Images from the App

Before Beginning: READ BEFORE USING!

— Since the firebase project keys are private, I do not share them generally, but for the tutorial purpose, I share “firebase.options.dart” file as an example for you. If you want to use this application, first you must complete the necessary setups for the “GetStream” and “Firebase”. You can not run the application directly If you fork, you will need appKey and devtoken for the “GetStream” section, and “firebase_options.dart” file that is coming from the Firebase itself.

• For the GetStream, you can register for free: https://getstream.io/try-for-free/
• Also to create devToken, you can visit the link: https://getstream.io/chat/docs/flutter-dart/token_generator/?language=dart
• For the “Firebase”, you can also register for free, and then complete the necessary steps. After that, you will need to create a Firebase project to use in this project. To register, visit: https://firebase.google.com

— Also, you should know, sign-in section of this application is coming from my other open source project that is actually “phone_number_sign_in_cubit” project.

— For this open-source app, the integration, widget, and unit tests will exist coming soon…
