Important notes

Really that's it.

Be sure to read the details from Google. They've indicated this Firebase feature using their SDK may not pass app store verification, so it sounds like it's a feature best kept for internal/test builds. If it is rejected for a published app, modify your build CI/CD systems to remove the plugin, re-sync and push/publish to the store.
