Firebase AI Logic

  • Firebase AI Logic now supports the usage of limited-use tokens with Firebase App Check for Swift, Android, Web, and Flutter apps. These limited-use tokens are required for an upcoming optional feature called replay protection. We recommend enabling the usage of limited-use tokens now so that when replay protection becomes available, you can enable it sooner because more of your users will be on versions of your app that send limited-use tokens.

Firebase AI Logic

  • We've renamed and repackaged our "Vertex AI in Firebase" services into Vertex AI in Firebase to better reflect our expanded services and features — for example, we now support the Gemini Developer API!

    • If you're already using the libraries with the old name, you can continue to use them — all existing versions will continue to work as they do now. We strongly encourage you, though, to migrate to the newly named libraries because all new development and features will only be in these newly named libraries.

    • With this renaming, we're also launching several new features (described below). And check out our blog post about Vertex AI in Firebase.

  • You can now choose a "Gemini API" provider to securely access Google's generative AI models directly from your mobile and web apps. You can choose the long-available Vertex AI Gemini API or now the Gemini Developer API, which provides a no-cost tier with reasonable rate limits and quotas. Learn more about the differences between the two API providers.

  • We now offer a client SDK for Unity that supports Gemini models as well as the bidirectional streaming Gemini Live API. You can build AI features in your games like new forms of player interaction (both voice and image input), responsive and evolving game worlds, and personalized experiences. Learn how to get started with Unity.

  • Our client SDK for Web offers experimental access to hybrid and on-device inference for web apps running on Chrome on desktop. This configuration allows your app to use the on-device model when it's available, but fall back seamlessly to the cloud-hosted model when needed.

  • We now support image generation using a Gemini model (in addition to the existing capability to generate images using Imagen). Documentation and samples are coming soon for this feature!

  • You can now monitor your requests to Gemini models when you're using the Vertex AI Gemini API. AI monitoring in the Firebase console helps you observe various app-level metrics and usage to gain comprehensive visibility into your requests from the Firebase AI Logic SDKs.

  • All newly provisioned Cloud Storage for Firebase default buckets will have the name format of PROJECT_ID.firebasestorage.app (instead of PROJECT_ID.appspot.com). These buckets will follow Google Cloud Storage pricing and usage which provides an "Always Free" tier for buckets in US-CENTRAL1, US-EAST1, and US-WEST1.

  • All existing *.appspot.com default buckets will experience no changes right now. However, note that by October 1, 2025, all Firebase projects must be on the pay-as-you-go Blaze pricing plan to continue using Cloud Storage for Firebase.

  • The Cloud Storage for Firebase REST endpoint projects.defaultBucket.create now provisions default buckets with the name format of PROJECT_ID.firebasestorage.app. Also, using this API now requires the pay-as-you-go Blaze pricing plan.

  • The following REST endpoints from the Firebase Management API are now decommissioned and will return 404 errors:

Cloud Functions

Version v6.0.0 of the Firebase SDK for Cloud Functions contains breaking changes that may affect some apps. Review these release notes carefully to avoid issues or outages.

Additionally, v6.0.0 introduces new features and bug fixes, and starts a one-year deprecation clock for runtime environment configuration with functions.config.

  • Breaking: Cloud Functions for Firebase now defaults to 2nd gen.

    Previously, functions that do not explicitly specify a version when importing the SDK were interpreted as 1st gen. As of v6.0.0, such functions are interpreted as 2nd gen, and if they are written using 1st gen syntax they are likely to fail to deploy.

    To work around potential deployment issues, make sure that all 1st gen functions explicitly import the version-specific subpackage firebase-functions/v1.

    However, the recommended solution for all 1st gen functions is to upgrade to 2nd gen as described in Upgrade 1st gen Node.js functions to 2nd gen. 2nd gen functions are based on Cloud Run functions, providing better performance, better configuration, better monitoring, and more.

  • Runtime environment configuration with functions.config is deprecated as of September 5, 2024, and will no longer be supported after the next major version of Cloud Functions. You are strongly recommended to migrate to environment variables.

  • Thanks to enhancements released just prior to v6, the Local Emulator Suite now supports emulation of Firebase alert triggers and task queue functions. See specific guidance on how to interact with Firebase alerts and how to instrument your app for task queue functions emulation.

Crashlytics

  • For Android apps, Crashlytics can now help you debug crashes caused by native memory errors by collecting GWP-ASan reports. These memory-related errors can be associated with memory corruption within your app, which is the leading cause of app security vulnerabilities.

    • You can view this data in a new "Memory stack traces" tab when you click into an issue's details in the Crashlytics dashboard.

    • You can also use the new "GWP-ASan report" signal and filter to quickly view all issues with this data.

