Follow these steps to set up Firebase in your project with the Choicely Android SDK. Firebase is required to enable certain features in the Choicely Android SDK.

​
Why Firebase?

  • Push Notifications – Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) allows the app to send push notifications directly to users, helping you keep them engaged with instant updates, news, or alerts.
  • Realtime Updates – With Firebase Realtime Database, content and configuration changes can be delivered instantly to your users without requiring an app update. This ensures your app always reflects the latest data.
  • Social Login – The Choicely SDK integrates with Firebase Authentication to enable sign-in with popular providers such as Google, Facebook, and Apple. This makes it easy for users to log in without creating a separate account.
