[FR] Eliminate version control noise when changing platforms due to google-services-desktop being modified

[timbo-tj]

Feature proposal

• Firebase Component: Core

When changing platforms the google-services-desktop.json file in the streaming assets folder is modified to reflect the change in target platform.

This results in the file ping ponging around from being changed user to user with everyone having a different local configuration.

If this is for editor only emulation (suggested here firebase/quickstart-unity#1092) then it should be stored somewhere else, perhaps the Temp folder.

If this is required for runtime, then it should be auto-generated at build time and cleaned up after the build is finished (similar to what Unity Cloud Services does - if you peek at the StreamingAssets folder during a build you can see that they inject some files there that they then clean up after the build is complete)

I found a few problems with this issue:

• I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.
• This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

Thanks for the suggestion @timbo-tj

I won't disagree that how the google-services-desktop.json file is handled can be a bit annoying. We can see if there are some improvements to be done, as you are suggesting.
