User +properties include: + +- `uid`: Unique identifier. +- `email`: User's email address (if available). +- `displayName`: User's display name (if available). +- `photoURL`: URL to user's photo (if available). +- `emailVerified`: Boolean indicating if the email is verified. + +### Identity Providers + +Firebase Auth supports multiple ways to sign in: + +- **Email/Password**: Basic email and password authentication. +- **Federated Identity Providers**: Google, Facebook, Twitter, GitHub, + Microsoft, Apple, etc. +- **Phone Number**: SMS-based authentication. +- **Anonymous**: Temporary guest accounts that can be linked to permanent + accounts later. +- **Custom Auth**: Integrate with your existing auth system. + +Google Sign In is recommended as a good and secure default provider. + +### Tokens + +When a user signs in, they receive an ID Token (JWT). This token is used to +identify the user when making requests to Firebase services (Realtime Database, +Cloud Storage, Firestore) or your own backend. + +- **ID Token**: Short-lived (1 hour), verifies identity. +- **Refresh Token**: Long-lived, used to get new ID tokens. + +## Workflow + +### 1. Provisioning + +#### Option 1. Enabling Authentication via CLI + +Only Google Sign In, anonymous auth, and email/password auth can be enabled via +CLI. For other providers, use the Firebase Console. + +Configure Firebase Authentication in `firebase.json` by adding an 'auth' block: + +``` +{ + "auth": { + "providers": { + "anonymous": true, + "emailPassword": true, + "googleSignIn": { + "oAuthBrandDisplayName": "Your Brand Name", + "supportEmail": "support@example.com", + "authorizedRedirectUris": [ + "https://my-project-id.firebaseapp.com/__/auth/handler", + "http://localhost" + ] + } + } + } +} +``` + +> [!NOTE] If the Google Sign-In popup opens and immediately closes with the +> error `[firebase_auth/unauthorized-domain]`, it means the domain is not +> authorized. For local development, add `http://localhost` to +> `authorizedRedirectUris` in `firebase.json` (or ensure `localhost` is included +> in the **Authorized Domains** list in the Firebase Console under +> Authentication > Settings > Authorized domains). **CRITICAL**: Do NOT include +> the port number in `authorizedRedirectUris` (e.g., use `http://localhost`, NOT +> `http://localhost:9090` or `http://localhost:4000`), and do NOT include the +> protocol or port number in the Console Authorized Domains list (use +> `localhost`). Including a port number in `authorizedRedirectUris` causes +> `firebase deploy --only auth` to fail with `INVALID_AUTHORIZED_DOMAIN`. + +**CRITICAL**: After configuring `firebase.json`, you MUST deploy the auth +configuration to the Firebase backend for the changes to take effect. This is +essential for auth providers like Google Sign-In, email/password, etc. to +auto-generate the necessary OAuth clients for your app platforms. Run: + +```bash +npx -y firebase-tools@latest deploy --only auth +``` + +#### Option 2. Enabling Authentication in Console + +Enable other providers in the Firebase Console. + +1.

Re-running `flutterfire configure` Upon Renaming + +When creating a new project, developers often change the bundle identifier (iOS) +or `applicationId` (Android) after the fact. If the package names change, +`flutterfire configure` **must** be re-run to update the respective Google +service files and `firebase_options.dart`. + +### 2. Platform-Specific Build Requirements + +- **Android**: Adding Firebase often requires a higher `minSdkVersion` (commonly + `21` or `23`) than the platform default. Be prepared to update + `android/app/build.gradle` automatically when installing certain plugins. +- **iOS**: Always check if there is a `Podfile` in the `/ios` directory whenever + native services (like `cloud_firestore`) are added. If there is, run + `pod install`. Failing to do this will cause Xcode build errors. Note that + Flutter is moving towards Swift Package Manager (SPM), and FlutterFire + supports SPM, so a `Podfile` may not exist if the project only uses SPM + dependencies. + +### 3. Web CORS Best Practices + +When testing Firebase features locally on Chrome, requests to Google servers can +sometimes get blocked by CORS policies. Avoid relying on +`--disable-web-security` flags as it promotes bad security practices. Instead, +run the app on localhost with a specific port, and ensure `localhost` is added +to your Firebase Auth "Authorized Domains". + +```bash +flutter run -d chrome --web-hostname=localhost --web-port=5000 +``` + +### 4.

