Firebase package not showing in Package Manager

Unity Engine

Hi all ! Unity 2019.4.11f1 here!

I’ve been encountering this issue a couple of times lately and I really need to solve this. I can import the Firebase Database and Auth packages using Assets > import package > custom package path, but when I try to do so through the package manager it shows all the firebase .unitypackage grey’ed out and I can’t add them.

Interestingly after import through the first method, even tho everything went fine during the import the package doesnt show within Package Manager. There is no “Google LLC” section either. For those who ask, my package manager’s set to “In Project” and “Show Preview Packages” is on.

Any ideas as to what might cause this?

I’m also having this problem. FOllowing…

As you’re talking about a .unitypackage file, which means it’s an asset, it’s normal that you do not see it in the In Project tab.

The “Google LLC” section is for scoped registries, i.e. the google registry (https://unityregistry-pa.googleapis.com).

This may be due to some confusion here between Google’s Scoped Registry packages and some Firebase assets (.unitypackage files) available in the Asset Store. This situation should be improved as we work on improving the Package Manager with the Asset Store to avoid this issue coming up.

When I import the older firebase unity sdk 6.16.1 it DOES import under the package manager as expected. However, it gets stuck near the end of the import and Unity must be force quit. Older projects, that were installed under the package manager seem to upgrade fine. For me the problem is now that I am starting a new project current unity sdk 7.1.0 does not activate the package manager. Is this a bug we can file? Its pretty frustrating over hear. I’m using Unity 2020 LTS.

Absolutely, I think a bug report will certainly be a good idea. The process can be found here: Unity QA: Building quality with passion

Has google’s scoped registry been removed? The URL is returning error 404.

Yeah, Google closed down the repository :frowning:
