Which firebase services require google play services on Android?

Question

I\'m working on a project where we have an Android tablet that cannot have google play services installed on it. Which features/services of firebase have a dependency on go

Answer 1

You can see it from the documentation.

https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/android-play-services

I managed to run my app after migrating to non play services Firebase Auth, while the database and storage continue to work fine.

Answer 2

Google Pay service can basically installed apps in its sore onto the device, if you cannot use this you would need to make the app as a "progressive web app" instead then. https://developers.google.com/web/progressive-web-apps/

Effectively what you can do through a webpage, using firebase hosting/firebaseDB/storage you would want to simply install a npm i -g firebase-tools do a firebase init in your project folder and configure your firebase settings to use your apps distribution folder for AnglularCLI the public folder would be "dist"

Answer 3

firebaser here

Some Firebase products require Google Play Services, while others don't. Information on this is nowadays included in the Firebase documentation, so I recommend checking out dependencies of Firebase Android SDKs on Google Play services for the latest list.

Answer 4

with the old versioning, play-services-base and play-services-auth were required; eg. to use FirebaseAuth with a Google account. the documentation only states firebase-core (checked that yesterday, because of a similar dependency question). but most likely, the "Login with Google" auth-provider might not be available then - and you would have to offer alternate ways to register an account.
