Summary

This release introduces new real-time sending methods to LiveSession, adds support for audio transcriptions, and exposes inference source information in AI responses. Several methods related to media sending are deprecated.

Migration Steps

  1. If you were using `sendMediaChunks()` or `sendMediaStream()`, replace them with the new methods available on the `LiveSession` class (e.g., `sendTextRealtime()`, `sendAudioReatime()`, `sendVideoRealtime()`).

✨ New Features

  • Added `sendTextRealtime()`, `sendAudioReatime()`, and `sendVideoRealtime()` to the `LiveSession` class.
  • Added support for audio transcriptions in the Live API.
  • Added `inferenceSource` to the response from `generateContent` and `generateContentStream` to indicate on-device or in-cloud inference source.
  • Expose `browserCookiePersistence` beta feature in public typings for @firebase/auth.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed logic for merging default `onDeviceParams` with user-provided `onDeviceParams` in @firebase/ai.
  • Exported `MISSING_PASSWORD` via `AuthErrorCodes` in @firebase/auth (fixes #9270).
