The same Firebase Instance for iOS and Android applications

Question

I'm new to android, but I ended up creating a Firebase backend for the iOS app. Now I'm starting to encode a version of Android that must have access to the same Firebase firewall.

My question is ... do I need to create a new instance of Firebase for the Android backend !? I was hoping to use the same instance of Firebase that I created for the iOS app?

Answer 1

If you are creating a version of the Android application, you are using the same firebase project, but when you are in the console, you click Browse → Add another application → Click Android

Follow the Android setup, and all is well.

Answer 2

You can , and should, use the Same Firebase project. Thus, the database will be divided between iOS and Android application.

Answer 3
