What you need to install to get FireAuth working

1. Download and install the Android Studio IDE

To view the project code, you need to install Android Studio.

2. Install the emulator

To run the project code, you need to install the Android Emulator.

3. Open FireAuth in Android Studio

Follow the steps below to open the project files in Android Studio:

• Download the .zip file of the project.
• Extract the files into a folder called FireAuth.
• Open Android Studio and choose "Open" from the welcome screen (or File > Open) and navigate to the extracted folder.
• Android Studio will automatically recognize it as a project.

4. Add Firebase to your FireAuth Android Project

Please follow the steps described in the official documentation for adding Firebase to your Android project. Download the google-services.json file and add it to your app folder inside the FireAuth project directory.

5. Enable Firebase Products inside Firebase Console

Open the Firebase Console and select your project. Go to:

• Authentication -> Sign-in method -> Enable Email/Password and Phone providers.
• Firestore Database -> Create database -> Start in production mode -> Select a location -> Rules -> add:

rules_version = '2';

service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /users/{uid} {
      allow create: if request.auth != null;
    }   
  }
}

6. Make Cloud Functions for Firebase work

Download and install Node.js on your computer. When the installation is complete, set up Node.js and the Firebase CLI. Once you complete the steps above, open the FireAuth folder from the location where you extracted the project files. Then open the firebase-functions/functions folder and copy the index.js file to the folder where you installed Firebase Functions. Basically, you have to overwrite the default index.js file with the one in the project archive.

7. Sync Project in Android Project

Once you finished all above steps, sync the project in Android Studio and run the project on the Android emulator.

Yey!

That's it! You can now finally view the entire project running in your local development environment.
