I’m trying to firestore documents through react native app, but facing the following issue
Here is the code
constructor() { super(); this.ref = firebase.firestore().collection('todos'); }
and we are triggering button click
addTodo() { this.ref.add({ title: this.state.textInput, complete: false, }); }
we are facing this issue
Error: Firestore: The caller does not have permission to execute the specified operation. (firestore/permission-denied). Error: Firestore: The caller does not have permission to execute the specified operation. (firestore/permission-denied).

Answer
If this error occurs when you run addTodo()
it means that the user doesn’t have permission to write to the todos
collection. Access to Firestore data is controlled through its server-side security rules.
To simply allow anyone to write to todos
use a rule such as this:
service cloud.firestore { match /databases/{database}/documents { match /todos/{document=**} { allow read, write: if true; } } }
But I highly recommend you read the documentation so that you can write more secure rules that match the needs of your app.
