Firing on all cylinders – a breakdown of Firebase on iOS
summary
Builds a working Lunch Train clone that uses Firebase Auth (Google email anonymous), stores trains in Cloud Firestore with offline caching and real‑time listeners, updates passenger lists, and triggers push notifications via Cloud Functions sending to topics. Shows console setup for certificates, Remote Config and A/B testing, Test Lab for UI tests, and Crashlytics integration. Code lives on GitHub but is a work in progress. Demos run and functions fire; data syncs after reconnect.
