good video thanks! but what about the firebaseConfig api key etc... aren't you now just creating the problem again? Can't the firebase api key can be extracted from the app?
Yes my understanding is that the googleservice.json file is exposed to the app, but that's okay. You are supposed to restrict how it is used in the server. And that's why we set the api key on the server, so you have to be logged in and pass through the security rules to get access to the api key. That being said, nothing is really safe on the internet, but the idea is to add security layers so it's not easy to access sensitive info. This is just another layer so, that users can't directly copy the api key after decompling the app
No problem! And no dumb questions! This is free for the first 2 million invocations. Then it's $0.40/million after! And you can check out more specific pricing here: firebase.google.com/pricing

Awesome video Andrew! It’s really important to not expose secret keys anywhere on the front end in React Native.
Thanks Frank! I totally agree.
Thank you so much Andrew, Dumb question! is this free?
