Turns out the project is using two different wrapper libraries (?!):
firebase
for authentication, which uses config.js
to reference environment variables. https://docs.expo.dev/guides/using-firebase/react-native-firebase
for analytics, which uses the google-services.json
file https://rnfirebase.io/#installation-1While I'm here, I also learned that OAuth "Sign in with Google" requires the Web app id, not the Android/iOS app ids.
