Create a Firebase Project

Firebase is Google's platform for managing mobile and web app services. Zype Apps Creator uses Firebase for:

• Push Notifications (iOS & Android)
• Google Analytics 4 (GA4)  (also known as Firebase Analytics)
• Future app services such as Crash Reporting

Register for a Firebase Account

Prerequisite

You will need a Google Account to create a Firebase project. If you don't already have one, create a Google Account before continuing.

Step 1: Create a Firebase account at https://firebase.google.com/.

Step 2: Click on Go to console or Get started in console

Step 2: Click on 'Get started by setting up a Firebase project' or 'create a new Firebase project'

All your apps will live inside this project, so we recommend using your App Name as the Firebase Project name. This makes it easier to identify later if you manage multiple apps. Select parent resource.

If you already have a Google Cloud project and want to add Firebase to your Google Cloud Project, you can click on the link 'Add Firebase to Google Cloud project' and select the project. Click on Continue.

In the next step, during project creation, Firebase will ask whether you'd like to enable Google Analytics. We recommend enabling it, then either select an existing Analytics account or create a new one.

After project creation:

Your Firebase project should now appear on the Firebase Console dashboard.

Step 3: Once your Firebase Project has been created, grant the Zype team access by following the article How to Provide Access to Your Firebase Project

Congratulations! Your Firebase Project is now ready. You can proceed with registering your apps and configuring Firebase services for your Zype applications.
