You can read this file https://github.com/Ctere1/react-native-chat/blob/master/.env.example

Login your firebase and get firebase info

Setting Up Firebase for a Chat App

1. Create a Firebase Project

• Go to https://firebase.google.com/ and create a new project.
• Navigate to Authentication and enable the Email/Password sign-in method.
• Go to Firestore Database and create a new database.

2. Get Firebase API Keys

• In your Firebase project, go to Project Settings.
• You’ll find your "Web API Key" and other necessary information there.

3. Setup .env File

• Create a .env file in your project and add the following:

  #Firebase Config
  EXPO_PUBLIC_API_KEY=
  EXPO_PUBLIC_AUTH_DOMAIN=
  EXPO_PUBLIC_PROJECT_ID=
  EXPO_PUBLIC_STORAGE_BUCKET=
  EXPO_PUBLIC_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID=
  EXPO_PUBLIC_APP_ID=
  EXPO_PUBLIC_MEASUREMENT_ID=

And that's it! You should now have Firebase set up for your chat app. @macgadger
