I have an app which is connected to Firebase.
I have set the rules in the database so that one user (lets name it testUsr) has the permission to read the database but not write to it.
In the iOS app I implemented the login function to the firebase, BUT I hard coded the username and password for the testUsr.
So my question is that will my app get rejected for that hard coded user authentication if I publish it someday?

Answer 1

Yes, your application will be rejected by Apple because you are using a login service without implementing login with Apple (According to the most recently issued guidelines). They might make an exception though if the whole process happens in code alone—I'm not sure but I would avoid the hassle.
Why is a login required at all? Can't you just make your database on the firebase side read-only without the need of a sign-in at all? You can alter the rules in your database I'm thinking something like. Let me know if it doesn't work and ill do some more researching.
// Allow read/write access on all documents to any user signed in to the application
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow write: if request.auth.uid == "**YOUR MAC ACCOUNT**";
allow read;
}
}
