Enabling Google Login¶

ExoHome supports Sign in with Google function as default for users logging into the ExoHome app with Google accounts. Please follow the settings and provide the final results to Exosite. We'll assist you with the rest. If you prefer not to provide this login method to the users, please inform Exosite to turn off the related cloud settings.

Prerequisite¶

• Google developer account
• Firebase developer account
• Release/debug Keystore file generated for building the Android App

Requirements¶

To enable Google login, you must create a project in Firebase Console and Google Cloud Console. Please make sure the follow settings are completed before you start building your apps:

• Setup in Firebase Console
• Setup in Google Cloud Console
• Download GoogleService-info.json (Android) and GoogleService-info.plist (iOS) for building APPs.
• Provide the Web client ID and Web client secret to Exosite team after you finish the above settings.

Setup in Firebase Console¶
