Summary

When launching a build in a CI environment (or on a local machine, tested with macOS) with eas build --local and a package that requires a google services file (both google-services.json or GoogleService-Info.plist) to be used the build errors out when reading/parsing the file.

This can be a problem for packages like expo-firebase-core, expo-notifications and all the ones that require a google services file to be used.

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

I made an example project with SDK 45 and a GitHub action that installs the required packages for eas --local to work. This project was a standard expo init to which I added expo-firebase-core.

As for best practice, the google services files are provided via an eas-build-pre-install hook which parses the base64 content of an environment variable containing the encoded services files. Of course, when I run the local build on my MacBook they're in the path specified in app.json

The decoding strategy above is proven to be working in a cloud build here for android

The GitHub action has been taken from this project: https://github.com/byCedric/eas-gha

This is the example project: https://github.com/zaniluca/eas-local-build-google-services-error

And here if you visit this workflow run you can see the error thrown when building. both for an iOS and Android build

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

secrets do not work with local builds, you will need to set GOOGLE_SERVICES_IOS_BASE64 and GOOGLE_SERVICES_ANDROID_BASE64 in your shell

zaniluca · 2022-08-08T08:54:03Z

secrets do not work with local builds, you will need to set GOOGLE_SERVICES_IOS_BASE64 and GOOGLE_SERVICES_ANDROID_BASE64 in your shell

@wkozyra95 But even with the files in my local directory (so that I don't have to do the decoding of GOOGLE_SERVICES_IOS_BASE64 and GOOGLE_SERVICES_ANDROID_BASE64 ), if I run eas build --local i get the same error

The error output I added in Local iOS Error is the result of building a local project with both services files in the directory they're supposed to be, or the build wouldn't even start because the cli would complain that i don' have the files specified in app.json

// app.json
{
  "expo": {
    ...
    "ios": {
      ...
      "googleServicesFile": "./GoogleService-Info.plist",
    },
    "android": {
      "googleServicesFile": "./google-services.json",
      ...
    },
  }
}

So I don't think its just a problem with the secrets not being processed by eas build --local

wkozyra95 · 2022-08-08T09:03:43Z

when running local builds the same rules apply as for cloud builds, gitignored files are not part of the build

@wkozyra95 oh ok thank you! so if I want to make this work how can I do it? is there a way to make these files included by eas without committing them to git?

Also trying to build without having them ignored doesn't seem to work

wkozyra95 · 2022-08-08T09:30:02Z

if I want to make this work how can I do it?

Just set those envs in the shell

Is there a way to make these files included by eas without committing them to git?

You can do it using .easignore file, but I don't recommend it https://github.com/expo/fyi/blob/main/eas-build-archive.md

Also trying to build without having them ignored doesn't seem to work

You probably still have that hook in package JSON that overrides the files. echo $GOOGLE_SERVICES_ANDROID_BASE64 | base64 --decode > ./google-services.json creates empty file if env is not set.

@wkozyra95 Thank you again! now this works great!

Hey Wojciech,
Rodrigo here. I'm trying to do the same as OP: do a local eas build and also leverage Expo secrets when doing a cloud build.

Setup

In my app.config.js I have:

export default {
   ...
   ios: {
      googleServicesFile: process.env.GOOGLE_SERVICES_PLIST,
   }
   ...
}

Which I have on Expo as a secret:

Question: can you please clarify the discrepancy of the value being a file path vs a file and how that differs between local and cloud builds?

Trying to run `eas build --local`

In my .env, I have:

export GOOGLE_SERVICES_PLIST="googleServices/GoogleService-Info.plist"

I can tell the local build picks that up from the .env because of the build error:

