Building test app fails on Windows MSVC 16 2019

[AlexOpanasevych]

• Which Firebase Sample: Remote Config
• Firebase C++ SDK version: 11.0.3
• Additional SDKs you are using: Nothing
• Platform you are using the SDK on: Windows
• Platform you are targeting: Desktop

The issue happens every time I build project using Cmake

When I try to build test application using prebuilt binaries from here, there happen some weird compiler errors, listed here:

Steps to reproduce:

cmake .
cmake --build .

This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

Also I forgot to mention that I'm using MSVC 16 2019 compiler

The unresolved symbols appear to be normal c++ classes and not firebase-specific.

unresolved external symbol __std_find_trivial_8 ...
unresolved external symbol u_errorName referenced in function "class std::basic_string ...
unresolved external symbol ucal_getTimeZoneIDForWindowsID referenced in function "class std::basic_string ...
unresolved external symbol__std_find_trivial_1 ...

I am not entirely sure what would cause those failures but I suspect it is some incompatibility with the C++ settings the firebase binary was built with and the C++ compiler settings that you are using. Can you try updating your MSVC compiler and see if that has any impact on the error messages that you see? Also ensure that you are targeting C++ 14 or newer.
