Thank you google for taking the time to give us video walkthroughs of how to setup this stuff and explaining it simply. Greatly appreciated. Many developers are too lazy to explain in details how their apis work. Thank you from the bottom of the heart of the entire developer community

Fantastic video, clear explanation and delivery. Wouldn't expect much less from Google but this is super helpful to learn these products the right way.

[wayne_george]

Thanks for this. Very clear and easy to follow!

[Daniel-njcy]

This explanation is so well done, thank you very much!

[anthonyhowell]

Thank you so much for taking time out to explain to us how this works. Fantastic video we are all very grateful.

Heya Peter,

Thanks ever so much for this basic introduction 🙂

I'm a Registered Nurse that is dabbling in IOS code to create some apps to help my fellow health professionals, be quicker, smarter and safer.

Starting with IOS first, but will later look down the track at Android/Kotlin and maybe Flutter/Dart.

So much to learn! aarrggghhh! Thanks again for your great video

wow, it was so simple and smooth.
And it was not boring but cool way of teaching .
Nice .

Como limitar para máximo 2 contas de registro de usuário para cada smartphone? É possível isso em todos as versões de Android?

Sample provided, do not work on MacOs, because - UIApplicationDelegate is available only on iOS. Understand that, delegate based lifecycle is not required for all features. So, a table showing what Firebase features require delegate based lifecycle and an alternate example with out using the delegate based lifecycle could be better.

Would be great to have a version for React Native. Thanx!

Must I have Apple Dev account for it?
It is not clear

[lincolndickerson]

Curious why you don’t use init() { firebaseApp.configure } within the @main struct instead of doing the creating the AppDelegate class?

Great introductory video! Any resources on using Firebase Cloud Functions with my iOS App? I want to be able to send a push notification whenever a certain node changes in the database. I have set up push notifications, but having a difficult time writing the cloud functions which I think are required for the functionality I am looking for. Any resources will be greatly appreciated!

Umm, I'm more interested in how much of our proprietary information Google sucks out of our apps, I've been installing the firebase-ios-sdk for over 5 minutes now, seems like it has every type of deep introspection imaginable in one neat package.

[thomaswaldorf]

Everthing was great but XCode can not find FirebaseCore for import. :(

Hi, Please add Firestore/Realtime search functionality.

Hi there. Can somebody explain to what's the exact difference between calling getAuth() with an app parameter (like getAuth(app)) and doing so without any?

I hate to be such a novice, but what is that IDE you are using here? Can I use the same IDE for Android and Apple?
