Please clarify in README about the relationship of this project with React Native Firebase

React Native Firebase:
https://rnfirebase.io/

I have some questions that I think they should be mentioned in README:

• On smartphones with React Native, I should use React Native Firebase or ReactFire?
• If ReactFire is also usable on smartphones, how does it perform differently compared to React Native Firebase?
• The suspense hooks of ReactFire are very cool. React Native Firebase doesn't have hooks. Can I/should I/how do I use ReactFire together with React Native Firebase so that I can use the hooks?

FWIW, i was able to install using:

expo install firebase
yarn add reactfire

however I keep getting an error like: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'this._warmupSubscription')

I think is due to the Suspense thing. Not sure yet how to fix it

In that case, you can follow this instruction to enable suspense (and you need to put your components inside <Suspense> component):

Hello team can you provide some responses to the original question, we have the same doubts , thx

reactfire wraps the Firebase Web SDK and is designed for web React apps. For React Native / Expo, react-native-firebase is the maintained solution. The two aren't designed to be used together. We'll add a note to the README to make this clearer. Tracked in #721. Closing this for now.
