Firebase Analytics incorrect active user count

I am integrating my app with Firebase and I have added the ability for users to create accounts using their email, FaceBook, Google accounts.

My app is still under development and yet to be pushed to the app store. Its only available on iOS right now. However Firebase analytics reports that there are 38 active users when I am the only one actively building it.

Active users are the unique users who initiated sessions for a period of time. When you install, uninstall and install the app again, then that will be counted as two active users.
