There is a problem with testing an app that uses Firebase. And how do you solve this problem?

Question

Android

Faced such a problem. I'm writing a small application in android studio, using Firebase, I needed to test this application, but here's the catch: I'm using Genymotion, there is no google play services, or those that suggest putting it there give various errors. Also, I have no way to connect a real device to the computer. I tried using avd, but I have an AMD-based processor, I had to download AMD-specific images, and the emulation ended up being terrible. The emulator starts up for about 25-30 minutes, and is buggy, although I have 12 GB of RAM and 4 cores. In general, the bottom line is, how do you test Androd applications that use Firebase?

Answer 1

Did you install the emulator image for your architecture? If you have 64, and the image is 32, then it looks like what you write. You can also try to allocate more memory for genymotion.

Answer 2

I spat on these emulators for a long time.
You connect a real device via USB - and all tests fly like an airplane.
And wait until the emulator starts and deal with its bugs - thank you, my time is worth a lot.
