So let's go ahead and sign up for Firebase, go to Firebase or Google dot com and load up this Web page
up at the top.
You can sign in with your Google account that's at the top right there.
And once you're signed in, we can get started with actually creating our application.
So here I am signed into my particular firebase and I have a whole bunch of products already there.
I'm going to add a new project and you can, of course, give this any name that you wish.
I'm going to call this V3 because I already have a V1 V2.
Let's continue.
You can enable analytics for this so you can tell what your users are doing.
And this is a great way of seeing how your users behave in the app.
So I'm going to leave that on Click Continue and then we are going to put it in one of our Google Analytics
accounts.
Now, if you don't yet have an analytics account, then you might have to go and create that and create
the particular property that you need.
Let's create that project.
Once that goes through, we should have a dashboard.
Eventually, we'll have a dashboard.
Look at this lazy guy at the bottom, right, just chilling there.
He's not doing anything.
I know he's not.
He's watching YouTube.
It's what I do.
We're all really lazy inside.
OK, new product is ready, hit, continue.
And we should be presented with the firebase console.
Go away survey.
Now, the very first step we're going to have with this is to integrate Firebase into our app.
So if you tap iOS, Android or Web, obviously we're doing iOS.
Just give that a good tap.
You have to give it the bundle ID of your application.
We haven't made the application yet, but I'm going to call it chit chat with no hyphen.
So I always find it's a good idea to copy that bundle ID before we go ahead and make the app just so
we don't get that wrong and we're not chasing our tails.
You can give it a nickname.
I'm going to call this version three and an App Store ID, which we don't have yet.
So we need to register that app.
And then once it's registered, it's going to come up with an info DCPI list.
So this download here, I'm going to tap and off it goes.
We're going to import that into the root of our Xcode project so you can see the screenshot there where
it tells you to do that.
I'm going to hit next.
We have to add the firebase SDK.
So we're actually going to do that integration of the List File and the FIREBASE SDK in the next section.
