[question] firebase-core function initializeAppWithPath(path) for Android

Hello,

I am trying to load a different firebase configuration per environment. I figured that using the initializeAppWithPath() I could point to the Google Services config files for dev and prod for Android and iOS.

For iOS It worked out of the box using the path res://, it points to the App_Resource/iOS folder.

However, for android I do not seem to be able to load the google-services.json at all.

I tried with path res://, ~/ and resolving the path myself and I always get the error firebase.init error: Error: com.tns.NativeScriptException: Failed to find module: "/data/data/com.nativescript/files/app/firebase/dev/google-services.json", relative to: app/

Would you guys be so kind and provide some examples for Android on to which folder the paths res://, ~/ point in the code base?

I am using Angular flavor.

Best

Start by tracing the initializeAppWithPath(path) entry point and how Android resolves google-services.json, then compare that behavior with the working iOS res:// path. Check whether the Android path examples can be determined from the project; done means providing verified Android path guidance or identifying a reproducible loading fix.
