Setting up Firebase for your KiviLabs Project<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create A New Firebase Project<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. We are creating the “Example” sample project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
3. Go to the Project Settings and configure the Support Email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add App With The Package Name In Firebase Console<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. On the Firebase console, click the Android icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
2. Enter Package Name (e.g., com.example.userApp) and click on register app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
3. After registering the app, you will receive the Google JSON file, download it and save it to the android\/app\/<\/strong> folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Set Up Firebase Authentication<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Go to Build -> Authentication tab and click on Get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Activating The Firestore Database<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Go to Build \u2192 Firestore Database<\/strong> tab and click on Get Started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
2. When you click the Get Started button, a dialogue will appear asking you to Sand mode and Production mode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Change the Firestore’s rules to save the data in a database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Updated rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
 rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match \/databases\/{database}\/documents {
  
    \/\/ Users Collection (Manages roles)
    match \/users\/{userId} {
      allow read, write: if request.auth != null && request.auth.uid == userId;
    }
    
    \/\/ Allow collectors to manage their own location
    match \/collector_locations\/{appointmentId} {
      allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
    }
  }
}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Note<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The collector’s location is stored in Firestore and fetched in the customer app for real-time tracking. Firestore rules ensure data security and restrict access to authorized users only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SHA Fingerprint<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
INFO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
SHA-1 fingerprint is a unique key generated for your PC that can be used for signing. It is important to have in the add Firebase as we are using Google Login and OTP Login, and to authorize these logins, we need a SHA Fingerprint certificate<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add a SHA fingerprint to Firebase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Follow these steps if you didn’t initially provide a SHA certificate fingerprint for your Firebase Android app or if you need to add an additional one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
