Guidance Required for Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics Integration in .NET MAUI (.NET 10)

In my case, adding an extra argument to the csproj file works.

I have four property groups in my csproj file based on platform and mode (debug or release).

Therefore, following this pattern, in the property group for iOS Release, I have these arguments

<FirebaseCrashlyticsUploadSymbolsEnabled>True</FirebaseCrashlyticsUploadSymbolsEnabled>
<FirebaseCrashlyticsUploadSymbolsContinueOnError>False</FirebaseCrashlyticsUploadSymbolsContinueOnError>
<MtouchExtraArgs>$(MtouchExtraArgs) -gcc_flags="-Wl,-exported_symbol,__mh_execute_header"</MtouchExtraArgs>

I hope it works for you!

Hi @Reka Ravi ,

Thank you for reaching out.

Is it currently supported to use these Firebase-related packages with .NET 10 MAUI applications?

Yes, it can be used in practice, but it’s not officially supported by Microsoft if you’re using third‑party plugins. .NET MAUI 10 itself is supported by Microsoft, but Firebase Analytics/Crashlytics integration is not a first‑party MAUI feature

Are Xamarin.Firebase or Plugin.Firebase packages compatible with .NET 10?

• With Xamarin.Firebase: Xamarin as a product line is end-of-support. That doesn’t instantly break the NuGets, but it may hit platform-policy problems. I would not recommend using this.
• With Plugin.Firebase: I recommend using this but with caveats. It is actively maintained. Minimum .NET version raised to .NET 9, but explicitly works on .NET 10.

While this is a non-microsoft link, it's an official link of Nuget and it's safe to visit.

Is there a recommended or official approach for integrating Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics in .NET MAUI (especially for .NET10)?

There is no single official Microsoft-provided Firebase Analytics/Crashlytics SDK for MAUI. But they also provide guidance to use MAUI’s ability to bind/call native libraries if you need Firebase.

Are there any additional configuration steps that we might be missing?

I recommend some additional steps:

• You need one single package name everywhere. If these don’t match perfectly, Firebase will treat your app as “a different app” and data won’t appear.
• Put google-services.json in the correct place and set the correct Build Action. It's put in Platforms/Android/google-services.json and then set in Visual Studio properties: Build Action = GoogleServicesJson.
• Make sure you initialize Firebase early. Most Firebase wrappers require an explicit initialization call during app startup. If you don’t initialize, calls like “LogEvent” can run but do nothing.

In MauiProgram.cs:

   public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
   {
       var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
       // ... 

       CrossFirebase.Initialize(); 

       return builder.Build();
   }

Hope this helps. If you found my response helpful or informative, I would greatly appreciate it if you could follow this guidance provide feedback. Thank you.
