User Authentication Starter Code

Note: A more mordern SwiftUI version of authentication is available here that addresses a lot of common issues and using async await is available here

The goal of this API is to be forked, used as a started code, and easily have User Authentication without hours of setting up.

Why Use?

• Hackathons participants that wants to have a quick Firebase User Authentication built in your app with as little effort and time wasted as possible
• Prototyping apps to immediately see a live app with P2P features and connectivity
• Learning Firebase Authentication: email login/register, Facebook login/register, phone login/register, anonymous signin
