Hello.
I have a question or two about saving players progress in my mobile game so that they can keep their coins, bought items from the coins shop and checkpoints information if they reinstall the game.
I’ve managed to make it save and load everything properly on the device, but all those saves get deleted when the game is uninstalled.
As far as I understand it, I should use Firebase, but all the guides seem to be outdated or don’t quite show how to do it right.
I would like to enable players to login via either email and password + add their username or if it’s possible, let them login via just username and password, which could be better.
I’ve been at this for a couple of days and have made 0 progress so far, it all seems hard to understand and confusing with the existing guides.
When I setup the email/password auth. in firebase website, I get this warning:
Which means what, I can’t setup an email/password login?
And when I click on the “Learn more” link on the bottom left, I get sent to a page where it says that those features will no longer work after the 25th of august 2025. There are no guides after that date and that’s where the confusion comes in on that part.
I’d need to enable cloud saving for the game if I ever want it to have any kind of purchasable items or let people watch ads on android and keep the earned rewards from those ads or purchases after they reinstall the game or install it on another device.
For refference, i’ve used the videos of LevelUpWithAlex on youtube, which have been previously suggested in the forum, it’s a series of 5 videos and they get progressively more confusing…
Please help