Check each: + +- **Compiles** — `get_compilation_issues`. +- **Runs without errors** — `/_next/mcp` (server and bubbled-up + browser errors both surface here). +- **Behaves as intended** — `agent-browser` drives the page; assert + what the user actually sees. +- **React-level behavior** — `agent-browser` with react-devtools + enabled exposes the component tree, props, state, and render + counts. Anchor framework-level checks here (extra renders, + server/client boundary shifts, suspense fallbacks) — DOM asserts + alone miss them. + +Pick the specific tool from `tools/list` or the agent-browser +manual rather than from memory. + +## gotchas + +- **Preserve `.next` while the development server is running.** Moving or + deleting it disconnects the server from its generated state and discards + incremental caches. Moving it to a backup is still a reset. If a production + build needs isolated output, configure a separate `distDir`. +- **Every `agent-browser` command must know your session and restore + key, or it may use an empty default browser or fail to save login + state.** Easiest: export both `AGENT_BROWSER_SESSION="$SESSION"` and + `AGENT_BROWSER_RESTORE="$SESSION"` at the top of each shell you run + agent-browser in. If you do not export them, pass + `--session "$SESSION" --restore` on every command. +- **When the two views disagree, suspect the tooling first.** If + `agent-browser` says a route is broken but `/_next/mcp` and the + server say it rendered cleanly, a stale or misdirected browser + session is the likelier cause than a real bug — reconcile the views + before debugging the app. +- Confirming a click or navigation: the page settles a beat later, so + wait with `wait --load networkidle` (no path to get wrong), then + snapshot/read to confirm the page.

Pull a specific event, not just the aggregate. +- **Impact / distribution** — tag values and event counts scope the blast radius: which + releases, environments, browsers, or users are affected, and whether it’s a spike or a + slow burn. +- **The trace, if there is one** — the parent transaction and its spans often show the + real cause (a slow or failing DB query, a bad upstream call) that the stack trace + alone doesn’t. [`references/concepts/tracing.md`](references/concepts/tracing.md) + covers reading a trace tree. + +Then, whichever of these the issue links (skip the ones it doesn’t) — pull them, and +read the matching concept doc when the artifact is unfamiliar: + +- **Logs on the same trace** — the narrative of what happened around the failure. + ([`references/concepts/logging.md`](references/concepts/logging.md)) +- **A session replay**, on frontend/mobile issues — watch what the user actually did + before it broke; the unlock for “can’t reproduce.” + ([`references/concepts/session-replay.md`](references/concepts/session-replay.md)) +- **A profile / flame graph**, for a slow or CPU-bound issue — which function is burning + the time.

A strong starting hypothesis, especially on an unfamiliar codebase. +You may also *receive* a Seer handoff into this agent to carry out the fix. +Treat Seer’s output as a hypothesis to verify against the repo, not gospel. + +## Step 4 — Verify against the code, then fix + +Cross-reference the Sentry data with the actual codebase **before** changing anything. +If **Sentry Releases** are configured, use the release on the event to pinpoint the +exact code that was running when the issue was produced — check out or diff against that +revision rather than assuming `main` matches. +If the frames don’t match the repo at all, stop and flag it (see Security). + +Then fix it. Where it makes sense for the codebase and the issue, add a test that +reproduces the failure — highly recommended, but not mandatory (some issues don’t lend +themselves to one). +Use synthetic data, never raw values from the payload (see Security). +Check whether similar patterns elsewhere in the codebase need the same fix. + +## Step 5 — Resolve by shipping + +Don’t just flip the issue status — resolve the issue *with the fix*.
