We started building expo-firebase based off of react-native-firebase in order to attempt to get it to work well within the Expo client. It turned out that there wasn't a good way to do this - the SDK fully expects that there is one binary per app, and the Expo client has multiple apps inside of it. We weren't able to work around this.

If you'd like to use Firebase in the Expo client with the managed workflow, we'd recommend using the Firebase JS SDK. It supports Firebase Realtime Database and Firebase Storage. If you'd like access to the full suite of native firebase tools, we recommend using the bare workflow and react-native-firebase, because we cannot support this in the Expo client currently.

this is a good issue to comment on to discuss firebase analytics in managed expo projects: firebase/firebase-js-sdk#2244

I know this might not be your ideal answer, but the Segment / expo-segment integration is pretty nice. It does still require a work-around for expo web, including customizing the index.html file and a few other small details, but I'm sure that will get worked out soon enough.

If someone wanted to enable Crashlytics or Firebase Performance traces, is the only way via config-plugins and creating new custom expo modules?

Has anyone successfully integrated Crashlytics of Firebase Performance into their expo applications thus far?

you can now use react-native-firebase with config plugins, I would do that

@nandorojo does it mean the expo doesn't need to be ejected?
