Firebase Setup

This is required for push notifications.

Step 1: Create a Firebase project

  • Go to Firebase Console.
  • Create a new project.

Why

Bubbl uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to deliver push notifications.

Step 2: Add your Android app

  • Register your app using your applicationId.
  • Download google-services.json.

Why

This binds your app package name to your Firebase project.

Step 3: Place the config file

  • Put google-services.json here: /Users/jackwright/Projects/Bubbl/bubbl-internal-android-host-app/app/google-services.json
Environment-Specific File

This file is environment‑specific. Never commit production keys to public repos.

Step 4: Enable FCM

  • Ensure Cloud Messaging is enabled in Firebase.

Why

Without FCM, the SDK cannot receive push notifications.
