Firebase android version 15.0.0 : Everything you need to know

I use firebase a lot! Lots of apps I build are hosted on firebase and I can do some impossible stuff with firebase. This makes me always connected with updates concerning firebase.

A new version was released April 12th, 2018. One new feature was added and an update was made on a method within the StorageReference class.

1) StorageReference class: Getting the download URL of an uploaded file(s) is now are simpler. You just need to use StorageReference.getDownloadUrl() instead of getDownloadUrl() route from the result.

getDownloadUrl() is now deprecated!

2) A new method is now added to “GetTokenResult” class called getClaims():

getClaims() returns the entire payload claims of the ID token including the standard reserved claims as well as the custom claims (set by developer via Admin SDK). Developers should verify the ID token and parse claims from its payload on the backend and never trust this value on the client. Returns an empty map if no claims are present.

That’s all for firebase SDK version 15.0.0 : Lets keep building!
