Prepare your Firebase project
Create the Cloud Storage bucket where your update packages will live.
Step 1. Enable Cloud Storage
- 1Open the Firebase console and create or select a project.
- 2Go to Build → Storage → Get started and create the default bucket. Choose a location close to your users.
- 3New buckets (
<project>.firebasestorage.app) require the Blaze (pay-as-you-go) plan.
Step 2. Security rules
Your Storage rules can stay locked down. FireOTA writes with the Google authorization you grant it, and devices download through per-file tokenised links — no public bucket is needed.
Firebase SDK in the app
Tip: You do not need to add the Firebase SDK to your React Native app for OTA updates.
