In this talk, I will cover five Firebase features that many developers don’t know about which will make your life easier and will make you a more productive developer.

In particular, I will show you how to

* Create a smooth onboarding experience using Anonymous Auth
* Map Firestore documents to / from Swift using the Codable protocol
* Fetch data from Firestore with just a single line of code using the FirestoreQuery property wrapper
* Develop locally using the Firebase Emulator Suite
* Call Firebase APIs using async/await

This talk focuses mostly on iOS / Apple developers, but developers targeting Android and the web will benefit as well.
