Providing An Initial Snapshot Of A Firestore Database

We are considering migrating our Android data to Firestore. We have a mostly read-only database (Users will only ever read, but staff will push updates a couple of times daily). Fo

Solution 1:

Firestore doesn't provide a way to bundle into your app some default data that can be queried with the SDK. Firebase is a cloud-hosted database, which means that all data must live "in the cloud" in order to be queried (or must have been previously queried and cached locally, which can be read while offline).

You are always free to file a feature request, however.
