Flutter & Firebase Course | Code With Andrea

This repo contains the source code for my Flutter & Firebase Course on Udemy.

Running the project with Firebase

To use this project with Firebase, some configuration steps are required.

• Create a new project with the Firebase console.
• Add iOS and Android apps in the Firebase project settings.
• On Android, use com.codingwithflutter.time_tracker_flutter_course as the package name.
• then, download and copy google-services.json into android/app.
• On iOS, use com.codingwithflutter.timeTrackerFlutterCourse as the bundle ID.
• then, download and copy GoogleService-Info.plist into iOS/Runner, and add it to the Runner target in Xcode.

See this page for full instructions:
