Can I create an app where the user never has to log in or create a username and password? [closed]

I am using firebase/firestore and I really don’t want or need anyone to sign in or create a user ID. I have one collection that I’d like the user to write to. The fields are meaningless and have no information that would mean anything to anyone but reports I would like to have. All of the other collections are read only. Will I be allowed to do this as far as firebase and Apple publishing the app? If necessary could I create a user with device name and a password but the user would not have to do anything or ever have to?

    Sure, you can build whatever you want. But you should review the guidelines for the stores you intend to publish to. We can’t give you advice about that.

  • will firebase have an issue with allowing anyone that has the app to write to a collection with no authentication whatsoever? I’m just testing and I get warnings about my auth. rules everyday

  • Sure, you can build whatever you want. You assume the cost of any security risks in your implementation.

  • Thank you for the information. I’ll noodle with it but sounds like I can allow the user to write to the one collection and everything else will be read only. Appreciate your time
