Hello,

Firebase-related libraries have been migrated to .Net and support MAUI.

The following is Firebase Analytics Nugets:

• Xamarin.Firebase.Analytics .
• Xamarin.Firebase.iOS.Analytics.

For more information on how to use these packages, you could refer to the following official documentation.

• GooglePlayServicesComponents.
• Get Started with Firebase Analytics for iOS.

Update:

This caused by a path length of more than 260 characters. Visual Studio does not support Nuget long paths. Please refer to Long Path Support for more details.  

Visual Studio or msbuild -t:restore does not yet support long paths.

You could refer to a similar issue in Maui - iOS push notification cannot be set up - Could not find a part of the path (Path too long) #630 and use the workarounds from it. Workaround 1.

Try clearing your local nuget cache and run a nuget restore from the command line (not using Visual Studio).

Workaround 2.

I fixed this by changing the nuget package location to a path that’s shorter than the default path. I did this by adding the following configuration to my NuGet.Config.<config> <add key="globalPackagesFolder" value="D:\nuget" /> </config>

NuGet.Config is not an intra-project configuration file, but a global configuration file for NuGet. Usually, it exists in the C:\Users\YouUser\AppData\Roaming\NuGet folder.

Alec Liu.
