As far as I can tell, there is no reason it can not be a string literal, witch (to me) seems more logical (it is also the return type of the underlying function call). ### Checklist - [x] Supports `Android` - [x] Supports `iOS` - [ ] `e2e` tests added or updated in [/tests/e2e/\*](/tests/e2e) - [ ] Updated the documentation in the [docs repo](https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase-docs) - **LINK TO DOCS PR HERE** - [x] Flow types updated - [ ] Typescript types updated ### Test Plan Tested locally, works for me. <!-- Demonstrate the code is solid. --> <!-- Example: The exact testing commands you ran and their final output (e.g. screenshot of test summary). --> <!-- Example: Screenshots / videos if the pull request changes UI related code such as Notifications or Admob --> ### Release Plan <!-- Help reviewers and the release process by writing your own release notes.

React Native Firebase
Introduction
React Native Firebase is a light-weight javascript layer connecting you to the native Firebase SDKs for both iOS and Android which aimes to mirror the offical Firebase Web SDK as closely as possible.
Although the official Firebase JS SDK will work with React Native; it is mainly built for the web and has a limited feature-set compared to native.
Using the native Firebase SDKs with React Native Firebase allows you to consume device SDKs which don't exist on the Firebase JS SDK - for example; Remote Config, Performance Monitoring, Dynamic Links, Analytics and more (see the feature table below for comparison).

The Web SDK column indicates what modules/functionality from the Web SDK are usable within React Native.
