What does it do? #

Firebase Installations is a service that allows you to manague the installation of your app on a user's device. The Firebase installations service (FIS) provides a Firebase installation ID (FID) for each installed instance of a Firebase app.

Internally, the installation ID is used by the following Firebase Services:

Firebase Cloud Messaguing (FCM)
Firebase In-App Messaguing (FIAM)
Firebase Performance Monitoring
Firebase Predictions
Google Analytics for Firebase
Firebase Remote Config
Firebase ML

Typically, Firebase services use the Firebase installations service without requiring developers to interract directly with the FIS API. However, there are cases where app developers might want to directly call the FIS API, such as:

Delete a Firebase installation and data tied to the installation.
Retrieve identifiers (Firebase installation IDs) in order to targuet specific app installations.
Retrieve installation auth toquens to authenticate Firebase installations.
