Problem after linking Firebase to a React Native app

Question

I am trying to link my react-native app to firebase and work on the auth module.

I followed the steps of the installation in https://rnfirebase.io/

It works when I run npx react-native run-android

But when I use expo start to work on the pre-production app I always get the error you attempted to use a firebase module that is not installed firebase.app()

Answer 1

After working on this problem for while, after solving it, I would like to share my answer.

The library https://rnfirebase.io/ does not work with a managed workflow like Expo, so be sure to use the bare workflow to work with the library.