[PREBUILD] Error: [ios.xcodeproj]: withIosXcodeprojBaseMod: ENOENT: no such file or directory, copyfile '/private/var/folders/jy/kb50bcvs0_v3fdgnbrmyw7fr0000gn/T/eas-build-local-nodejs/831efb7c-ab59-405e-92ac-b798cc304a63/build/googleServices/GoogleService-Info.plist' -> '/private/var/folders/jy/kb50bcvs0_v3fdgnbrmyw7fr0000gn/T/eas-build-local-nodejs/831efb7c-ab59-405e-92ac-b798cc304a63/build/ios/MyApp/GoogleService-Info.plist'
[PREBUILD] Error: [ios.xcodeproj]: withIosXcodeprojBaseMod: ENOENT: no such file or directory, copyfile '/private/var/folders/jy/kb50bcvs0_v3fdgnbrmyw7fr0000gn/T/eas-build-local-nodejs/831efb7c-ab59-405e-92ac-b798cc304a63/build/googleServices/GoogleService-Info.plist' -> '/private/var/folders/jy/kb50bcvs0_v3fdgnbrmyw7fr0000gn/T/eas-build-local-nodejs/831efb7c-ab59-405e-92ac-b798cc304a63/build/ios/MyApp/GoogleService-Info.plist'
[PREBUILD]     at Object.copyFileSync (node:fs:2969:3)
[PREBUILD]     at setGoogleServicesFile (/private/var/folders/jy/kb50bcvs0_v3fdgnbrmyw7fr0000gn/T/eas-build-local-nodejs/831efb7c-ab59-405e-92ac-b798cc304a63/build/node_modules/@expo/config-plugins/build/ios/Google.js:127:17)

You can see that the error message includes the file path defined in the .env. However, it doesn't find the files because the root is not my project root (e.g. /private/var/folders/jy/kb50bcvs0_v3fdgnbrmyw7fr0000gn/T/eas-build-local-nodejs/be9be592-a40b-4057-a335-33b37af70ced/build).

If I remove it from the .env, I get a different error:

[PREBUILD] Error: [ios.xcodeproj]: withIosXcodeprojBaseMod: Path to GoogleService-Info.plist is not defined. Please specify the `expo.ios.googleServicesFile` field in app.json.
[PREBUILD] Error: [ios.xcodeproj]: withIosXcodeprojBaseMod: Path to GoogleService-Info.plist is not defined. Please specify the `expo.ios.googleServicesFile` field in app.json.

So, I tried the following:

GOOGLE_SERVICES_PLIST=$(base64 -i googleServices/GoogleService-Info.plist)

But that had no effect and I still got that last error.

Summary

There are three pieces here that need to fit together:

Local builds don't use cloud secrets so we have to rely on local secrets (i.e. .env)
The cloud secret is a file, while the local secret is a path
The local build picks up the file path in .env but there is nothing in that because it appears to have a different root

Thanks Wojciech

Solution

Edit: It looks like setting the GOOGLE_SERVICES_PLIST to the absolute path does the trick.

e.g:

export GOOGLE_SERVICES_JSON="/Users/rodrigo/Documents/MyApp/googleServices/google-services.json"
export GOOGLE_SERVICES_PLIST="/Users/rodrigo/Documents/MyApp/googleServices/GoogleService-Info.plist"

Not sure whether the base64 string is even needed here, although my environment might be slightly different than OP's.

Edit 2: this doesn't fully solve my problem though because I need this to run in Github Actions. Ideally I would store the file as a base64 encoded string as a secret on Github, but that doesn't appear to work, as mentioned above.

Any suggestions?

Edit 3: Disregard. I got it working. The answer was staring me in the face, but there are many moving pieces here. I'll leave this comment as a bread trail for anyone who encounters a similar issue.

I may put together a guide for this.

Edit 4: I actually did put a guide together for this

anhtuan219 · 2024-08-30T15:38:54Z

Here's what I'm using

For cloud build (eas build), follow this guide in expo docs. Upload google-services.json to eas secret to be used by cloud build

For local build (eas build --local, expo run:android), before running local build, export path file google-services.json to environment variables, that variable will be used for process.env.GOOGLE_SERVICES_JSON instead of eas secret

export GOOGLE_SERVICES_JSON="./google-services.json" && npx expo prebuild --platform android --clean && npx expo run:android

anhtuan219 · 2024-10-07T15:42:28Z

Updated: the path of google-services.json for expo run:android and expo run:ios is different from the path of google-services.json for eas build --local
