A.3. Add the SDK

Add the SDK

If you would like to integrate any of the Firebase ANEs into your AIR app, the first thing you should do is to download and implement the firebaseCore.ane in your app. If you are new to implementing ANEs into AdobeAIR projects, this playlist on YouTube should help you.

Every Firebase ANE is dependent on some other different ANEs or iOS Frameworks. These dependencies are explained in details in this document.

Note1: When adding an ANE dependency to your project, you don't need to initialize it in your AS3 code. All you have to make sure of is that the dependency ANEs are embedded in your project.

Note2: Dependency Frameworks for the iOS side, must be copied to your AdobeAIR SDK to the following path: "yourAirSDK\lib\aot\stub"

Note3: Some Firebase child ANEs (Firestore) have additional iOS resource files. These resources are mentioned in this document. you need to copy them to the root of your project next to your main .swf file. Which is accessible from File.applicationDirectory.

NOTE4: If you think configuring Firebase ANEs are time-consuming or confusing, which we also think they are, we suggest you to take a look at the ANELAB Software. We have developed this tool to automate all the hard work required for ANE implementations.

After you correctly added the core Firebase ANE, you can add any other features which the required setup for each of them will be explained individually in their own documentation.
