Getting started with Firebase

Firebase is a mobile app platform with integrated, unified client libraries in various mobile programming languages. Firebase's different backend-as-a-service (BaaS) features help you develop high-quality apps, grow your user base, and earn more money. Each feature works independently, and they work even better together.

    3. (Optional) Enable Google Analytics for your project, then follow the prompts to select or create a Google Analytics account.
    4. Click Add Firebase.
