Hi There, I am new here 🙂 I have tried for days to get firebase rules working for higher security. I would like firebase to only allow read write if the correct user is signed in.  
I’ve slightly modified the fav phrase app tutorial that I followed on youtube (Thank you to the creator - I’m sorry I can’t find the tutorial again to give proper credit). It works if I set the read-write rules to true, but I can’t get thunkable project to work if the following rules are in place: {  
“rules”: {  
“users”: {  
“$uid”: {  
“.read”: “auth != null && auth.uid == $uid”,  
“.write”: “auth != null && auth.uid == $uid”  
}  
}  
}  
}  
Here is a link to the thunkable project: [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/78a87c4a25306801705567167ca558a6](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/78a87c4a25306801705567167ca558a6)

Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated. Ive watched/read so many tutorials, and can’t get it to work. Thank you so much.
