Integration with Expo is possible when using a [development build](https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/overview/#development-builds). You can configure the project via [config plugins](https://docs.expo.io/guides/config-plugins/) or manually configure the native projects yourself (the "bare workflow").

_NOTE:_ React Native Firebase cannot be used in the pre-compiled [Expo Go app](https://docs.expo.dev/get-started/expo-go/) because React Native Firebase uses native code that is not compiled into Expo Go.

#### Configure React Native Firebase modules

If you are manually adjusting your Android and iOS projects, follow the same instructions as [React Native CLI projects](#installation-for-react-native-cli-projects).

The recommended approach to configure React Native Firebase is to use [Expo Config Plugins](https://docs.expo.dev/config-plugins/introduction/). You will add React Native Firebase modules to the [`plugins`](https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/config/app/#plugins) array of your `app.json` or `app.config.js`. See the note below to determine which modules require Config Plugin configurations.

If you are instead manually adjusting your Android and iOS projects (this is not recommended), follow the same instructions as [React Native CLI projects](#installation-for-react-native-cli-projects).

To enable Firebase on the native Android and iOS platforms, create and download Service Account files for each platform from your Firebase project. Then provide paths to the downloaded `google-services.json` and `GoogleService-Info.plist` files in the following `app.json` fields: [`expo.android.googleServicesFile`](https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/config/app/#googleservicesfile-1) and [`expo.ios.googleServicesFile`](https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/config/app/#googleservicesfile). See the example configuration below.

For iOS only, since `firebase-ios-sdk` requires `use_frameworks` then you want to configure [`expo-build-properties`](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/build-properties/#pluginconfigtypeios) `app.json` by adding `"useFrameworks": "static"`. See the example configuration below.

#### Local app compilation

If you are compiling your app locally, use the local app compilation steps described in [Local app development](https://docs.expo.dev/guides/local-app-development/) guide in Expo docs.
If you are compiling your app locally, run [`npx expo prebuild --clean`](https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/prebuild/) to generate the native project directories. Then, follow the local app compilation steps described in [Local app development](https://docs.expo.dev/guides/local-app-development/) guide in Expo docs. If you prefer using a build service, refer to [EAS Build](https://docs.expo.dev/build/setup/).
