Emulator is throwing error while using firebase authentication with React Native using expo-cli

[dipanshubahuguna]

While using functionality of authentication through firebase, emulator is showing error i.e.{ you attempted to use a firebase module that is not installed on your android project by calling firebase.app() }.Please help me to resolve this error.
I'm using Expo as command line input.

react-native version -0.63.6,
"@react-native-firebase/app": "^8.4.3",
"@react-native-firebase/auth": "^9.2.3"

Hi there!

There's not enough information to go on, but this will be some project-specific installation failure.
Please clone this repo and run this script to generate a fully working sample project, the difference causing your project to not run will be in the difference between the sample and your project: https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh

Hello @mikehardy
I'm using expo-cli with react native and I was trying to add firebase as a backend via web configuration key.
I was trying to add Email authentication functionality with the help of firebase but my emulator is throwing error as mentioned above .
After a lot of research one thing I came to know is that this is a version issue as react-native ^0.63.3 is not linking all the modules but I'm not able to resolve this error from past 15 days :( .
One more thing I came to know that we can use Android/iOS config but for this we first need to split our application's file into iOS and android using expo-split but then there will be no significance of using react-native as a cross platforming framework.
Please help me to resolve this issue I will be very thankful to you..

If you are using Expo, you'll need to work with them for support.
