OTP verification

It's time to add Firebase to your app. To do this you'll need a Firebase project and a Firebase configuration file for your app. To create a Firebase project:
Go to the Firebase Console
Click Add project, then select or enter a Project name.
If you have an existing Google project associated with your app, select the project from the Project name dropdown menu.
If you don't have an existing Google project, enter a new Project name.
Follow the remaining setup steps, then click Create project (or Add Firebase, if you're using an existing Google project).
Firebase automatically provisions resources for your Firebase project. The process typically takes a few minutes. When the process completes, you'll be taken to the overview page for your Firebase project in the Firebase console.
Now that you have a project, you can add your Android app to it:
Click Add Firebase to your Android app and follow the setup steps. If you're importing an existing Google project, this may happen automatically and you can just download the config file.
When prompted, enter your app's package name. It's important to enter the package name your app is using; this can only be set when you add an app to your Firebase project.
During the process, you'll download a google-services.json file. You can download this file again at any time.
After you add the initialization code, run your app to send verification to the Firebase console that you've successfully installed Firebase.
