🛠️ Getting Started

1. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/FriendlyMeals-Android.git

2. Open the project
   • Open FriendlyMeals-Android in Android Studio.

🔥 Setting Up Firebase

1. Create a Firebase Project

   • Sign into the Firebase console.
   • Click the button to create a new Firebase project, and follow the on-screen workflow.
   • Enable the products listed in the 'Features' section by navigating to the corresponding area of the console.

2. Register the Android App

   • Click Add app > Android.
   • Follow the on-screen workflow. You can enter the package name: com.google.firebase.example.friendlymeals
   • Click Register app.

3. During the "Add app" workflow, download the google-services.json file.

   • Move this file into this directory of the app: FriendlyMeals-Android/app.
   • If you didn't download this file during the "Add app" workflow, you can always obtain it later.

4. Enable Firebase services in the Firebase console

   • Go to the Firebase Authentication section of the console, enable the service and choose the Anonymous authentication method.
   • Go to the Firestore section of the console and enable Firestore Enterprise edition.
   • Go to the Firebase AI Logic section of the console and enable the Gemini Developer API.
   • Go to the App Check section of the console, enable this service, and register your Android app using the Play Integrity provider (you'll need to provide the SHA-256 fingerprint of your app's signing certificate).
   • Go to the Remote Config section of the console and enable this service.
   • Go to the Firebase Storage section of the console and enable this service (you'll need to set up a billing account since this service is only available on the Blaze plan).

5. Run the app

   • Build and run in Android Studio on an Android emulator or physical device.

6. Set up App Check

   • Once your app is running on the emulator, look for the App Check debug token in your logs, and copy it.
   • Then, in the Firebase console, go to the Security > App Check > Apps tab and locate your Android app.
   • Click the three-dot menu and select Manage debug tokens.
   • Paste your token in the "value" field and save it.

The log will be similar to this:

 DebugAppCheckProvider: Enter this debug secret into the allow list
 in the Firebase Console for your project: 123a4567-b89c-12d3-e456-789012345678
