Firebase Remote Config App Version condition comparison

Question

I'm using Firebase Remote Config, and I'm trying to wrap my head around the App Version conditions.

https://firebase.google.com/docs/remote-config/parameters#rule_types says I must do String matching on it.

But I really need a way to say parameter_x will have different values on different version ranges.

Is there any way to do this, or am I stuck coming up with a ridiculous regular expression?

I'm not sure why they went with versionName and not versionCode. It would be so much simpler to compare. If it's of any help, you can use comma separated values, and just list the versions you want to be included. – Brierwood

The problem with that is you have to make sure you update it with every release. I want it to take a certain value on all versions greater than X, without having to update that condition all the time. But yes, versionCode would be great. – Lucretialucretius

Answer 1

the comparison operators for app version are limited (because of strings, eg 0.0.1-alpha5):

for string values: contains, does not contain, exactly matches, regular expression

while an (int) versionCode could be defined & compared as a user property:

for numeric values: =, ≠, >, ≥, <, ≤

appending the build flavor to the versionName might be the most simple.
