Hi,

I’ve create a multi-device copy of the classic game of Boggle. It works well and uses Firebase to share the randomly generated 5x5 letter grid and link players by creating a game id that is shared.

The app is linked to a new Google Firebase a/c I’ve set up.

I’ve told friends to copy the project and run the app hoping we’ll be able to work together. But their devices are not talking to my Firebase a/c as per the project settings.

Is this expected behaviour? Are Firebase account settings removed when a project is copied/remixed?

Many thanks,  
Phil.

Yep. You have to include the api key and database url

OK, just so I’m clear, the Firebase settings are removed when a project is remixed.

Many thanks for your quick response.

Best regards,  
Phil.

Correct, all personal information is removed when remixing a project for security.
