Deprecated: This module will no longer be available in SDK 48. Learn how to migrate to React Native Firebase.

expo-firebase-core provides access to the Firebase configuration and performs initialization of the native Firebase App.

You do not have to install this library directly in your project to use Firebase. It is used as a peer dependency for the expo-firebase-analytics module when used with React Native Firebase.

Platform Compatibility

Android Device	Android Emulator	iOS Device	iOS Simulator	Web

Installation

Terminal

- npx expo install expo-firebase-core

If you're installing this in a bare React Native app, you should also follow these additional installation instructions.

API

import * as FirebaseCore from 'expo-firebase-core';
