FIRRemoteConfig.activateFetched() fails

I've implemented FIRRemoteConfig and added my first value in the firebase console. However, when I try to activate the fetched values it fails and my remote value is never available.

    let remote = FIRRemoteConfig.remoteConfig()
    #if DEBUG
        let expiration: TimeInterval = 0
        remote.configSettings = FIRRemoteConfigSettings(developerModeEnabled: true)
    #else
        let expiration: TimeInterval = 24*60*60
    #endif

    var map = [String:NSObject]()
    let defaults = RemoteSettings.defaults.keys
    for key in defaults.keys {
        map[key.rawValue] = defaults[key] as? NSObject
    }
    remote.setDefaults(map) // Have confirmed that map is valid here

    remote.fetch(withExpirationDuration: expiration, completionHandler: { (status, error) in
        // status always == .success, but remote.activateFetched() always returns false.
        if status == .success && remote.activateFetched() {
            print("applied remote settings")
        } else {
            print("failed to apply remote settings: \(error)")
        }
    })

As @Sunil Phani Manne mentioned, using the method with expiration value really works and forces remoteConfig to activate immediately.

    self.remoteConfig?.fetch(withExpirationDuration: 0.0, completionHandler: { (status, error) in
        let result = self.remoteConfig?.activateFetched()
        print(result)
    })

I figured out after a lot of trial and error. The problem is with the expiration value, set the expiration value to 0 seconds to see the immediate results put into effect!

I hope this could save a lot of time for others guys!

Using remote.activateFetched() fails, but using FIRRemoteConfig.remoteConfig().activateFetched() is successful. Perhaps google wants us to use remoteConfig() every time rather than holding onto a specific instance.

Additionally, a look at the documentation mentions that this will actually fail if the fetched settings have already been applied previously.

Returns false if no Fetched Config was found, or the Fetched Config was already activated.
