SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires firebase-tools, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Changing app behavior or appearance normally requires publishing a new app version. This Skill guides you through Firebase Remote Config so you can update feature flags, parameters, and conditions dynamically from the cloud without redeploying your app. ## Core Features & Use Cases - SDK Setup for Android and iOS: Step-by-step references for adding Remote Config and Analytics dependencies via Gradle or Swift Package Manager, setting in-app defaults, and fetching/activating values. - Template Management via CLI: Get, edit, deploy, and version-check your Remote Config template using the Firebase CLI (remoteconfig:get, deploy --only remoteconfig, remoteconfig:versions:list). - Troubleshooting Guidance: Handles common failures such as npx 403 registry errors and missing active project context. - Use Case: You want to roll out a new feature to 10% of users in a specific country. Use this Skill to fetch the current template, add a condition and parameter, review the JSON, and deploy it safely. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to fetch your current Firebase Remote Config template and add a feature flag parameter with a rollout condition, then deploy it after your review.

Frequently Asked Questions about firebase-remote-config-basics

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Firebase Remote Config in an Android app?▼

Add the Google Services plugin and the Firebase BoM with firebase-config-ktx and firebase-analytics-ktx dependencies to your Gradle files, place google-services.json in your app module, then set defaults with setDefaultsAsync and call fetchAndActivate to apply remote values.

How do I update a Remote Config template from the command line?▼

Run npx -y firebase-tools@latest remoteconfig:get -o remote_config.json to download the template, edit the conditions and parameters locally, then deploy with firebase-tools deploy --only remoteconfig after mapping the file in firebase.json.

Does Firebase Remote Config require the Firebase CLI?▼

The Firebase CLI is recommended but not strictly required. It is used for template management and project setup via npx -y firebase-tools@latest, while SDK integration in app code works independently once the config files are in place.

Why does npx firebase-tools fail with a 403 error?▼

A 403 error means the npm registry denied access to fetch firebase-tools. The fallback is to use a globally installed firebase command instead, installed via npm install -g firebase-tools.

What is the recommended fetch strategy for Remote Config?▼

Activate previously fetched values immediately at startup and fetch new values in the background for the next launch, minimizing user wait time. You can also use the real-time listener to apply server-side changes instantly.
