iOS Widgets: Configuring Multiple Firebase Environment in Widget Extensions

Question

I have set up multiple Firebase environments that allow me to point to different Firebase projects when the app is launched in DEBUG or RELEASE configuration. I do not follow the Firebase documentation due to potential analytics issues indicated, so I implemented it using the method in this Medium post. All is good for the main app target.

Now, I am attempting to implement the same for my Widget Extension and Intents, but my widgets always crash with:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'com.firebase.core', reason: 'FirebaseApp.configure() could not find a valid GoogleService-Info.plist in your project. Please download one from https://console.firebase.google.com/.'

I duplicated the steps in the Medium post for the Widgets and Intents, ie:

1. Downloaded the GoogleService-Info.plist for both prd and dev environments, and created the directories in the Widgets and Intents targets. I also ensured they are not added to targets and unchecked "Copy items if needed" according to the post.
2. Added the Run Scripts to both Widgets and Intents targets respectively, and ensured they are before "Copy Bundle Resources".

Code that I use to initialize Firebase in the Widgets as suggested in this SO post:

import Firebase

struct MyWidget: Widget {
    let kind: String = "MyWidgetKind"
    
    init() {
        FirebaseApp.configure()
    }

    var body: some WidgetConfiguration {
        IntentConfiguration(kind: kind, intent: MyIntent.self, provider: Provider()) { entry in
            MyEntryView(entry: entry)
        }
        .configurationDisplayName("Lorem ipsum")
        .description("Lorem ipsum")
    }
}
