Support overriding the implementation of a federated plugin #59657
Description
Use case
For devices, without GMS we want to override the default implementation of packages like firebase_auth.
To achieve this we want to implement the firebase_auth_platform_interface and use our custom class.
Proposal
In the federated plugin proposal by @amirh, there is a section about overriding the default implementation with a custom package:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LD7QjmzJZLCopUrFAAE98wOUQpjmguyGTN2wd_89Srs/edit#heading=h.zc9ie62xv82k
We thought something like this should be possible:
pubspec.yaml
dependencies:
firebase_auth: any
firebase_auth_android_rest: any
And because the Flutter tool knows that firebase_auth_android_rest provides a custom implementation of the firebase_auth_platform_interface/firebase_auth package, it uses firebase_auth_android_rest and not firebase_auth for Android.
We don't know if this is possible yet.

This can already be done via pub

@jonahwilliams No, it cannot - unfortunately.
What this issue is referring to is overriding implementations of federated plugins. The main
pubspec.yamlof a federated plugin specifies the packages that create the platform implementations.This means that if you want to only override say the Android implementation of a federated plugin, you need to override the main package as well.

Yes, you can override dependencies of dependencies
creativecreatorormaybenot commentedon Jul 11, 2020
@jonahwilliams Of course, but you cannot supply a different package for federated plugins (which is what this issue attempts to describe).
Our use case is the following: we created the
firebase_rest_authplugin and this is supposed to be an Android replacement for thefirebase_authplugin.If you take a look at the installing guide, you will hopefully see what I mean 🙂
We want to offer a Pub package that only replaces a platform implementation of a federated plugin, however, that is currently not possible without overriding the actual plugin package.
Even if we wanted to override the web implementation, which is in a separate package by default, we cannot do that with a different package.
The only possible way would be a dependency override of
firebase_auth_web, however, we cannot publish that on Pub because that obviously already exists.The section in the document @IchordeDionysos linked seems to indicate that replacing platform implementations should be supported - that is what this issue is about.
I hope I was able to explain the issue better now 😄

Updated the issue to be clear that this is an issue specifically for federated plugins
