In this course, you’ll build an Android app in Kotlin which allows users to update their status using only emoji 😇🐼❤️. The app combines various Firebase services (Authentication, Cloud Functions, and Firestore) to allow users to update and view emoji-only statuses. The user is able to create or sign in to their account with Google.
