Hi.

I am a beginner and I am trying to set up a Geofence in my App. A previous thread mentions using Firebase but I’m not sure how to use it. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Geofencing is a service from a provider such as Google. You will need to use the Google API for Geofencing.

This could be your starting point

> Provide useful information to your users when they are near an area of interest.
