Configure Firebase

Go to the firebase project you might created while following backend documentation.
If you don't have, follow the steps below and create one project.
At first, follow this link https://firebase.google.com/

Now, we first have to create a Firebase project. Firebase project will go through and describe what it is. This allows us to add an app to that project. It can have many projects inside of Firebase.

Now, we have to give a name and id to the project, enable Google Analytics for the project, set an analytics location, and accept all the terms and conditions. Firebase console automatically creates a unique id for the project.

Step 1 : Giving a name to the project

Step 2 : Enable Google analytics for the project

Step 3 : First Choose default Firebase account and then create project

Add Android app to Firebase

In the next step, we have to choose the platform to add Firebase to our application. The platform can be Android, iOS, Web etc..

Your package name is generally the applicationId in your build.gradle (app-level) file
See this page for information on using keytool to get the SHA-1 hash of your signing certificate
Add your applicationid in the first field and SHA-1 to the third field as shown in the image below.

Download the google-services.json file & place it in your project's app root directory.

Back in the Firebase console-setup workflow, click Next to skip the remaining steps and then finish and complete

Add iOS app in Firebase

We have to choose the platform to add Firebase to our application. Click on iOS.

After completing the code integration steps from the above documentation, you now need to configure certain fields in the Admin Panel.

⚠️ Note : Each field has a ? icon beside it. Clicking on it will provide guidance on how to obtain the required value.

Required Fields

Scheme - Must be the same for both iOS and Android (already obtained from the above documentation).
Play Store Download Link

Android Package Name - (already obtained from the above documentation).
Android SHA-256 - Two values are required:

From Android Studio

From Play Store
Apple Bundle Identifier - (already obtained from the above documentation).
Apple Team ID - (instructions available in the documentation).

Validation Process

Once all fields are saved:

Verify whether the universal link file is available and your domain is validated.
A successful validation ensures that the sharing system works correctly.
Refer to the screenshots below to see how a validated domain response should look.

During validation:

When clicking the shared link for the first time, you may be redirected to the browser before the app opens.
After successful validation, the app will open directly without going through the browser.

If the issue persists (i.e., the link still opens in the browser instead of the app):

Delete the app from your device.
Reinstall the app.
Test again on a real device (not just a simulator).
