If you are compiling your app locally, run [`npx expo prebuild --clean`](https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/prebuild/) to generate the native project directories. Then, follow the local app compilation steps described in [Local app development](https://docs.expo.dev/guides/local-app-development/) guide in Expo docs. If you prefer using a build service, refer to [EAS Build](https://docs.expo.dev/build/setup/).

Note that if you have already installed the `Expo Go` app (using something like `npx expo run` instead of doing the `--prebuild` local development steps...) then you must uninstall it first. The `Expo Go` app does not contain most non-Expo native modules like react-native-firebase, and you will see errors related to the native modules not being loaded if you try to use it.
Note: if you have already installed an Expo development build on your device/simulator (i.e. using `npx expo prebuild` and `npx expo run:<platform>`) prior to adding `react-native-firebase` to your project, then you may see errors related to the native modules not being loaded if you try to use it, e.g. `'Native module RNFBAppModule not found. Re-check module install, linking, configuration, build and install steps.'`. If so, you should uninstall the previous the development build from your device/simulator, do a clean build using `npx expo prebuild --clean`, and then redeploy using `npx expo run:<platform>`.
