Im having the same problem,
did you manage to solve?

I had the same problem. The solution that worked for me was to do “npm install firebase@latest”. By doing that you will probably get warnings that the latest firebase version is not compatible with your current expo version, but everything with firebase works as expected for me.

Another solution I found that worked for other people was to install an older version of node (version 10 or 12). This is a bit more complex approach, but it should certainly fix the problem as well.

Yes you can use npm install Firebase. This will install the latest version of Firebase but it’s the best way to install it.
