request: support multiple ios-build-config values

Is there an existing feature request for this?

Command

flutterfire configure

Description

Currently, if you have more than a single build configuration for your iOs project you are required to run the flutterfire configure command multiple times. From the documentation:

You need to run flutterfire configure for every configuration type. E.g. if you have Debug & Release configurations, you need to run flutterfire configure twice with the relevant arguments documented below.

If you are sharing the same configuration for different iOs build configurations. For example if the project has the following build configurations: Debug-dev, Profile-dev and Release-dev. Then, it would be very convenient to simply run once:

flutterfire configure --project my_project --ios-build-config Debug-dev,Profile-dev,Release-dev --ios-bundle-id com.example.project.dev --ios-out ios/Runner/development --platforms ios

Hence, I would expect the above command to create three identical entries in the firebase.json file, equivalent to when its run multiple times with different ios-build-configs:

{
  "flutter": {
    "platforms": {
      "ios": {
        "buildConfigurations": {
          "Debug-dev": {
            "projectId": "my_project",
            "appId": "1",
            "uploadDebugSymbols": false,
            "fileOutput": "ios/Runner/development/GoogleService-Info.plist"
          },
          "Profile-dev": {
            "projectId": "my_project",
            "appId": "1",
            "uploadDebugSymbols": false,
            "fileOutput": "ios/Runner/development/GoogleService-Info.plist"
          },
          "Release-dev": {
            "projectId": "my_project",
            "appId": "1",
            "uploadDebugSymbols": false,
            "fileOutput": "ios/Runner/development/GoogleService-Info.plist"
          },
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Reasoning

It is easier to run the command once rather than running it multiple times and changing the --ios-build-config each time with the same configuration.

For example, consider projects that have 3 Schemas (production, release, development) each with 3 Build Configurations (Profile, Debug, Release), a user of the FlutterFire CLI would have to run the command 9 times! Each time modifying the --ios-build-config instead of simply running it 3 times (one per schema, each schema having its own Firebase project configuration).

Can this save us some time ? Or is it going to be only some sugar syntax ?

I hope that it can save us some time, we test an app generation process in a CI environment and the Firebase configuration is the longest part of the generation.

Commenting to avoid the issue being "stale", @russellwheatley any thoughts or status regarding the issue?

Yeah, I like the idea. I've thought about it before. I'll keep it open.
