Quick Start Getting started with the App package in React Native Firebase

App Quick Start

Installation

Install this module with Yarn:

yarn add @react-native-firebase/app

Initializing Firebase

React Native Firebase provides two methods for initializing your with Firebase.

  • Native initialization
  • Client initialization

Native initialization

Native initialization is the preferred way of setting up React Native Firebase. This process involves adding the google-services.json and GoogleService-Info.plist file generated via the Firebase console. The native method is compatible with all other packages.

For further platform installation guides, view the Android & iOS documentation.

Client initialization

Similar to the Firebase Web SDK, React Native Firebase allows app initialization via the client using initializeApp.

Due to limitation with some Firebase SDKs, the Remote Config, Crashlytics & Performance Monitoring modules will not work with this method of initialization.

For further information, view the client initialization documentation.

Module Usage

Import the default firebase instance into your project:

import firebase from '@react-native-firebase/app';

The instance is also accessible from other installed packages, for example:

import auth, { firebase } from '@react-native-firebase/auth';

Create and initialize an additional app instance

It is possible to create multiple app instances, allowing full control over which Firebase project is used for certain packages. To create an additional app instance, call the initialize method:
