Firebase now has one-click setup in Google Antigravity 2.0, default Agent Skills integration in Android Studio, and expanded Agent Skills covering mobile (Android, iOS, Flutter), Crashlytics, and Remote Config, plus support for third-party agents like Claude Code and Codex. Google AI Studio gains one-click Cloud Run deployment on a new free Starter Tier, natural-language connections to Google Workspace data via Firebase Authentication, and export-to-Antigravity workflows, plus a forthcoming mobile app for vibe-coding. Firebase AI Logic adds support for the latest Gemini 3.x models (many reaching general availability), Grounding with Google Maps, Nano Banana image controls, finish-reason surfacing, session resumption for Gemini Live API, new security modes (template-only and authentication-mode), App Check replay attack protection, and expanded hybrid inference for iOS and Android. Other announcements include a new Firebase Full-Stack App Essentials Template for Application Design Center, richer targeting for Firebase A/B Testing, and upcoming Crashlytics support for web built on Google Cloud Observability. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I get Agent Skills for Firebase set up in Android Studio? Agent Skills for Firebase are integrated by default in Android Studio's Agent Mode, requiring no additional setup. The agent can set up Firestore and Firebase Authentication, generate Firestore code, and write security rules automatically, and skills now also cover mobile platforms including Android, iOS, and Flutter alongside existing web support. _daily.dev helps developers track new agentic tooling like Firebase's Android Studio integration as it rolls out._ ### What security improvements does Firebase AI Logic add for protecting Gemini prompts and API calls? Firebase AI Logic adds a new template-only mode for server prompt templates that forces execution of only server-stored prompts while ignoring client-sent instructions, plus an upcoming authentication-mode requiring valid Firebase Authentication tokens for Gemini calls. It also introduces Firebase App Check replay attack protection using one-time tokens to stop quota-draining replay attacks. _Teams securing AI-powered apps can follow Firebase AI Logic security changes as they roll out on daily.dev._ ### Can I deploy a Firebase app from Google AI Studio to Cloud Run without a credit card? Yes, Firebase's integration with Google AI Studio now supports one-click deployment to Cloud Run without requiring a payment method, for the first two Firebase-enabled apps under the new Google Cloud Starter Tier. Deploying more than two apps requires upgrading to a full Google Cloud project. _Developers evaluating free deployment paths for AI-built apps can track Firebase and Google Cloud updates on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Vibe-coded AI Studio apps with Firestore, Firebase, Cloud SQL](https://daily.dev/posts/vibe-coded-ai-studio-apps-with-firestore-firebase-cloud-sql-5faawqfxm) · Google Cloud · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [All the news from the Google I/O 2026 Developer keynote](https://daily.dev/posts/all-the-news-from-the-google-i-o-2026-developer-keynote-bloubqs57) · Google Developers · 4 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#gcp](https://daily.dev/tags/gcp), [#firebase](https://daily.dev/tags/firebase), [#google-gemini](https://daily.dev/tags/google-gemini) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-from-firebase-at-google-i-yuioabjix) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"What’s new from Firebase at Google I","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-from-firebase-at-google-i-yuioabjix","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-from-firebase-at-google-i-yuioabjix"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:19:07.644Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:27:14.204Z","description":"Google announced a wave of Firebase updates tied to Google I/O 2026, focused on integrating Firebase into agentic and AI-assisted development workflows....","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7083a154aa35c7e041b2e09717bf6f8d?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/7083a154aa35c7e041b2e09717bf6f8d?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Firebase","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Firebase","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--i395oqZH--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487448/logos/firebase-blog?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-from-firebase-at-google-i-yuioabjix","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,gcp,firebase,google-gemini","timeRequired":"PT8M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Firebase","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"What’s new from Firebase at Google I"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-from-firebase-at-google-i-yuioabjix#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I get Agent Skills for Firebase set up in Android Studio?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Agent Skills for Firebase are integrated by default in Android Studio's Agent Mode, requiring no additional setup.
