Firebase Remote Config isDeveloperModeEnabled() is deprecated

Question

I'm trying to have a remote config parameter using the Remote Config feature of Firebase so I can get values from Firebase and use it in app. I already use it with no problem but after a Firebase update, I get this warning:

I tried to use getMinimumFetchIntervalInSeconds() instead of isDeveloperModeEnabled() in order to avoid the warning.

Here is my code:

final FirebaseRemoteConfig mFirebaseRemopteconfig = FirebaseRemoteConfig.getInstance();
long cachExpiration = 0;
if (mFirebaseRemopteconfig.getInfo().getConfigSettings().isDeveloperModeEnabled()) {
    cachExpiration = 0;
}
mFirebaseRemopteconfig.fetch(cachExpiration)
    .addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Void>() {
        @Override
        public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Void> task) {
            if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                final String funct = mFirebaseRemopteconfig.getString("functionn");
                if (getPackageName().compareTo(funct) != 0) {
                    finish();
                }
                mFirebaseRemopteconfig.activateFetched();
            }
        }
    });

Any idea how to solve this problem?

About setMinimumFetchIntervalInSeconds, it is officially said:

Keep in mind that this setting should be used for development only, not for an app running in production. If you're just testing your app with a small 10-person development team, you are unlikely to hit the hourly service-side quota limits. But if you pushed your app out to thousands of test users with a very low minimum fetch interval, your app would probably hit this quota.

Although you can setMinimumFetchIntervalInSeconds other than the default value (= 12 hours), it's all up to you about whether it would hit the quota or not, and may lead to FirebaseRemoteConfigFetchThrottledException.

Now, the new API requires you to setMinimumFetchIntervalInSeconds for altering the interval. It is a method of FirebaseRemoteConfigSettings.Builder. So you must build a FirebaseRemoteConfigSettings object through the builder after setMinimumFetchIntervalInSeconds, and then setConfigSettingsAsync the built FirebaseRemoteConfigSettings to your FirebaseRemoteConfig.

Here is an example of my own implementation:

if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
    cacheExpiration = 0;
} else {
    cacheExpiration = 43200L; // 12 hours same as the default value
}

FirebaseRemoteConfigSettings configSettings = new FirebaseRemoteConfigSettings
        .Builder()
        .setMinimumFetchIntervalInSeconds(cacheExpiration)
        .build();

config = FirebaseRemoteConfig.getInstance();
config.setConfigSettingsAsync(configSettings);
config.fetch(cacheExpiration).addOnCompleteListener(activity, onCompleteListener);

For your porpose

checking if package name is the same

you don't need isDeveloperModeEnabled() or any interval settings. Just fetch() without any settings (but with default settings):

mFirebaseRemopteconfig = FirebaseRemoteConfig.getInstance();
mFirebaseRemopteconfig.fetch()
    .addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Void>() {
        @Override
        public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Void> task) {
            if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                final String funct = mFirebaseRemopteconfig.getString("functionn");
                if (getPackageName().compareTo(funct) != 0) {
                    finish();
                }
                mFirebaseRemopteconfig.activateFetched();
            }
        }
    });

please how to bring the value functionn which is in my firebase ? can you write the whole code for me please .that code is cheking if package name is the same that i enter in firebase if not app will crash .i do that to prevent people reverse engering my app — saalgu, Apr 30 '20 at 00:22
