Google Login reduces onboarding friction because many users already have a Google account on their phone. In React Native, the reliable pattern is to let a native Google Sign-In library collect the Google identity token, then pass that token to Firebase Authentication.

With the release of Swift 5 approaching and Firebase Firestore finally getting out of beta, let's take a look at how the Firebase Facebook Login is implemented in Swift. All of our Swift app templates have Facebook support since it's a widely demanded feature, so let's see how we implemented it.

In this article, we are going to build a simple functionality to showcase how you can upload photos to Firebase Storage in Flutter apps. We’ll be focusing on both the UI and the code functionality.

In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to add the push notifications support to a Flutter app using Firebase Cloud Messaging. This tutorial will only deal with configurations in the Android platform.

Firebase Storage is commonly used in React Native apps for profile photos, posts, chat attachments, marketplace listings, restaurant images, and short videos. The upload code is simple, but production readiness depends on rules, file paths, billing, metadata, and cleanup.

Device-to-device notifications are useful when one user's action should notify another user. Common examples include:

Sign in with Apple is a common requirement for React Native apps that offer third-party login options such as Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Amazon. It also gives iOS users a privacy-friendly authentication option that works well with Firebase Authentication.

Push notifications are one of the highest-leverage features in a React Native app, but they are also easy to get wrong. Firebase Cloud Messaging can deliver messages to Android and iOS, but iOS still depends on APNs, modern Android requires runtime notification permission, and every production app needs a trusted backend to send notifications.

This guide focuses on the current architecture: the mobile app requests permission and stores device tokens; Firebase owns delivery; your backend sends messages with Firebase Admin SDK or FCM HTTP v1.

Any business that is developing an e-commerce application will certainly consider Stripe when it comes to processing payments. Stripe provides an awesome library that instantly enables users to use their mobile phones for online payments. Stripe SDK has increased in popularity tremendously in the last 5 years, and it represents our preferred payment processor in our app templates. Integrating Stripe Firebase in iOS is extremely powerful, but quite challenging, which is the reason why we have written this tutorial.

It’s extremely common for a mobile app to support dynamic features such as user management and user-generated content, like social posts, photo uploads, or private messages. To build this functionality, an iOS developer will need a web backend that acts as a central database and serves data to the iOS client. To choose the best backend for your iOS app there are a few things to consider right from the start. Luckily, in most of the cases, the decision is simple: use Firebase.