    To take advantage of these new features, make sure your app has GWP-ASan explicitly enabled and uses the latest Crashlytics SDK for NDK (v18.3.6+ or Firebase BoM v31.3.0+).

    To learn more about App Distribution alerts, see Receive alerts, and check out an example of handling an App Distribution alert event.

Crashlytics

  • Crashlytics now lets you set up customized alerting to third-party services using Cloud Functions for Firebase. For example, you can write a function that captures an alert event for velocity alerts and posts the alert information to a third-party service, like Discord, Slack, or Jira.

    In comparison to the console-configured integrations with Slack, Jira, or PagerDuty, with this advanced alerting mechanism you can fully customize the information sent to the third-party service. For example, you can include custom fields, helpful deep-links into the Firebase console, or add company-specific troubleshooting information.

    To learn more about advanced alerts, see Set up advanced alerting to third-party services, and check out an example of handling a Crashlytics alert event.

Cloud Firestore

  • Cloud Firestore client apps for Apple platforms (SDK version 9.6.0), Android (SDK version 24.1.0), and web (SDK version 9.9.2) can load local query index configurations to speed up offline queries, exactly as server-side indexes do for online queries. This feature is available as a developer preview, so the functionality might change in backward-incompatible ways.

Cloud Functions for Firebase

The Firebase SDK for Cloud Functions v4.0.0 includes enhancements, new feature support, and deprecations/removals of support for some features. Some of these updates can be considered breaking changes for some apps.

  • Deprecated allowInvalidAppCheckToken option. Instead use enforceAppCheck.

    App Check enforcement on callable functions is disabled by default in v4. Requests containing invalid App Check tokens won't be denied unless you explicitly enable App Check enforcement using the new enforceAppCheck option. Furthermore, when enforcement is enabled, callable functions will deny all requests without App Check tokens.

  • Dropped support for Node.js versions 8, 10, and 12.

  • Dropped support for Admin SDK versions 8 and 9. Update with npm install firebase-admin@latest --save.

  • Dropped support for Firebase Test SDK for Cloud Functions version 2. Update with npm install firebase-functions-test@latest --save.

  • Removed the functions.handler namespace.

  • Removed __trigger object on function handlers. See PR 1150.

  • The Realtime Database DataSnapshot passed to the Realtime Database trigger now matches the DataSnapshot returned by the Admin SDK, with null values removed. See PR #926.

  • Logs created with the functions.logger package in 2nd gen functions are now annotated with each request's trace ID, making it easy to correlate log entries with the incoming request. Trace IDs are especially useful for cases where 2nd gen's concurrency feature permits a function to handle multiple requests at any given time. See Correlate log entries to learn more.

  • functions.logger.error now always outputs an error object and is included in Google Cloud Error Reporting. See PR #1141.

  • The logging severity of Auth/App Check token validation has changed from info to debug level.

  • Event parameters for 2nd generation functions are now strongly typed, permitting stronger TypeScript types for matched parameters.

  • Reorganized source code location. This affects only apps that directly import files instead of using the recommend entry points specified in the package exports. See PR 1149.

  • Reworked the apps library and Removed lodash as a runtime dependency. See PR 1144.

  • This release introduces 2nd-gen beta support for these background triggers:

  • This release introduces parameterized configuration for environment configuration, providing strongly typed configuration that is available both at runtime and deploy time.

  • This release introduces mechanisms to help resolve potential conflicting function configuration. See Set runtime options.

Remote Config

  • Previously, Remote Config personalizations optimized user experience based on the number of times a custom or built-in Google Analytics event triggered (event count). Now, you can choose whether to use event count or, if the parameter value contains data in int, double, or float format, you can optimize for the aggregated sum of the event parameter value you specify.

    For example, for a custom Analytics event like spend_virtual_currency, you can configure a Remote Config personalization that optimizes for the total amount spent instead of the number of times a user spends virtual currency.

    For more information, see Configure parameter personalization in the Firebase console.

Performance Monitoring

  • Performance Monitoring replaced the Top Issues field with Recent alerts in the Performance card on Project home. This is a follow-up to our recent introduction of alerts, which automatically notify you when the thresholds you configured are exceeded.

Release Notes Roundup

Even as the updates to Firebase for Google I/O are getting finished all around us, there are still many non-I/O launches coming out, too. Here are some of our favorites from the past few weeks:

  • 🧾 Connect to Merchant Center to improve ecommerce reporting
    In the latest releases of our Analytics SDKs for Apple and Android platforms, you can integrate Google Merchant Center with Analytics from your ecommerce app. This is especially important when tracking conversion events that result from organic-search clicks, so upgrade today.
  • 🗂 Faster offline queries with Firestore
    The Firestore SDKs for Android and JavaScript now use a different format for the local cache that is used for offline queries, which increases the performance of local document lookups. This requires updating the existing cached data, which happens automatically upon the first run of the app with the upgraded SDK. You can also clear the cache before you enable disk persistence, to then have it rebuild with the new format from scratch.
  • 🕹 Games SDKs now retry file uploads to Cloud Storage on desktop
    Our SDKs for Unity and C++ now automatically retry uploading files to Cloud Storage if the upload fails on desktop platforms. Get this feature just by upgrading to the latest SDK version.

