Usage Examples

Firebase Setup (iOS)

// AppDelegate.swift
import FirebaseCore
import FirebaseAuth
import FirebaseFirestore

@main
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
    func application(_ application: UIApplication,
                     didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        FirebaseApp.configure()
        return true
    }
}

// AuthService.swift
class AuthService: ObservableObject {
    @Published var user: User?
    private var handle: AuthStateDidChangeListenerHandle?

    init() {
        handle = Auth.auth().addStateDidChangeListener { [weak self] _, user in
            self?.user = user
        }
    }

    func signIn(email: String, password: String) async throws {
        try await Auth.auth().signIn(withEmail: email, password: password)
    }

    func signUp(email: String, password: String) async throws {
        try await Auth.auth().createUser(withEmail: email, password: password)
    }

    func signOut() throws {
        try Auth.auth().signOut()
    }
}

Firestore Repository (Android)

// data/​repository/​PostRepository.kt
class PostRepository @Inject constructor(
    private val firestore: FirebaseFirestore
) {
    private val postsCollection = firestore.collection("posts")

    fun observePosts(): Flow<List<Post>> = callbackFlow {
        val listener = postsCollection
            .orderBy("createdAt", Query.Direction.DESCENDING)
            .addSnapshotListener { snapshot, error ->
                if (error != null) {
                    close(error)
                    return@addSnapshotListener
                }
                val posts = snapshot?.documents?.mapNotNull { it.toObject<Post>() } ?: emptyList()
                trySend(posts)
            }
        awaitClose { listener.remove() }
    }

    suspend fun createPost(post: Post): String {
        val docRef = postsCollection.add(post).await()
        return docRef.id
    }

    suspend fun updatePost(postId: String, updates: Map<String, Any>) {
        postsCollection.document(postId).update(updates).await()
    }

    suspend fun deletePost(postId: String) {
        postsCollection.document(postId).delete().await()
    }
}

Security Rules

// firestore.rules
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /​databases/​{database}/​documents {
    function isAuthenticated() {
      return request.auth != null;
    }

    function isOwner(userId) {
      return isAuthenticated() && request.auth.uid == userId;
    }

    match /​users/​{userId} {
      allow read: if isAuthenticated();
      allow write: if isOwner(userId);
    }

    match /​posts/​{postId} {
      allow read: if true;
      allow create: if isAuthenticated()
        && request.resource.data.authorId == request.auth.uid;
      allow update, delete: if isOwner(resource.data.authorId);
    }
  }
}

Firebase Emulator

# Start emulators
firebase emulators:start

# Run with emulator in code
if ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["USE_FIREBASE_EMULATOR"] == "YES" {
    Auth.auth().useEmulator(withHost: "localhost", port: 9099)
    Firestore.firestore().useEmulator(withHost: "localhost", port: 8080)
    Storage.storage().useEmulator(withHost: "localhost", port: 9199)
}

Quality Gates

• Security rules tested with emulator
• Authentication flows verified
• Offline persistence tested
• Error handling comprehensive
