Make sure that the file is in your {Project}.iOS build and that the file is exactly called "GoogleService-Info.plist". Also be sure that you set the build action of the "GoogleService-Info.plist" file to: BundleResource

For a full tutorial take a look at: https://components.xamarin.com/gettingstarted/firebaseioscloudmessaging (this is a link for cloud messages but the first part is the same for all firebase services)

In Visual Studio for Windows,

Include the GoogleService-Info.plist file in the IOs project root,

enter image description here

Then right click on the GoogleService-Info.plist file and go to Properties. Under Properties, set BundleResource for Build Action,

That's all you have to do 😉. Now just clean the project, delete the bin and obj directories, then run the project 😊

  1. Open "GoogleService-Info.plist" and change any <true></true> or <false></false> to <true /> and <false />
  2. Reopen the xamarin solution
  3. It should work now, worked for me.

For me (besides other problems already mentioned here) the Problem was that GoogleService-Info.plist was ticked for "iOS Optimization" in the Properties resulting in unreadable gibberish after building.
