"'isDeveloperModeEnabled' is deprecated: This no longer needs to be set during development. " What is isDeveloperModeEnabled used for

Question

As a part of upgrading the code base to Swift5, I have updated Firebase pod in my project. After that i started getting warning as below.

isDeveloperModeEnabled is deprecated: This no longer needs to be set during development. Refer to documentation for additional details..

Can somebody explain what is the alternative way to resolve this issue

remoteConfig = RemoteConfig.remoteConfig()

let conSettings = RemoteConfigSettings(developerModeEnabled: true)

if TargetBuild.isProd {

   remoteConfig.configSettings = RemoteConfigSettings()

} else if settings.isDeveloperModeEnabled {

    remoteConfig.configSettings = conSettings

} else {
    print("Could not set config settings")
}

i need to resolve the warning on above code. This was an existing codebase. When i did a global search, i didnt see this value getting used. somebody please help me

Answer 1

Old way:

let remoteConfigSettings = RemoteConfigSettings(developerModeEnabled: true)

New way:

let remoteConfigSettings = RemoteConfigSettings()
remoteConfigSettings.minimumFetchInterval = 0

The iOS documentation does not yet mention that developerModeEnabled is deprecated, but an updated commented example can be found here: https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-ios/blob/master/config/ConfigExample/RemoteConfigViewController.swift#L57 (README here)

Answer 2

That config setting is deprecated.. With a simple google search..

https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/firebase/remoteconfig/FirebaseRemoteConfigSettings.html#getMinimumFetchIntervalInSeconds()

The docs say to use getMinimumFetchIntervalInSeconds() instead of isDeveloperModeEnabled().

Update -- Android docs say it is deprecated, iOS does not say anything about deprecating isDeveloperModeEnabled

If you are using Objective-C, you can solve the issue with:

FIRRemoteConfigSettings *remoteConfigSettings = [[FIRRemoteConfigSettings alloc] init];
[remoteConfigSettings setMinimumFetchInterval:0];
