I'm trying to integrate Firebase into my expo app using the react-native-firebase framework which has several advantages over the regular firebase package when it comes to react-native apps.

However, I'm running into difficulties since the instructions say I must add the GoogleService-Info.plist to ios/[YOUR APP NAME]/GoogleService-Info.plist, and expo apps don't have an ios folder from what I understand.

Am I pretty much screwed or is there a solution for this?

As the react-native-firebase documentation says, you need to eject your app if you want to use this library with expo. Be mind that eject action is not reversible. More info here and here and here.

If you use Expo and would like to use this package, you'll need to eject. If you do not want to eject, but wish to make use of features such as Realtime Database (without offline support) & Authentication, you can still use the Firebase Web SDK in your project.
