Set up Firebase in your Flutter project and implement user authentication using email/password, Google Sign-In, and other providers.

Firebase for Flutter Apps

Welcome to Firebase integration! Firebase is a powerful platform by Google that offers many backend services for your mobile and web applications.

It acts as a Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS), meaning it handles server-side operations so you can focus on building your app's frontend.

In this lesson, we'll set up Firebase in a Flutter project and implement basic user authentication.

First, you need a Firebase project. Go to the Firebase Console and follow these steps:

Click 'Add project' and follow the prompts.
Once created, click the 'Add app' button (Android or iOS icon).
Register your app by providing the package name (Android) or bundle ID (iOS).
Download the configuration file: google-services.json for Android, GoogleService-Info.plist for iOS.
