A new Flutter project to play around with Cloud Firestore, Firebase Auth, etc.

Resouces used for inspiration for this project

• Baby Names app: https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/flutter-firebase/
• Firebase auth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlcYP6UXlm8

The rest is my own invention to experiment with:

• eventual consistency with the use of aggregates in Firebase Functions

Getting Started

This project is a starting point for a Flutter application.

A few resources to get you started if this is your first Flutter project:

• Lab: Write your first Flutter app
• Cookbook: Useful Flutter samples

For help getting started with Flutter, view our online documentation, which offers tutorials, samples, guidance on mobile development, and a full API reference.

Android

Opt-in for Google CodeSigning (one time)

Go to https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing and complete the form.

Generate a key and keystore

1. Use the following command to initiate keytore and certificate generation:
   keytool -genkey -v -keystore itc-release.keystore -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias itc
2. Backup your itc.keystore file and store passwords safely. If you loose this, then there's a painful process that includes contacting Google's support (see: Create a new upload key).
3. Get your SHA1 certificate fingerprint: keytool -exportcert -list -v -alias itc -keystore itc-release.keystore

Generate a google_play.json for upload

As Google Play account owner follow these instructions to generate the JSON key for API upload to Google Play: https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/getting_started
