Additional info : if you use “Firebase” in your first word of your project name, the console will shorten the name with “Fir”.

example : “firebase-indonesia” => “fir-indonesia” / “fir-indonesia”
But if you use “indonesia-firebase” then it will still stay as it is, unless the project name has already been taken by another existing project.

Then you can wether enable the Google Analytics for your project or not.
If you do you can get these features all of the box, which are awesome!

  • A/B Testing
  • User segmentation
  • Crash free users
  • Event based cloud function triggers
  • Free unlimited reporting

Then choose the default account of Google Analytics for your Firebase project, this is important because this is the key points of how the analytics flow will be happen, where Firebase will create a new property of Google analytics and integrate it with your Firebase Project.

That’s it! click “Create project” and Firebase will create it for you!
