AdSupport on Managed Workflows

Expo Application Services (EAS)
1

Hi all:

With my team we are working with a managed workflow and we are using the FirebaseAnalitycs library, we need enable the Adsupport, because we need to use the extra features ( audiences , campaign attribution , and some user properties). The documentation said, in order to enable it we need to add the Adsupport framework using Xcode on a Bare Workflow, with my team we would like to keep using the Manage Workflow
My question is there a way to enable the AdSupport in a Manage Workflow?

Here is the output of my EAS diagnostics:

Thanks in advance

Hey @fernando.cardozo, this isn’t currently possible out of the box. You’d need to either migrate to a Bare project or write a config plugin (Config Plugins - Expo Documentation) which would involve the work needed to implement it like in a bare project (plus some additional steps for handling the nuances of a config plugin) but would allow you to continue to use the Managed flow.

@adamjnav is on the expo roadmap to implement AdSupport for managed workflow in the future? If not could you please provide more specific solution with config plugin? I think there are many expo users struggling with this problem.

Hey! We wrote our own config plugin that seems to do the trick for adding AdSupport, that can maybe be useful for inspiration:

In our app.config.js:
plugins: [['./src/config/config-plugins/adSupportFramework.js']],

And then in adSupportFramework.js

// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-var-requires
const { withXcodeProject } = require('@expo/config-plugins')

const withAddedFrameworks = (config) => {
  return withXcodeProject(config, (config) => {
    const xcodeProject = config.modResults
    xcodeProject.addFramework('AdSupport.framework')
    return config
  })
}

module.exports = withAddedFrameworks
