I would like to know or have sample of integrating the api key generated from firebase to buildfire mobile app. (Not using buildfire.js) Is there any other way to integrate the api key without having to code?
Thanks.
You can integrate using BuildFireStore which integrate with Firebase’s Firestore. https://github.com/BuildFire/sdk/wiki/Buildfire-Firebase-Integration
You can get this don’t through the BuildFire dev portal https://dev.buildfire.com this will integrate with BuildFire with authentication and user tagging.
That being said, each plugin still needs to be coded to integrate with your own database and structure.
On a final note, generally people will on code the plugins they need to host on their firebase database. The rest can stay within the BuildFire CMS since no integrations are need for this like a Folder Plugin.
I hope this helps.

For the last couple of days, I have faced an issue with my Unity project regarding adding Google and Facebook authentication for my users, using Firebase. The thing is that there exist a couple of youtube tutorials for each of those two implementations but they are quite misleading and rushed.
Apart from that those tutorials refer to the creation of a new project which implies that the Firebase Auth package is not yet installed. And I mention this because I've seen plenty of people in the comments that are struggling with the Plugins and Parse folders that get overwritten whenever both Firebase Auth and Google or Facebook packages are installed. So there does not exist a rule of thumb on how to proceed in cases where projects already had other methods of authentication such as Email/Password.
Of course, the documentation for both Google and Facebook is unclear on how to get the access token.
Facebook SignIn doc: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/unity/facebook-login?hl=en&authuser=0
Google SignIn doc:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/unity/google-signin?hl=en&authuser=0
I've made this post in order to find a step-by-step solution to my problem and hopefully help the community find a solution to a problem that concerns many developers.
[Edit]: My question is. How exactly do I implement the Google & Facebook Sign-In, based on the documentation, that is unclear, especially on the step
Follow instructions for Android and iOS+ to get an access token for the signed-in Facebook user.
And I am speaking for a project that already has imported Firebase.Authentication, which means that folders such as Plugins and Parse are already in the Assets and get overloaded from the packages requested by the 'tutorials' (Because the docs do not even mention what package to use and how).
[Edit]: As of right now I've managed to set up the code in a way that has no errors. When I run it though I get:
[Android]: Exception: Field currentActivity or type signature not found.
[iOS]: EntryPointNotFoundException: GoogleSignIn_Create
After some googling, they proposed testing it after I build it which I think is way too much time-consuming.
This is the answer I've got from Firebase support.
First of all, we need to note that Firebase only has three native authentication providers: email, phone, and anonymous authentication. For the other methods, Firebase needs to trust how their respective third-party providers handle their authentication flow. That's why Firebase can't offer a way to get the access token. This is not its responsibility.
So, to sign in with a Federated provider (FP) you must follow the following steps.
Think about which will be your target mobile platform. Not all the FP provide the same authentication flow on iOS or Android. For example Google offers a more handy way to authenticate Android devices by using Google Play Game Services
Authenticate in Unity Using Google Play Games Services | Firebase
Search on his FP's official GitHub repository for the official plugins to get access to the FP's SDK on Unity. For example, Google offer a useful plugin to authenticate user in both platforms
GitHub - googlesamples/google-signin-unity: Google Sign-In API plugin for Unity game engine. Works with Android and iOS.
Last plugin's release: https://github.com/googlesamples/google-signin-unity/releases/tag/v1.0.4
Examples - Unity SDK - Documentation - Meta for Developers
Create the FP credentials according to its own requirements. For example, Google login requires the use of web_client_id, which can be obtained from the google-services.json or GoogleService-Info.plist files needed to build the application on the target platform.
https://github.com/googlesamples/google-signin-unity#get-a-google-sign-in-configuration-file
https://github.com/googlesamples/google-signin-unity#using-this-plugin-with-firebase-auth
Once you've built the FP's credential into your project, it's time to check out our Firebase documentation for using the FP credential in our authentication flow. I recommend having the Firebase reference along with the documentation as it will help to know what arguments the required method needs.
The best way to test your new authentication provider is by implementing the Firebase Authentication Unity Quickstart. Please clone the Unity Quickstart repository here and deploy the Unity project found in the auth folder. Follow the steps mentioned in the README.md file and build the app on your target platform.
I recommend that you add the FP's SDK right in the same step as adding the Firebase SDK plugins to avoid some build issues. Since these errors are more related to Unity than Firebase, I recommend reaching out to our communities on StackOverflow, Google Groups, and Slack for help with these issues as they have more knowledge than I on those topics.
So, in conclusion, getting credentials from third-party providers is a task delegated to them and not to Firebase since this one is not responsible for any third-party authentication flow.
I am building an automation process for my app, which includes creating several new Firebase projects. (After a lot of investigation, I am sure that several projects are needed, and that it cannot be done with just one project).
I am looking for a way to create a new Firebase project from scratch, and enable Phone Auth, Cloud Firestore, and Cloud Storage, along with security rules, programmatically.
I have taken a look at the Firebase Management REST API, which indeed shows a way to create a new Firebase project and link it to an existing GCP project, but couldn't find a way to configure the project itself through the API (Authentication, Firestore, Storage, etc.).
Is there any way to create and configure a Firebase project from scratch, using an API/SDK or CI/CD of some kind?
Thank you!
Have you looked into the firebase-admin SDK? It is a backend-only API because it needs your private key to authenticate against and can therefore not be used in the app directly (shipping your private key with the app would be pretty big security issue!), but as I understand it, creating new firebase-projects is something of a backend activity for you anyway?!
Look at https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/ for the API's documentation and what you can do with it.
So after a long research, it seems that we can combine the Firebase CLI and the Firebase Admin SDK in order to achieve it.
We can create a new project using the command
firebase projects:create NEW_PROJECT_ID
And then to configure all of the necessary configurations through the admin SDK
I am developing a question answering system app like quora, I want to add content based recommendation to my app so that it can give suggestion while searching question based on users previous seen data and also use the recommendation system for showing the similar content at home page!
Well, there's no direct way and Firebase don't have any packages for recommendation system but what you can do is use tensor flow to build your own model, train it and integrate it in to firebase ML which also use the firebase cloud function feature. That's it, now use firebase cloud function in your flutter project.
I'm trying to find a way to allow users to create and setup firebase project on their own google account from a client app, and get all their project information, urls and so on.
I took a look at the new project management api but can not figure out how to achieve this.
The management API currently does not support the creation of a new Google Cloud project. You are free to file a feature request for that, but it's worth pointing out that project creation is a complex issue and needs to be gated by abuse prevention measures.
You might also want to look into Google Cloud APIs for dealing with projects.
I've searched for a while all over to see if there is a way to register an app with Firebase via an API but cannot seem to find anything on the topic.
is it possible to register a bundle id with Firebase and then download the corresponding google-services.json and google-services.plist files?
I'm working on automating a repetitive process that I have to do.
There is a brand new management API in beta that lets you programmatically create projects and add apps to them. The documentation for that API is here. Specifically, you will want to look at androidApps and iosApps for creating and modifying apps on your project.
