Firebase Remote Config Loading Strategies - Firecasts

What's the best way to fetch and apply Firebase Remote Config values in your app? And what's the deal with all of this caching, anyway? Find out the answers to these and many more questions in this episode of Firecasts!

I saw Todd in another video about Firestore data modelling and I really like the way he actually gives real opinions on the different options and their drawbacks, rather than just saying "here are all the options, enjoy". This is very useful for developers actually trying to integrate these services into our apps in the real world.

You are so good at explaining all that features! Thanks

I think that this strategy of loading changes only at application startup may not work very well, as some frequently used applications can be active for a long time, coming and going from a stand-by state, so that a restart in practice can take a long time to happen (several days). Am I missing something here?

I have been just thinking about fetching data for menu screen today and had the same ideas :D Fetching data for next launch can be optimal way for some A/B tests. Loading screen is the most elegant (but who likes loading screens?) and "activate and refresh" is great for not visible stuff or updating values for further activities.

Why there isn't a way to add/update/delete remote config values from a cloud function or an API? so our clients can manipulate the config in a custom interface

Would like to suggest another approach to handle start of app and remote config settings: just fetch the values as per normal async, and proceed with your app in parallel. Have flags to keep track of 1) "remote_config_data_received", and 2) "user_began". If 1) is true before 2), great we can use updated values. If 2) is true before 1), then new data is saved for next App start (data saved automatically by firebase if activatefetched is executed) . Update all your App variables from remote config in one place. You might need to store some remoteconfig values by separate means (not using firebase), to cater for resuming from a past game, for instance.

Can we please have some more videos on advanced use of firebase features like remote config, but aimed at product designers, not coders? Steve Jobs never wrote code.
