Add user information with Firebase authentication.

Question

I'm implementing an Authenticate with Firebase using Password-Based Accounts on iOS. After sign-in a user we can get particular information like user.email, user.uid, user.photoURL, user.displayName. However I can set email and password as follows.

[[FIRAuth auth]
     createUserWithEmail:username
     password:password
     completion:^(FIRUser *_Nullable user,
                  NSError *_Nullable error) {

     }];

In here no problem to get user.email. But I didn't set other information here. How to set other information such as user.photoURL, user.displayName with above createUserWithEmail method.

You need to call FIRUserProfileChangeRequest after the user authentication to update the profile info.

FIRUserProfileChangeRequest *changeRequest =
    [[FIRAuth auth].currentUser profileChangeRequest];
changeRequest.displayName = userInput;
[changeRequest commitChangesWithCompletion:^(NSError *_Nullable error) {
  // ...
}];

You can check my answer here. It can help You. But its on Swift language.

Main tip that You need to store Users in database too. And have a link to image in it.

Hope it helps