Release Notes Roundup

We're working on some big releases for Google I/O, but we still have lots of other updates going out every week. The highlights from the past weeks are:

  • 🏃 Fix for "IDBIndex is not defined runtime exception"
    Our JavaScript SDKs used a version of IDB that doesn't support ESM outside of browser environments. In version 9.6.9 of our JavaScript SDKs, we replaced that dependency with in-house code to fix this issue in Analytics, App Check, Cloud Messaging, Performance Monitoring, and Remote Config.
  • 🚰 Improved memory usage of Android Auth SDK
    We addressed an issue in our Android SDK for Firebase Authentication that was causing memory issues for some users. This was a pretty involved rewrite, so upgrade today and keep an eye out for any regression problems.
  • 🔐 Improved security rules API in emulator suite
    We've improved the handling of security rules in our emulator for Cloud Storage to allow specifying multiple rules files. You can always check for the latest updates to our emulators in the list of releases on GitHub.

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, spring will start soon, and the Firebase team has already been pushing out some great updates in anticipation:

  • 📦 Simplified permission management for App Distribution
    We've simplified how you manage release permissions in App Distribution for your tester groups. Read the release note below for more on this 👇.
  • 🏎 Performance Monitoring Android SDK launch time improvement
    We've reduced the impact of using Firebase Performance Monitoring on Android application startup time by more than 35% (42ms -> 26 ms). Read all about it in this blog post.
  • 📑 Explicitly type Cloud Firestore documents in Swift
    You can now explicitly specify the type for DocumentReference.getDocument(as:) and DocumentSnapshot.data(as:) calls in Swift to simplify mapping between documents and objects in your code. For more details, see Issue #9101 in the GitHub repo.

So many great updates have been coming out in the past few weeks, and these are some of our favorites:

  • 🛑 Regressed issues are now labeled in Crashlytics
    The Crashlytics dashboard now shows a red label for issues that were previously closed but have re-occurred, making it easy for you to filter and prioritize these regression issues in your apps.
  • 🌍 Faster time to first byte in Firebase Hosting
    We changed our infrastructure to use additional origin servers in Europe and Asia, which speeds up lookups from the edge caches that serve most content. This resulted in a 50% reduction in the time-to-first-byte for users who request fresh content.
  • 🙈 More secure headless sign-in flow for Firebase CLI
    In version 10.2 of the CLI we implemented a new flow for signing in from a remote machine, a virtual machine, or in a cloud-hosted IDE with the --no-localhost flag, leading to more secure sign-ins and a more Firebase-branded experience.

Release Notes Roundup

The engineering teams have been busy these past few weeks and releasing lots of great updates. These are some of our favorites:

  • 📏 Receive email alerts for more app performance problems
    In addition to alerts about app start time, you can now receive email alerts about performance problems in your app for network requests, page loading, and custom traces.

  • 🌁 Access Firestore in your Virtual Private Cloud
    You can now use Virtual Private Cloud to define a perimeter around Firestore , so that it can only be accessed from networks and devices that you configure. This reduces the risk that bad actors can access your database and other resources in your project.

  • 💰 Improvements to budget setup in the Firebase console
    When you upgrade your Firebase project to the paid plan, you're now prompted to immediately set up budget alerts. Budget alerts help you avoid surprises on your bill, so doing this right away is a Good Thing™️.

Release Notes Roundup

Happy new year everyone! We look forward to a year full of big and small releases from Firebase. Some highlights from the past few weeks:

  • 🔐 Auto-expiring security rules for Cloud Storage for Firebase
    When you create a new Cloud Storage bucket in a Firebase project, the default security rules for test mode now only grant access to untrusted clients for a month. This is the same policy we already had in place for Firestore and Realtime Database security rules, and should reduce the number of files that are accidentally left unprotected.

  • 💙 New translations for FirebaseUI for Flutter
    The latest release of the FlutterFire libraries adds Spanish, French, and Arabic resource strings to the Authentication UI widgets. There are also many other fixes in this FlutterFire release, so be sure to upgrade.

  • 👷 Improved auth persistence in web workers
    Version 9.6.2 of our JavaScript SDK for Authentication fixes an issue in the compatibility layer of our v9 JavaScript client. With this fix the client now persists your users' auth credentials when you signed them in via a web worker script.

