If you're using an actual device connected by ADB, you can use localhost, but you'll also have to use the `adb reverse` command to forward the PC's localhost to the phone.

Thank you so much, I have two quick questions. If I were initializing handlers like before the main method then will your steps work? Second How can I use firebase functions and not just firestore ? The emulators for it already set up

Great videos , the only problem is that we have to wait for 1-2 weeks for more videos ..

Thanks for the tutorial. Does anyone know if the flutterfire_ui will work with the emulator? I am trying to use the signin screen with google, but when i click the button it does nothing. Nothing in the log, just makes the screen flicker.

SignInScreen(
showAuthActionSwitch: false,
providerConfigs: [
GoogleProviderConfiguration(
clientId: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform.appId,
),
],
)

2:04 useEmulator is deprecated. Instead use await FirebaseAuth.instance.useAuthEmulator('$localHostString', 9099);
