## Update base\_config.json

Update the following values in `base_config.json`, which help establish the connection between the app and firebase:

- `"firebaseAndroidApiKey"`
- `"firebaseAndroidAppId"`
- `"firebaseAndroidMessagingSenderId"`
- `"firebaseAndroidProjectId"`
- `"firebaseAndroidStorageBucket"`
- `"firebaseIOSApiKey"`
- `"firebaseIOSAppId"`
- `"firebaseIOSMessagingSenderId"`
- `"firebaseIOSProjectId"`
- `"firebaseIOSStorageBucket"`
- `"firebaseIOSBundleId"`

You can collect these values from the `google_service.json` and`GoogleService-Info.plist` files. Locate these files by going to the project settings and selecting **GoogleService-Info.plist** for the app.

### Map values for GoogleService-Info.plist

Map the following values from the `GoogleService-Info.plist` file.

- `"firebaseIOSApiKey" : "API_KEY",`
- `"firebaseIOSAppId" : "GOOGLE_APP_ID",`
- `"firebaseIOSMessagingSenderId" : "GCM_SENDER_ID",`
- `"firebaseIOSProjectId" : "PROJECT_ID",`
- `"firebaseIOSStorageBucket" : "STORAGE_BUCKET",`
- `"firebaseIOSBundleId" : "BUNDLE_ID"`

Map the following values from the `google_services.json` file. If you have multiple clients in the file, copy the one where your Android application ID matches the `package_name `inside that client.

- `"firebaseAndroidApiKey" : "current_key",`
- `"firebaseAndroidAppId" : "mobilesdk_app_id",`
- `"firebaseAndroidMessagingSenderId" : "project_number",`
- `"firebaseAndroidProjectId" : "project_id",`
