities
version are updated to point to the
newly tagged version rather than a checksum.
-
Publish the newly versioned pod to CocoaPods
It's recommended to point to the
GoogleUtilities.podspec
instaging
to make sure the correct spec is being published.pod trunk push ~/.cocoapods/repos/staging/GoogleUtilities/{version}/GoogleUtilities.podspec
Note: In some cases, it may be acceptable to
pod trunk push
with the--skip-tests
flag. Please double check with the maintainers before doing so.The pod push was successful if the above command logs:
🚀 GoogleUtilities ({version}) successfully published
. In addition, a new commit that publishes the new version (co-authored by CocoaPodsAtGoogle) should appear in the CocoaPods specs repo. Last, the latest version should be displayed on GoogleUtilities's CocoaPods page.
Update the release template's Tag version and Release title fields with the latest version. In addition, reference the Release Notes in the release's description.
See this release for an example.
Don't forget to perform the post release cleanup!
Clean up SpecsStaging
pwd=$(pwd)
mkdir -p /tmp/release-cleanup && cd $_
git clone git@github.com:firebase/SpecsStaging.git
cd SpecsStaging/
git rm -rf GoogleUtilities/
git commit -m "Post publish cleanup"
git push origin master
rm -rf /tmp/release-cleanup
cd $pwd
To develop in this repository, ensure that you have at least the following software:
- Xcode 12.0 (or later)
- CocoaPods 1.10.0 (or later)
- CocoaPods generate
For the pod that you want to develop:
pod gen GoogleUtilities.podspec --local-sources=./ --auto-open --platforms=ios
Note: If the CocoaPods cache is out of date, you may need to run
pod repo update
before the pod gen
command.
Note: Set the --platforms
option to macos
or tvos
to develop/test for
those platforms. Since 10.2, Xcode does not properly handle multi-platform
CocoaPods workspaces.
pod gen GoogleUtilities.podspec --local-sources=./ --auto-open --platforms=ios
