Getting started<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Sample application used in this tutorial Flutter CI Test<\/a><\/li>
  2. Create flutter application<\/a><\/li>
  3. You can use flutter_flavorizr<\/a> to generate Android\/iOS flavors. Sample configuration with firebase support can be found in pubspec.yaml<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Create Firebase project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    1. Here<\/a> you can create Firebase project. Make sure that project belongs to your organization.<\/li>
    2. Create Firebase apps (one per flavor and platform e.g. Android dev, iOS dev, Android staging, iOS staging etc.) in Firebase overview https:\/\/console.firebase.google.com\/project\/{project_name}\/overview.
      Follow steps in creator to download config files and add Firebase SDK to flutter app. More details       here<\/a><\/li>