This is the final roundup of 2021! Thanks everyone for keeping up with our releases for the past year. Here's to many more updates to Firebase in 2022. 🥂

  • 🐞 Better crash attribution to Kotlin code in Crashlytics
    Crashes are now correctly attributed to .kt files, if your app uses R8 with obfuscation turned on along with Android Gradle 4.2.0+. During this transition, you might see .kt issues that are duplicates of existing .java issues.
  • 🎟 Deploying Cloud Functions now cleans artifacts in more cases
    Version 9.23.1 of the Firebase CLI corrects a bug where containers in Artifact Registry would not be deleted if a function has an uppercase character in its name.
    And version 10 of the CLI is also out, and with this release, the Cloud Functions runtime defaults to Node.js 16.
  • 👌 Fixed NullPointerException in Analytics
    We updated to newer versions of play-services-base and play-services-tasks to solve an issue with NullPointerExceptions when handling Task<Void> results in Kotlin code. Upgrade to BoM v29.0.3 to get this fix, and others.

Release Notes Roundup

With the Firebase Summit well in our rear-view mirror, we are back to releasing a steady stream of updates. Here are some of our favorites from the past few weeks:

  • 🗄 Download bytes and files in JavaScript from Cloud Storage securely
    In JavaScript code, you could always get a file from Storage through a download URL, which makes the file readable to everyone with that URL. Since JavaScript SDK version 9.5, you can also get the data with the new getBytes(), getStream() and getBlob() methods, allowing you to control access through security rules.
  • ⛽️ Understanding aggregated FCM delivery data
    When you use Firebase Cloud Messaging, understanding message delivery is key to running effective re-engagement campaigns. In this article , a Firebase engineer explains strategies and common patterns when you look at the aggregated delivery data from FCM.
  • 🏛 App Analytics as part of Cloud Design Patterns
    We shipped a content pack "Faster Time-To-Value with Design Patterns" for Cloud customers to unlock the value of data projects at their organizations. Find out more about that here: video, blog post

We just finished the Firebase Summit this week with a keynote on Wednesday that was chock full of updates. If you prefer reading all the news, check out the blog post. But we have even more updates that didn't get into the keynote or blog! Read about those releases here 👇:

  • 💙 Get started with Flutter and Firebase with just a browser
    It's now easier than ever to get started building beautiful, serverless, cross-platform apps with Firebase and Flutter. Thanks to DartPad (Flutter's online editor), you can skip the setup and get started by opening dartpad.dev and importing the Firebase packages. Or check out this simple chat app.
  • 🤫 Securely store secrets for Firebase Extensions
    If Extensions use configuration values that should stay secret, such as third-party API keys and passwords, they can now store those in Cloud Secret Manager. We're migrating all our official extensions to use secrets for their sensitive parameters.
  • 🔍 Search Firestore with an Elastic App Search extension
    This extension launched at Cloud Next and indexes and syncs the documents from a Cloud Firestore collection to an Elastic App Search deployment. See the product/installation page, or the code for more info.
  • 📪 Unaccepted invitations from App Distribution expire after 30 days
    Invitations to test releases that are sent from App Distribution will now automatically expire if they are not accepted within 30 days. This declutters the Firebase console for your project, and frees up slots for other testers.
  • 📺 Personalize content with Remote Config (beta)
    The personalization feature in Remote Config that we announced at Google I/O is now in beta. Personalization automatically optimizes individual user experiences to maximize your app's results through the power of machine learning.

Release Notes Roundup

Just one more week until the Firebase Summit keynote, so the releases are pouring in already. Here are some of the highlights from the past few weeks:

  • 💳 FirebaseUI for Web now uses v9 SDK
    Great news for devs who want to ship smaller apps easily: the latest FirebaseUI for the web release is built on top of the modular v9 JavaScript SDK. This means that your JavaScript bundler may now only include code from the Authentication SDK in the build when that code is actually used in either FirebaseUI or your app, leading to smaller apps for your users.

  • 📫 ESM module support leads to smaller Admin apps
    The latest Admin SDK now exposes a series of ES module entry points, just like our v9 JavaScript SDK does. Importing the Admin SDK APIs from these entry points leads to smaller apps, as only the parts of the code you actually use will be loaded. Refer to the migration guide for details on how to update your existing code to use the new ES module entry points.

  • 😶‍🌫️ Sign in to Firebase on iOS with Facebook Limited Login
    You can now use Facebook Limited Login instead of "classic" Facebook Login to sign in to Firebase Authentication from iOS. When you use Facebook Limited Login, information from logins will not be used to personalize or measure advertising effectiveness. Wanna know more? Check the docs.
