what are firebase lock mode and test mode my android app is already on google play enter image description herestore but what choose firebase mode?

Start in locked mode Your data is private by default. Client read/write access will only be granted as specified by your security rules.

Start in test mode Your data is open by default to enable quick setup. However, you must update your security rules within 30 days to enable long-term clients to read/write access.

The default security rules for test mode allow anyone with your database reference to view, edit, and delete all data in your database for the next 30 days

Those are just presets of security rules that you want when creating the database. You can also change and customize the security rules later as need from Firebase console.

Test mod essential allows reads and writes by default to everyone and production mode does not. If you had chosen production, you must chnage the rules and allow users to read write the DB paths that they are supposed to.

CodePudding user response：

Firebase Security Rules stand between your data and malicious users. You can write simple or complex rules that protect your app's data to the level of granularity that your specific app requires.

Firebase Security Rules leverage extensible, flexible configuration languages to define what data your users can access for Realtime Database, Cloud Firestore, and Cloud Storage. Firebase Realtime Database Rules leverage JSON in rule definitions, while Cloud Firestore Security Rules and Firebase Security Rules for Cloud Storage leverage a unique language built to accommodate more complex rules-specific structures.
